Answer:

A

  • M1 change = $500
  • M2 change = $0

B

  • M1 change = -$340
  • M2 change = -$180

Explanation:

A. M1 includes actual liquid cash in hand as well as cash in checking deposits.

M2 includes M1 as well as savings deposits and time deposits amongst others.

M1 change = +$500

$500 went from the Savings account which was not part of M1 to M1.

M2 change = $0

The money went from Savings to Checking which are both part of M2.

B.

M1 change = -$-180 - ( 500 - 180 -160 ) = -$340

Tax of $180 went out of the supply as tax. Jane deposits the remaining cash after paying $160 for goods into the savings account which is not part of M1. That remaining cash is = 500 - 180 - 160 = $160.

M2 change = -500 + 160 + 160 = -$180

For M2, only taxes will reduce money from it because the rest goes to checking deposits and savings accounts both of which are part of M2
