Which of the following statements is most accurate with respect to the measures of the money supply?

A)
Checking account deposits owned by firms and government are included in M1, but those of individuals are not.

B)
M2 includes M1 plus time deposits, savings deposits, and money market mutual fund balances.

C)
When a firm writes a check to an individual, the M1 measure is increased.

The statement that M2 includes M1 plus time deposits, savings deposits, and money market mutual fund balances is correct. Writing a check does not increase the money supply, it merely transfers funds from one party to another. Likewise, using a credit card does not increase the money supply. Checking balances owned by individuals and firms are included in M1, but those of government are not.
