Explanation / Answer

M1 includes currency in circulation, demand deposits (checking accounts), and traveler’s checks. $500 + $380 + $15 = $895 billion.

M2 includes M1, money market accounts, savings, and short-term time deposits. Since time deposits doesn’t indicate a time here, we can assume they mean short-term. $895 + $550 + $800 + $1110 = $3355 billion.
