Explain what impact each of the following actions has on both M1 and M2.
(a) Mary deposits $300 in cash into her Savings Account.
(b) Sam transfers $400 from his Savings Account into his Checking Account.
(c) Chen takes $60 out of his Checking Account and buys a new pair of shoes.
(d) Pak borrows $1,000 in cash from his bank in order to buy a new computer for his business.
Cash is a part of currency and M1 as well as M2. Saving account is a part of M2 only. This transaction will reduce M1 but will not change M2 which experiences a decline as well as an increase of $300.
a transfer of $400 from savings account to checking account will increase M1 but will not change M2 because $400 will be decreased from M2 and then later on added to M2.
$60 will be subtracted from both M1 and M2.
Increase in the loan amount of $1,000 will increase both M1 and M2.
