8. The Money Supply
Time Deposits
Demand Total
Currency + = Total + & Money =
Deposits M1 Market Accts. M2 *SA
*SA = Seasonally Adjusted

9. The money supply could be explained as follows
 Liquidity is how fast something can be turned into cash. Students
may recall this concept from Chapter 18.
 Currency includes all coins and paper money spent to purchase goods
and services. To the surprise of many, currency is a small portion of
the money supply (only about 20-25%). Traveler’s checks, money
orders, and cashier’s checks are all considered currency.
 Demand deposits are the other part of M1. These are deposits held
at banks that depositors can write checks on for immediate payments.
No specific notice has to be provided to the banks. Checks are used in
about 70% of the transactions in the U.S. but numbers are decreasing
as more consumers begin to use online services and automatic
payment options.
 Total M1 includes the currency and demand deposits of the money
supply.
 Total M2 includes time deposits and money market accounts (funds of
short term, low risk fin securities purchased with the assets of investor
owners, pooled by a non-bank institution) plus the total currency and
demand deposits from M1. Students should be aware that time
deposits are generally referred to as savings accounts.
