1 This is Macroeconomics the In this chapter, we will examine the role of money and banks in the economy. We will look at how central banks, such as the FED (the Federal Reserve in the U.S.), regulate the money supply in our country. The Fed also regulates banks and makes sure people have faith in our financial system. Page 1

2 What is Your Mone}' Worth?-Present Value If you met someone in college and they told you that they had $100,000 and that they had invested money for only one year at 5% to earn it, how much did they start with/originally invest? Present value= $ present value (1 + the interest in decimals) to the nth power (the length in years) $l00,000 = $ (1.05) 1 ' *If you have $100 after investing your money for 3 years at 8% interest, how much did you start with? * At 12% interest for 4 years? Page 2

3 What is Your Mone}' Worth?-Future Value Would you rather have $100 today or $200 in two years? You can determine how much your money will be worth in the future. if you know the interest rate and the number of years. Future value== $ present value x (1 + the interest in decimals) to the nth power ( the length in years) 1 $100 X (1.05)== $105 1 A present value of $100 at 5% interest for one year would equal $105: $100 (1.05). 2 *At the end of a second year $100 x (1.05) 3 *At the end of a third year $100 x (1.05) 4 * At the end of a fourth year $100 x (1.05) Page 3

7 Measures of the Money Supply Economists define the money supply, M, as currency plus checking, savings, and time deposits. Currency and checking are considered assets and by themselves are reff ered to as Ml and are considered a demand deposit ( currency that you deposit into a bank account from which you can withdraw "on demand" - at any time without any advance notice to the bank; liquidity).

The Velocit)' and Quantity Theory of Money Velocity of money is an incredibly important component /part of an economy's GDP calculation. GDP cannot be controlled through the money supply alone.

11 The Velocit)' and Quantity Theory of Money Velocity of money is an incredibly important component /part of an economy's GDP calculation. GDP cannot be controlled through the money supply alone. If the money supply is increased, but velocity decreases, GDP may stay the same or even decline. Price levels will also rise because of the abundance of money. Along the same idea, the quantity theory of money states that there is a direct relationship between the quantity of money in an economy and the level of prices of goods and services sold. The theory states that the quantity of money is positively related to nominal ouput and nominal GDP. An increase in the money supply causes prices to rise (inflation). A decrease first causes disinflation (when the rate of inflation slows down) which then leads to deflation ( a declining inflation rate). Page 17

16 The Banks A commercial bank, like Chase or Bank of America, accepts deposits from individuals and makes loans. To understand how a bank functions, it is necessary to look at its balance sheet, which shows its assets, liabilities, and net worth. The table below shows a balance sheet. The different items are divided into assets and liabilities. An asset is something of value owned by a person or firm. A liability is something of value that a person or firm owes, such as a debt, to someone else. Bank Balance Sheets Assets Liabilities Loans $8,000 Demand Deposits $5,000 Reserves $500 Owner's Equity $5,000 Treasury Bonds $1,500 Total Assets $10,000 Total Liabilities $10,000 Page 25 It is ''balanced'' because the totals must equal

Demand deposits are currency that you deposit into a bank account from which you can withdraw "on demand" - at any time without any advance notice to the bank; liquidity. Owner's equity is the investment at the bank made by its owners. Because demand deposits and owner's equity can be removed from the bank at any time, they are liabilities. Finally, capital stock is the stock a company issues to obtain increased funding.
