When a check clears, money created by the Federal Reserve System is transferred from one bank to another, unless both parties have accounts at the same bank. This fact explains why the M1 money supply can't exceed the amount of money created by the Federal Reserve System. the money supply would be larger if there was only one commercial bank. the Fed has a good deal of control over the U.S. money supply, even though most of the money is created by private banks. the Fed's check-clearing activities may contribute to inflation.

Although 23 states barred the self-service sale of gasoline in 1968, most removed the bans by the mid-1970s. By 1992, self-service outlets sold nearly 80% of all US gas, and only New Jersey and Oregon continued to ban self- service sales. Using predictive value for self-service sales for New Jersey and Oregon Johnson and Romeo (2000) estimate that the ban in those two states raised the price by approximately $.03-$.05 per gallon. Why did the ban effect the price? Illustrate using a figure and explain. Show the welfare effects in your figure. Use a table to show who gains or loses.
A regional automobile dealership sent out fliers to perspective customers indicating that they had already won one of the three different prizes: automobile valued at $25,000, a $100 gas card, or a $5 Walmart shopping card. To claim his or her prize, a prospective customer needed to present the flier at the dealership’s showroom. The fine print on the back of the flier listed the probabilities of winning. The chance of winning the car was 1 out of 31,748, the chance of winning the gas card was 1 out of 31,748, and the chance of winning the shopping card was 31,746 out of 31,748.How many fliers the automobile dealership sent out? Please explain. Using your answer to above and the probabilities listed on the flyer, what is the expected value ofthe price won by a prospective customer receiving a flyer? Demonstrate all necessary steps. Using your answer to the first question and the probabilities listed on the flyer what is the standarddeviation of the value of the price one by the…
