Question to Ponder
What characteristics should money
have?
Characteristics of Money
• Durable: means that the item must be
able to withstand being used repeatedly
• A cow is fairly durable, but a long trip to market runs the
risk of sickness or death for the cow and can severely
reduce its value. Twenty-dollar bills are fairly durable and
can be easily replaced if they become worn. Even better,
a long trip to market does not threaten the health or
value of the bill.
• Portable: means that individuals are
able to carry money with them and
transfer it easily to other individuals
• While the cow is difficult to transport & to
the store, the currency can be easily put
in my pocket.
• 3. Divisible: means that the money can
easily be divided into smaller units of
value
• A 20-dollar bill can be exchanged for other
denominations, say a 10, a 5, four 1s, and
4 quarters. A cow, on the other hand, is
not very divisible.
• 4. Limited in Supply: means that
restrictions on the amount of money in
circulation ensure that values remain
relatively construct for the currency

“Economic Indicators ”
Identify the role of money in
the economy
I. Three Uses of Money
A. Medium of Exchange
1. Any object that is accepted
for goods and services
2. Barter- w/o money, goods
and services are traded for
others
B. Unit of Account- means that prices of goods and
services are quoted in a standardized manner
1. Allows us to compare similar offers for goods and services
to determine the best value
C. Store of Value
1. Money keeps its value in two forms: currency (bills and
coins) and deposits (money in financial institutions)
2. Interest- cost of borrowing money
II. Value of Money
A. Inflation- value of money goes down,
prices go up
1. Determined by the Consumer Price Index
(CPI)- change in prices of essential
goods/services
2. Deflation- value of money goes up, prices down
HUH?!?
• Suppose that an ice-cream cone that costs
you a dollar doubles in price. This price
increase causes the purchasing power of
your dollar to fall because you have to use
twice as many dollars to buy the same
item.
• This is why inflation is particularly hard on
people who have fixed incomes – people
who get pensions or other fixed amounts
of money.
• B. GDP (Gross Domestic Product) –
value of all final goods and services
produced w/in a country’s borders in a
year
GDP
10 Bicycles
@ $200 each
= $2,000
10 Computers
10 Watches
@ $1,500 each
= $15,000
@ $100 each
= $1,000
GDP = $18,000
C. Gross National Product (GNP)- goods and
services produced by Americans
Think ABOUT IT! – Even if a country produces
the same amount of goods and services from
one year to the next, the GDP could go up
simply because prices increase. That would
make it seem like the economy was growing
even though it wasn’t
D. Real GDP- adjusted for inflation
E. Per capita GDP- average per person

7.5 Business Cycle and
Government Intervention
identify the economic
indicators of the business
cycle
I. Phases in Business Cycle
A. Peak- when GDP stops rising, the height of
economic expansion
B. Contraction- an economic decline marked
by falling GDP, rising unemployment
1. Recession- prolonged contraction (6-18 months)
2. Depression- long and severe recession with high
unemployment, low output
C. Trough- economy at lowest point in economic
contraction
D. Expansion
1. Period of economic recovery and growth as
measured by rise in GDP
2. Business prosperity, falling unemployment
Let’s draw it!

into debt to buy consumer goods
2. Other Causes

making investments with borrowed
money

ended up losing all the borrowed
money and then some
• 3. Aftermath

and eventually massive

more money so they lend more to other people
2. Increasing the rate- slows down economy by
discouraging borrowing
E. Fed Policies
1. Loose-money policy- reduce rates, lower reserve
requirement, print currency= more money in
economy
2. Tight-money policy- increase rates, raise reserve
requirement= less money in the economy
