Explanation / Answer

ANSWER:

According to chegg q and a policy only 4 parts are to be answered at a time and so i am answering first 3 parts of question 1 and 2 parts of question 2 , for rest of the answers , please ask separately.

1) a) M1 = checking account + amount in currency = $100 + $200 = $300

b) annual income = monthly income * no of months = $500 * 12 = $600

c) total wealth = amount in saving accounts + amount of illegal assets + amount in currency + amount in checking account - debt = $2,000 + $3,000 + $200 + $100 - $1,000 = $4,300

2) a) m1 will increase because checkings account is increasing and m1 includes checking account and so the m1 will increase by $500.

b) M2 will not change because M2 includes M1 and savings accounts and as money is being transfered from savings account to checking account and therefore it will lead to an increase in m1 and decrease in savings account , thereby making no change in M2.
