The liquidity means how fast an instrument can be converted into cash. The liquidity of
these measures are in order M1>M2>M3>M4 i.e. M1 is most liquid and M4 is least
liquid.
The rule of 70 is a means of estimating the number of years it takes for an investment or
your money to double. The rule of 70 is a calculation to determine how many years it'll
take for your money to double given a specified rate of return. The rule is commonly used
to compare investments with different annual compound interest rates to quickly
determine how long it would take for an investment to grow. The rule of 70 is also
referred to as doubling time.
Rule of 70 Examples
1. If a country’s GDP is growing at 5% per year, how many years will it take for its GDP
to double? *
5
7
14
28
32
2. If Maria’s retirement account is doubling roughly every 11 years, what is the
approximate growth rate? *
2.4%
4.8%
6.4%
12.2%
14.8%
3. Suppose Country A and Country B start out with the same GDP. If Country A’s GDP
begins doubling every 5 years and Country B’s GDP begins doubling every 10 years, how
much larger is Country A’s GDP after 30 years? *
2 times larger
4 times larger
6 times larger
8 times larger
Cannot be determined
The Rule of 70
For example, if you hear that the population of your town is growing by 2% per year, that
means it will double in just 35 years! (70/2=35

Fiat money or fiat currency is any money that the government declares as legal tender.
Also, this type of money is not backed by a physical commodity such as gold or silver. In
other words, fiat money has no intrinsic value. Market forces determine the value of
fiat money. E.g paper money and much coinage
The diamond-water paradox is the observation that those things that have the greatest
value in use often have little value
in exchange and those things that
have little value in use often have
the greatest value in exchange.
When an economist talks about utility, she is talking the satisfaction that results from
about the consumption of a good
A util is an artificial construct used as a means of satisfaction one receives from the
measuring the consumption of a good
Total utility is defined as the sum of the amounts of satisfaction
a person receives from consuming
a good
Marginal utility is defined as the change in total utility a person
derives from the consumption of a
good divided by the change in the
quantity of the good consumed
Suppose Will receives 150 utils from consuming one 100 utils
banana and 250 utils from consuming two bananas.
What is the marginal utility of the second banana?
Suppose you are eating slices of pizza and after your total utility is 25 utils, and
consuming the first slice you receive 14 utils of total the marginal utility of the third
utility, after the second you receive 22 utils of total slice is 3 utils
utility, and after the third 25 utils of total utility.
Then
Suppose you are eating buffalo wings at a local diminishing; assumed
happy hour. The total utils from doing so after the
fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh wings are 30, 50, 65,
72, respectively. In this situation we have
__________ marginal utility, which is generally
__________ in the analysis of consumer choice.
The law of diminishing marginal utility can be stated B). As the amount of a good
as follows consumed increases, the
additional satisfaction gained
from consuming additional units
tends to decrease
and
D). As the amount of a good
consumed increases, the sum of
satisfaction received tends to
increase but at a diminishing rate
Suppose you just finished your third plateful of No way. You could get negative
Thanksgiving dinner and it yielded zero units of utility from the fourth plateful
additional satisfaction. Should you go back for
more?
Suppose the marginal utility (MU) of paperback No. You need to buy more books
books is 40 utils and each costs $5 while the MU of and rent fewer DVDs
DVD rentals is 20 utils and each rents for $4. If you
consume one movie and one book per week, are you
attaining consumer equilibrium?
Suppose for a consumer the marginal utility (MU) of more utility per dollar is gained
bread is 20 utils and the MU of milk is 10 utils; the from consuming milk than bread
price of bread is $3 and the price of milk is $1.
Given this,
If a person is receiving greater marginal utility per not maximizing utility
dollar from consuming one good than another, it
follows that he or she is
In order for an individual to achieve consumer MUA/PA = MUB/PB
equilibrium through the consumption of two goods,
A and B, that individual must fulfill the condition
A consumer is in equilibrium if he or she derives the marginal utility per dollar spent
same on each good consumed
Suppose a consumer is purchasing Coke and pretzels increase; decrease; increase
in quantities such that she is achieving consumer
equilibrium. Then the price of Coke decreases. The
consumer will likely __________ her consumption
of Coke and the marginal utility of Coke will
__________ while the total utility from Coke will
__________.
Joe is currently in consumer equilibrium by decrease; increase; increase;
consuming cheese and crackers, such that the last decrease
cracker consumed yielded 8 utils and the last piece
of cheese consumed yielded 12 utils. Assume the
price of crackers is two cents per cracker and the
price of cheese is three cents per piece. If the price
of crackers increases to four cents, Joe should
__________ his consumption of crackers and his
marginal utility from crackers will __________ and
also __________ his consumption of cheese and his
marginal utility from cheese will __________.
