Fred Jones withdraws $1,000 in cash from his savings account. What immediate effect does this transaction have on the monetary aggregate measures of M1 and M2?(A) M1 Increases, M2 decreases(B) M1 Increases, M2 no change(C) M1 Decreases, M2 no change(D) M1 no change, M2 decreases(E) M1 no change, M2 no change
How are M1 and M2 equations related to reserve market (interbank)? Let’s say, central bank applies “passive policy”
thru “rule”. How does this situation affect this relationship?
