The supply of money in the economy.

Answer to Problem 1CQQ
Option 'c' is the correct answer.
Explanation of Solution
Any commodity or item that a community accepts as payment for the goods and services is known as money. It can be any commodity that the consumer gives in exchange for goods and services. The banks are financial institutions that play an important role in a financial market.
Option (c):
The use of the lines of credit which are accessible with credit card cannot be considered as money supply because it is a debt instrument and there is no supply of money. Therefore, the lines of credit accessed through credit card are not included in the money supply. Thus, option 'c' is correct.
Option (a):
The metal coins are a form of money that is used by an economy for the purpose of the exchange of goods and services. They are accepted as payment for the goods and services. Hence, they are included in the money supply. Thus, option 'a' is incorrect.
Option (b):
Paper currency is a widely accepted form of money all over the world. Hence, it is included in the money supply of the economy. Thus, option 'b' is incorrect.
Option (d):
Bank balances that are accessible with debit cards are the savings of the customers and they are included in the money supply of the economy. When the bank balance increases, the money supply increases, and vice versa. Thus, option 'd' is incorrect.
Concept introduction:
Money: Money is any item that is accepted as payment for the goods and services provided by an economy.
Banks: Banks are financial institutions that accept deposits of money from the general public and use it to provide loans to the public.

- Experiments Research suggests that if students use laptops in class, it can have some effect on student achievement. While laptop usage can help students take lecture notes faster, some argue that the laptops may be a source of distraction for the students. Suppose you are interested in looking at the effect of using laptops in class on the students' final exam scores out of 100. You decide to conduct a randomized control trial where you randomly assign some students at UIC to use a laptop in class and other to not use a laptop in class. (Assume that the classes are in person and not online) a. Which people are a part of the treatment group and which people are a part of the control group? (10 points) b. What regression will you run? Define the variables where required. (10 points)arrow_forwardExperiments Research suggests that if students use laptops in class, it can have some effect on student achievement.

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of an in-kind subsidy versus a cash grant. Use a graphical illustration to support your arguments. [15] 18. Redistributive expenditure can take the form of direct cash transfers (grants) and/or in-kind subsidies. With references to the graphs below, discuss the merits of these two transfer types in the presence and absence of a positive externality. [14] 19.
