B)
 As inflation rises, the demand for money by households and businesses also rises.
C)

A)
 downward sloping to the lower right.
B)
 upward sloping to the upper right.
C)

The money supply schedule is vertical because it is not affected by changes in the interest rate but is determined by the monetary authorities such as the Federal Reserve System (Fed) in the United States.

Which of the following statements about the demand and supply of money is most accurate? People who are:

A)
 holding money when interest rates are higher will try to reduce their money balances and, as a result, the demand for money decreases.
B)
 holding money when interest rates are lower will try to increase their money balances and, as a result, the supply of money increases.
C)
 buying bonds to reduce their money balances will increase the demand for bonds with an associated increase in interest rates.


Buying bonds would drive bond prices up and interest rates down. Selling bonds would have the opposite effect; driving bond prices down and interest rates up. When interest rates are lower, there is an excess demand for money. The supply of money is determined by the monetary authorities.

Which of the following statements about the relationship between interest rates and the demand for and supply of money is most accurate? Interest rates affect:

A)
 the supply of money only.
B)
 the demand for money only.
C)
 both the demand for and supply of money.


Interest rates only affect the demand for money. With higher interest rates, the opportunity cost of holding money increases, and people hold less money and more interest-earning assets. Monetary authorities determine the supply of money. Therefore, the supply of money is independent of the interest rate.

LOS g, (Part 2): Describe the demand for money curve, including the effects of changes in real GDP and financial innovation.

In a recent economic forum meeting, Jason Federmeyer of the Bank of Detroit, and Lawrence Lobovsky of the Bank of Tulsa, were discussing the demand for money and how it has changed over the years. Federmeyer made the following two statements to Lobovsky:

Statement 1: Financial innovation has significantly affected the demand for money. The increased use of credit cards and debit cards, interest-bearing checking accounts, internet banking and even the large number of ATMs around the world have all helped to increase the demand for money above what it would have been if only the increase in real GDP were at work.

Statement 2: Although the quantity of money demanded is largely determined by interest rates, the supply of money is determined by the central bank and is independent of interest rates.

Are Statement 1 and Statement 2 as made by Federmeyer CORRECT?

Statement 1 Statement 2

A)
Incorrect Incorrect
B)
Correct Correct
C)
Incorrect Correct


Overall, financial innovation has reduced the demand for money below what it would have been if only the increase in real GDP was at work. The demand for money is determined, for the most part, by interest rates. However, the quantity of money supplied is determined by the central bank and is independent of the interest rate.
