Section 5: The Financial Sector
REVIEW
Saving-Investment Identity
(Remember: One persons spending is another person’s income)
Closed Economy = no government & no interaction with other
countries.
• Total income = Total spending
People have two chooses: Spend or Save
• Total income = Consumer spending + Savings
Spending consists of either: consumer spending or investment
spending
• Total spending = Consumer spending + Investment spending
Putting these together:
• Consumer spending + Savings = Consumer spending + Investment
spending
Subtract consumer spending from both sides:
• Savings = Investment spending
(*Taxes is a component of spending)
Functions of Money
Medium of Exchange: a asset that individuals acquire for the purpose
of trading for goods and services rather than for their own
consumption
• Your employer exchanges dollars for an hour of your labor.
• You exchange those dollars for a grocer’s pound of apples.
Unit of Account: a measure used to set prices and make economic
calculations Units of currency (dollars, euro, yen, etc.) measure the
relative worth of goods and services
• The value of a pound of cheese in a barter economy is measured
in dozen eggs, or a half pound of sausage, etc.
Store of Value – an asset that is a means of holding purchasing power
• So long as prices are not rapidly increasing, money is a decent
way to store value.
T-Accounts Review
• Asset – Anything owned by the bank or owed to the
bank (Cash on reserve and loans made to citizens)
• Liability – Anything owned by depositors and lenders
to the bank. (Checking deposits of citizens or loans
made to the bank)
• Reserve Ratio (rr) = cash reserves/total deposits
• Money Multiplier = 1/rr
Chart all the following examples:
• Situation 1: Katie takes $1,000 from under
her mattress, deposits it at ECB, and opens a
checking account. ECB must put 10% in
required reserves, but the remaining amount
are excess reserves and can be either kept on
reserve or lent.

spends the entire amount at Furniture Factory, which also banks with
ECB, increasing checking deposits by the entire amount.

Supply of Money
• M1 = cash + coins + checking deposits + traveler’s
checks
• M2 = M1 + savings deposits + small time deposits
(CD ‘s --under $100,000) + money market
deposits + money market mutual funds
• M3 = M2 + large time deposits (CD’s -- over
$100,000)
Practice
• Example 1: What happens when a waitress
deposits her cash tips into her savings
account?
M1 decreases (Cash is already a category of
M2 & M3. So, only M1 is affected, the
money was taken from M1 and shifted into
M2.)
Practice
• Example 2: Suppose you find a $50 bill you
put in a coat pocket last winter. What effect
will it have on the M’s, if you deposit it in your
checking account?
There is no change to any of the M’s.
(Cash was already calculated into M1, so it
was just transferred from one category of
M1 to another category of M1.)
Defining Present Value
• Let:
FV = future value of $
PV = present value of $
r = real interest rate
n = # of years
• The Simple Interest Formula
FV = PV( 1 + r )n
PV = FV / (1 + r)n
Practice
1Example: You are going to lend your friend $100 at
10 percent interest.
Calculate what the repayment would be for one
year: $100 + $100*.10 = $100*(1+.10)
• What if you were going to lend your friend the
money for two years?
$100(1.10)*(1.10) = $121
• If I put my $10,000 in an alternative investment
earning 8%:
FV = 10,000*(1.08)10 = $21,589.25
• What is the $20,000 in 10 years worth today?
PV = 20,000/(1.08)10 = $9263.87
What would you have to invest in order to make $20,000 at the
listed year at each rate of interest?
PV = FV/(1+r)ᶰ (round to the nearest penny)

Expansionary Monetary Policy
• Designed to fix a recession and increase AD,
lower the unemployment rate and increase
real GDP.
– By increasing the money supply, the interest rate
is ↓ (Money Market model)
– A lower rate of interest ↑both private C & I
– Shifts AD (R) (AD-AS model)

Contractionary Monetary Policy
• Opposite effect of expansionary
• Designed to avoid inflation by decreasing AD,
which lowers the PL and decreases GDP back
to full employment level
– By decreasing the money supply, the interest rate
↑(Money Market model)
– A higher rate of interest ↓ private C & I

Deep recessionary gap → expansionary monetary
policy could be used to assist expansionary fiscal
policy to quickly move to full employment.
RISK = a burst of inflation
Mild recessionary gap → contractionary monetary
policy could be used to offset expansionary fiscal
policy to gradually move to full employment.
RISK = rising interest rates
Inflationary gap → contractionary monetary policy
could be used to assist contractionary fiscal
policy to put downward pressure on the PL.

Practice Graphing:
1. The following figure illustrates the
relationship between the nominal quantity of
money, M, and the interest rate, r.

For each of the following situations, use the previous graph
for reference.
a. Holding everything else constant, the interest rate
increases from r1 to r2. Graph this in the following
figure.

b. Holding everything else constant, the level of aggregate real
income decreases. Graph this in the following figure.

Money
As the level of aggregate real income decreases, this
causes the money demand to curve to shift (L) as
individuals demand less money at every interest rate.
c. Holding everything else constant, there is an increase in the
aggregate price level. Graph this in the following figure.
Interest
Rate

Money
An increase in the aggregate price level causes the money
demand curve to shift (R), as individuals demand more
money at every interest rate to facilitate making their
transactions at the new higher price levels.
d. Holding everything else constant, individuals in a
community are now able to use Internet banking for their
money and financial assets accounts. Graph this
in
the following figure.
Interest
Rate
MD1
MD
Money
With new technology for managing money and financial
assets, people will decrease their demand for money at
every interest rate. This will cause money demand to shift
(L).
2. Use the following figure of the nominal money
demand and money supply curves to answer this
question. Assume this market is initially in
equilibrium with the nominal quantity of money
equal to “M” and the interest rate equal to “r”.

Use the AS-AD model to answer the following questions.
Scenario 1: The economy of Macroland is initially in long-run
equilibrium. Then the FOMC of Macroland decides to reduce interest
rates through an open-market operation. (Expansionary Policy)
a. Draw a graph
representing the initial
situation in Macroland.
In your graph, be sure to
include the short-run
aggregate supply curve
(SRAS), the long-run
aggregate supply curve
(LRAS), and the
aggregate demand curve
(AD), on your graph
mark the equilibrium
aggregate price level and
the aggregate output
level as well as potential
output.

Scenario 2: Econoland is currently operating with a
recessionary gap.
e. Draw a graph
representing
Econoland’s economic
situation using AS-AD
model. Be sure to
indicate in your graph:

g. Is there a potential drawback to the implementation of
this particular monetary policy? Explain.
• If the FOMC engages
in activist monetary
policy, this will cause
the aggregate PL to
↑. Alternatively,
policymakers could
do nothing and wait
for the SRAS to shift
(R) as nominal wages
fall. In the Long-run,
aggregate output
would return to Y,
and the PL would fall

i. What monetary policy would you suggest the FOMC
of Upland pursue if its only goal is to restore
production in Upland to the potential output level?
Explain how this monetary policy would achieve this
goal.
The FOMC should ↓ money supply = ↑r through
OMO sales of T-bills. Causing AD shift (L) ;
restoring the economy to potential output level at
a ↓PL than p1 to p2
j. Is there a potential drawback to the implementation
of this particular monetary policy? Explain your
answer.
No, this policy restores the economy to its
long-run position without raising the PL
4. Suppose that when the FOMC reduces the
interest rate by 1 percentage point it increases
the level of investment spending by $500 million
in Macroland. If the marginal propensity to save
equals .25, what will be the total rise in real GDP,
assuming the aggregate price level is held
constant? Explain your answer.
Causes real GDP to increase due to the
multiplier process 1/(1-MPC) or 1/MPS
1/.25 = 4
4 x $500 million = $2 billion
