Activator1. Why do you accept money in

exchange for a good or service?

2. What gives money its value?

Represents purchasing power, acceptable form of currency, other people will accept it, etc…

Government says so, domestically and internationally accepted, represents value of goods and services

Money and BankingEvolution of Money

Money – most basic of all financial assets, used to buy goods and services– Something that is regularly accepted in exchange for

goods and services

Three Functions of money:1. Medium of exchange2. Unit of Account3. Store of Value


Functions of MoneyMedium of Exchange – acts as a payment for goods and services; buyers give sellers in exchange for productsBarter system – economy that relies on the exchange of product for product– The direct exchange of goods and services for other goods and

services.Double coincidence of wants – situation where two people simultaneously have a product that the other wants

Unit of AccountUnit of Account– an expression of value; a way for comparing the values of goods and services– Keep track of debts and investments

Fossil – $89.95 Bulova – $399.95 Rolex - $11,995


Store of Value – money holds its value if you decide to store it instead of spend it– Helps people convert purchasing power from present to

future value by gaining interest

Functions of Money


The Kinds of MoneyCommodity money – money that has an alternative use as a commodity, which has intrinsic valueIntrinsic value – item would have value if not used as money– Gold, silver, cigarettes (WW2), tulip bulbs (1600’s Europe), etc


The Kinds of Money

Fiat – order/decree; government issued money– Paper dollars– Money that is intrinsically worthless

Legal tender - is money that a government has required to be accepted in settlement of debts


Liquidity – ease with which an asset can be converted into money as a medium of exchange– Liquid – checking account– Nonliquid - House

Functions of Money


Money in the U.S. EconomyMoney supply/stock – quantity of money (paper and digital) in the economy– October 2010 – 9.61 Trillion in M1– Currency – paper bills and coins in the hands of the public

(800 Billion)– Demand deposits – balances in bank accounts, that can be accessed

by writing a check• Checking accounts, travelers checks


Money in the U.S. EconomyM1 – money that people can gain access to easily and immediately; checkable demand deposits. – Highly liquid – physical currency (minted coins and printed paper,

demand deposits (checking accounts, traveler’s checks)M2 – consists of M1 plus accounts that are not as liquid– Slightly less liquid - Savings accounts, certificates of deposits (CDs),

money market, mutual funds, etc.


Banking


The Federal Reserve (“The Fed”) – the central bank of the U.S.Created in 1913 by Congress, Federal Reserve ActCentral Bank – institution designed to oversee the banking system and regulate the quantity of money in the economy.Monetary policy – “money”, directly affects the nation’s money supply (expansionary or contractionary)– Dollar is officially a “Federal Reserve Note”

The Federal Reserve


Central Bank is in Washington D.C.Run by a 7 member board of governorsAppointed by the president, confirmed by the Senate to 14 year termsBoard is led by the chairmanCurrent chairman – Ben Bernanke

Structure of the Federal Reserve


Fed is comprised of Twelve Federal District Reserve Banks– One Federal Reserve Bank for each district– Each FRB monitors economic and banking conditions in its

district

The Federal Open Market Committee

Structure and function:Run by the 7 member board of governors (Washington D.C.) and 5 of the 12 regional bank presidentsAll attend, only 5 vote, President of New York Fed always votes (financial capital of the world


The Federal Open Market Committee

Power and Influence:Increase or decrease the $ money $ supplyOpen-market operation – buying and selling U.S. government bonds

Increase money supply – buy government bonds from the public (quantitative easing)Decrease money supply – sell government bonds to the public


Think of a dam…

A dam controls the flow of water downriver.Releasing too much water would cause flooding.Too little water would cause a drought.


The Fed is like a dam...

The Fed is like a dam...The river is the $ supply.Too much $ causes inflation.Too little $ can cause a recession.

Money Supply


Three monetary policy tools 1. Open-market operations2. Reserve requirements 3. Interest Rates

(Federal Funds Rate)

The Fed’s Tools of Monetary Control


Money Supply and Lending


Picture This


Open-Market Operations – the purchase and sale of U.S. government bonds by the Fed– Most often used tool of the FedIncrease the Money Supply– Buy bonds from the banks – credit the banks with money, increases the money

supply• Easy money policy - expansionary monetary policy, goal is to expand the

economy by lowering interest rates, increase inflation, encourages banks to lend money to consumers , discourage saving

Open-Market Operations


– Decrease money supply– Sell bonds to the bank, withdrawal money, decrease the money supply

• Tight money policy – contractionary monetary policy, goal is to slow the economy by raising interest rates, contracting the economy, cause inflation to slow, discourage borrowing, encourage saving, restricts the money supply

Brainstorm - FED


Fractional-reserve system – banks hold only a fraction of deposit reserves as opposed to 100% of depositsReserve – money deposit that banks have received but not loaned out

Fractional Reserve System


Reserve Requirements – regulations on the minimum amount of reserves that banks must hold against deposits– Banks must have a supply of reserves to protect against "runs" or "panics.“ (

it’s a wonderful life video clip) Modern Bank Runs– 10% on M1 – Influences how much money banks can create from each deposit (reserves)– Increase in RRR, banks must hold more reserves, can loan out less– Decrease in RRR, banks must hold less reserves, can loan out more

Reserve Requirements

Required Reserve Ratio – set by the Fed, minimum amount that must be held by the bank– Established by the Federal Reserve, currently 1/10 or 10%

of M1– $1000 deposit, the bank would hold $100 in reserve and

have $900 for lendingRequired Reserves– the portion/percentage of a money deposit that must be held by the bank– May not be loaned out– Protect the bank against withdrawals on demand deposits

Excess Reserves – bank reserves in excess of the reserve requirement set by the Fed – They are reserves of cash more than the required amounts– May be loaned out or used for withdrawals on demand

depositsLoans - portion of deposit that is loaned out to borrowers– Money supply does not increase until banks actually lend

money into circulation

Money multiplier formula – helps determine the amount of money that the banking system generates with each dollar of reservesMM = 1/RRR– 1/.10 = 10– 1/.05 = 20

Money Creation– Initial Cash Deposit (principal) x (MM)– The higher the RRR, the less banks have to loan out (vice versa)– 100(10) = 1000– 100(20) = 2000

A $2000 deposit is made in the bank and the RRR is 12%.1. How much must be held as required reserves?2. How much will be available in excess reserves?3. How much could the initial deposit increase the money supply if

the RRR was 12%?4. How much could the initial deposit increase the money supply if

the RRR was 10%?5. How much could the initial deposit increase the money supply if

the RRR was 5%?6. Which RRR yielded the greatest amount? Explain why.

RRR and Money Multiplier Review

2000 x .12 = $240

2000 – 240 = $1760

MM = 1/.12 = 8.3

2000 x 10 = $20,000

2000 x 20 = $40,000

5%. The lower the RRR, the higher the excess reserves available to loan out, which subsequently add a greater amount to the money supply.

2000 x 8.3 = $16,666.67

MM = 1/.10 = 10

MM = 1/.05 = 20


Discount Rate – interest rate on loans the Fed makes to banks; currently .75%– Fed is the lender of last resort– Banks borrow from Fed when it has low

reserves; too many loans, high withdrawals– Lower discount rate encourages borrowing– Higher discount rate discourages borrowing

Federal Funds Rate – short-term interest rate that banks charge each other for loans– Currently 0 - .25%

Tight Monetary Policy (Tight, Contractionary) Loose Monetary Policy (Easy, Expansionary)

Tight vs. Loose Monetary Policy

The Fed sells bonds (securities) to the banks, taking money out of the economy.

This pushes up the federal funds rate (interest rate charged from bank to bank).

Banks then have to charge higher interest rates to households and firms causing the price of a bond to fall.

Consumers and businesses are given less incentive to borrow and more incentive to save.

Decreased borrowing leads to decreased spending.

Decreased spending leads to a contractionary economy and slows down the economy.

The Fed buys bonds (securities) from the banks, adding money into the economy.

This brings down the federal funds rate (interest rate charged from bank to bank).

Banks then can charge lower interest rates to households and firms causing the price of a bond to fall.

Consumers and businesses are given the incentive to borrow.

Increased borrowing leads to increased spending.

Spending leads to economic growth and increased employment.


Free Response Question

What was the intent of this question?Part (a) asked students to use the balance sheet of a bank to find the reserve requirement. Part (b) tested their ability to identify the effect of a cash withdrawal on bank reserves, explain the effect of the cash withdrawal on the money supply, and identify the effect of the cash withdrawal on excess reserves. Part (c)asked students to identify how a bank with deficient reserves could meet its reserve requirements.What were common student errors or omissions?Students had difficulty explaining the effect of a cash withdrawal from a bank on the M1 measure of the money supply and calculating the level of excess reserves after the cash withdrawal.

2.

3. $18,0004. 1/.20 = 55. $10000 x 5 = $50,0006. Less, because a smaller amount of each loan gets re-deposited

to be available to be loaned again.7. Less, because a smaller amount of each deposit gets loaned out

to be available to be deposited again.

8. a. 1,000, because there is 1,000 of currency and 0 of deposits.b. 1,000, because there is now 0 of currency and 1,000 of deposits.c. 1,000 x (1/0.20) = 5,000, because 1,000 of new reserves can

support 5,000 worth of deposits.d. The total potential increase is 5,000, but 1,000 was currency

already in the system. Thus, an additional 4,000 was created by the banks.

e. 1,000 x (1/0.10) = 10,000.f. Banks can create more money from the same amount of new

reserves when reserve requirements are lower because they can lend a larger portion of each new deposit.

g. 1,000 x 1/(0.10+0.10) = 5,000.h. Yes, they are the same. With regard to deposit creation, it

doesn’t matter why banks hold reserves. It only matters how much they hold.
