6) Other Functions
Money Supply
E.g: A bank lends Rs.5 lakh to an individual and opens a demand deposit in the name of that individual.
1. Bank makes a credit entry of 25 lakh in that account.
2. This leads to creation of demand deposits in that account.
3. Thus, without printing additional money, the supply of money is increased.
Credit Creation
1. It means the multiplication of loans and advances
2. Banks receive deposits from the public and use these deposits to give loans.
3. However, loans offered are many times more than the deposits received by banks.
Collection of Statistics
1. Banks collect and publish statistics relating to trade, commerce and industry and advice customers and public authorities on financial matters.

Boom or Prosperity:
1. The employment and the movement of the economy beyond full employment is the characterized features of boom.
2. There is hectic activity, money wages rise, profits increase, interest rates go up, demand for bank credit increases.
3. There is all round optimism.
Recession:
1. The turning point from boom condition is recession.
2. Failure of a company or bank brings a phase of recession.
3. Investments are drastically reduced, production falls, income and profits decline.

Recovery:
1. After depression, recovery sets in the upswing.
2. It begins with the revival of demand for capital goods.
3. The demand slowly picks up and in due course there is more production, profit, income, wages and employment.
4. Recovery may be initiated by innovation or investment or by government.

Causes:
Increase in Money Supply:
1. Increase in money supply leads to increase in aggregate demand.
2. The higher the growth rate of nominal money supply, the higher is the rate of inflation.
Increase in Disposable Income:
1. When disposable income increases, it raises their demand for goods and services.
2. Disposable income may increase with the rise in national income or reduction in taxes or saving of the people.
Increase in Public Expenditure:
1. Government activities have been expanding due to developmental activities and social welfare programmes.
2. This is also a cause for price rise.
Increase in Consumer Spending:
1. The demand for goods and services increases when they are given credit to buy goods on hire-purchase and instalment basis.
Cheap Monetary Policy:
1. Cheap monetary policy leads to increase in the money supply which raises demand for goods and services.
Deficit Financing:
1. To meet the expenses, government resorts to deficit financing by borrowing from the public and even by printing more notes.
2. This raises aggregate demand leading to inflation.
Black Assets, Activities and Money:
1. It leads to corruption, tax evasion.
2. People spend black money lavishly.
3. Black marketing and hoarding reduces the supply of goods and increases.
Repayment of Public Debt:
1. Whenever government repays its past internal debt to the public, money supply increases.
Increase in Exports:
1. When exports are encouraged, domestic supply of goods decline, prices rise.
Effects:
On Production:
1. When inflation is very moderate it is an incentive to traders and producers.
2. When profit increases the business men increase their investments in production leading to more employment and income.
3. Hyper inflation leads to depreciation of the value of money and discourages savings.
4. It may even drain out the foreign capital already invested in the country.
5. The reduced capital accumulation, discourage entrepreneurs and business men from taking business risk.
6. Inflation also leads to hoarding of essential goods by traders and consumers leading to still higher inflation rate.
7. Encourages investment in speculative activities rather than productive purposes.
On Distribution:
Debtors and Creditors:
1. During inflation debtors are the gainers.
2. Debtors had borrowed when the purchasing power of money was high and now repay the loans when the purchasing power of money is low due to rising prices.
Fixed-income Groups:
1. They are worst hit because their incomes being fixed has no relationship with the rising cost of living.
Entrepreneurs:
1. Inflation is a boon to manufacturers, traders, merchants, businessmen, because it serves as a tonic for business enterprise.
2. They get windfall gains as the prices of their stocks suddenly go up.
Investors:
1. Those who invest in fixed interest yielding bonds and securities lose during inflation.
2. Those who invest in shares stand to gain by rich dividends and appreciation in value of shares.

(i) Primary Functions:
Medium of exchange:
(i) Money has general acceptability and all exchanges take place in terms of money.
(ii) First, money is got through sale of goods or services.
(iii) Later, money is used to buy goods and services.
(iv) Thus, in the modern exchange system money acts as the intermediary in sales and purchases.
Measure of value
(i) Money measures the value of goods and services.
(ii) Prices of all goods and services are expressed in terms of money.
(iii) Since all the values are expressed in terms of money, it is easier to determine the rate of exchange between various types of goods in the community.
(ii) Secondary Functions:
Store of value:
(i) Savings is done in terms of money.
(ii) Money is a store of wealth, as it can be easily converted into other marketable assets such as land, machinery, plant.
Standard of Deferred Payments:
(i) Borrowing and lending is done in money.
Means of Transferring Purchasing Power:
(i) The field of exchange went on extending with growing economic development.
(ii) The exchange of goods is now. extended to distant lands.
(iii)  So it is necessary to transfer purchasing power from one place to another.
(iii) Contingent Functions:
Basis of the Credit System:
(i) Business transactions are either in cash or on credit.
(ii) A depositor uses cheques only when there are sufficient funds in his account.
(iii) The commercial banks create credit on the basis of adequate cash reserves.
(iv) Money is at the back of all credit.
Money facilitates distribution of National Income:
(i) Money is used in the distribution of income as rent, wage, interest and profit.
Equalize Marginal Utilities and Marginal Productivities:
(i) Consumer gets maximum utility only if he incurs expenditure on various commodities in such a  manner as to equalize marginal utilities accruing from them.
(ii) Here, money plays an important role, because the prices of all commodities are expressed in money.
(iii) Money helps to equalize marginal productivities of various factors of production.
Increases Productivity of Capital:
(i) Money is the most liquid form of capital.
(ii) It can be put to any use.
(iii) So it can be transferred from the less productive to the more productive uses.
(iv) Other Functions:
Maintains Repayment Capacity:
(i) Money has general acceptability.
(ii) To maintain its repayment capacity, every firm has to keep assets in the form of money.
(iii) Firms, banks, insurance companies and governments have to keep some liquid money (i.e., cash) to maintain their repayment capacity.
Represents Generalized
Purchasing Power:
(i) Purchasing power kept in terms of money can be put to any use.
Gives liquidity to Capital:
(i) Money is the most liquid form of capital & so can be put to any use.

S. No	Marginal Efficiency of Captial (MEC)	Marginal Efficiency of Investment (MEI)
1.	It is based on given supply price for capital.	It is based on the induced change in the price due to change in the demand for capital.
2.	It represents the rate of return on all successive unit of capital without regard to existing capital.	It shows the rate of return on just those units of capital over and above the existing capital stock
3.	The capital stock is taken on the X axis of diagram.	The amount of investment is taken on the X axis of diagram.
4.	It is a 'Stock' concept.	It is a 'Flow' concept.
5.	It determines the optimum capital stock in an economy at each level of interest rate.	It determines the net investment of the economy at each interest rate given the capital stock.

Introduction
A systematic development of the simple accelerator model was made by J.M.Clark, It was further developed by Hicks, Samuelson and Harrod.
Definition
Accelerator coefficient is the ratio between induced investment and an initial change in consumption \(\beta=\frac{\Delta \mathrm{I}}{\Delta \mathrm{C}}\)
Operation
Suppose that in order to produce 1000 consumer goods, 100 machines are needed. Working life of a machine is 10 yrs i.e, every year 10 machines have to be replaced. This is called replacement demand
(i) Suppose that demand for consumer goods rises by 10 % (i.e, from 1000 to 1100)
(ii) This results in increase in demand for 10 more machines
(iii) The total demand for machines is 20 i.e, 10 % increase in demand for consumer goods causes 100 % increase in demand for machine (from 10 to 20 )

Explanation
 (i) SS is the saving curve.
(ii) II is the investment curve.
(iii) At point E₁ the economy is in equilibrium with OY₁ income.
(iv) S and I are equal at O₂.
(v) Now I increased from OI₂ to OI₄.
(vi) This increases income from OY₁ to OY₃ at E₂ equilibrium.
(vii) If the increase in investment by I₂I₄ is purely exogenous, then the increase in income by Y₁Y₃ would be due to multiplier.
(viii) But in this diagram it is assumed that exogenous investment is only by I₂I₃ and induced investment is by I₃I₄.
(ix) Therefore, the increase in income by Y₁Y₂ is due to the multiplier effect and the increase in income by Y₂Y₃ is due to the accelerator effect.

Law
According to Keynes, "men are disposed as a rule and on the average to increase their consumption as their income increases but not by as much as the increáse in their income".
Propositions
1. When income increases, consumption expenditure also increases, but by a smaller amount
(a) When income increases from 120 to 180; consumption also increases from 120 to 170 but the increase in consumption is less than the increase in income, 10 is saved.
2. The increased income will be divided in some proportion between consumption expenditure and saving
(a) When income increases to 180 and 240, it is divided between consumption (170 and 220) and saving (10 and 20)
3. Incrcascs in income always lead to in incrcase in both consumption and saving
(a) Increases in income to 180) and 240; lead to increased consumption 170 and 220; increased saving 10 and 20.
(b) It is clear from the widening area below the C curve and the saving gap between 45^o line and C curve.
