Preface To help instructors cope with the many demands of teaching, The Economics of Money, Banking, and Financial Markets, Eighth Canadian Edition, includes a comprehensive package of supplementary materials, including lecture slides and a computerized test bank. This Instructor’s Solutions Manual will help save time preparing class materials, such as class outlines, lecture notes, and solutions to homework. This manual includes four key elements: • Chapter Overviews and Teaching Tips • Answers to End of Chapter Questions and Problems • Solutions to Mini-Cases • Appendix of Alternative Course Outlines There are many different ways to teach a course on money, banking, and financial markets. For this reason, the material in The Economics of Money, Banking, and Financial Markets, Eighth Canadian Edition, has been arranged with flexibility in mind, so that many teaching styles can be accommodated. The Appendix includes sample outlines for four main approaches to teaching money, banking, and financial markets, showing how the text can be adapted to each approach, as well as to quarter and semester teaching schedules. Note, however, that many variations on these outlines are possible. We have been teaching money and banking now for over thirty years. The overviews and teaching tips in each chapter of the Instructor’s Solutions Manual are intended to share with you some of our experiences in the classroom with teaching the material in the textbook. The overview and teaching tips for each chapter provide a brief description of the contents of the chapter, discuss the novel features of the chapter, indicate what central points need to be transmitted to the student, suggest teaching tips that we have found useful in class, and provide guidance as to what material can easily be skipped in each chapter. Each chapter of the Instructor’s Solutions Manual also contains the answers to the end-of-chapter problems. Some of these questions require students to look up current data, and in these cases no answers are given; however, for the rest of the questions, the answers are quite complete. Many instructors will use the end-of-chapter questions for homework assignments, as we do. We have found it useful to hand out answers to the questions to the students as solutions sets after they have completed their assignments; they find them to be an invaluable study aid. You can prepare the solution sets for reproduction by cutting and pasting from the chapters. Note that most of the end-of-chapter questions and problems are also included in the MyLab Economics, where students will get instant feedback on the problems, as well as step-by-step tutorials for some questions. Chapters 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, 13, 16, and 18 include solutions to the mini-cases that are available to students on MyLab Economics.

Chapter 1: Why Study Money, Banking, and Financial Markets? Chapter Overview and Teaching Tips Before embarking on a study of money, banking, and financial markets, the student must be convinced that this subject is worth studying. Chapter 1 pursues this goal in two ways. First, it shows the student that money and banking is an exciting field because it focuses on economic phenomena that affect everyday life. Second, using eight figures, this chapter encourages the student to look at data that bear on the central issues in this field. An additional purpose of Chapter 1 is to provide an overview for the entire book, previewing the topics that will be covered in later chapters, and to indicate how the book will be taught. In teaching this chapter, the most important goal should be to get the student excited about the material. We have found that talking about the data presented in the figures helps achieve this goal. Furthermore, it shows the student that the subject matter of money and banking has realworld implications that the student should care about. The appendix to this chapter reviews concepts regarding the definitions of aggregate output, income, and the price level that the student already has seen in an economic principles course. Since these concepts are extremely important, it might be worthwhile to have your students read this appendix outside of class to jog their memories.
Answers to End-of-Chapter Questions and Problems ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS 1. What is the typical relationship among interest rates on three-month Treasury bills, longterm Canada bonds, and corporate bonds? The interest rate on three-month Treasury bills fluctuates more than the other interest rates and is lower on average. The interest rate on corporate bonds is higher on average than the other interest rates. 2. What effect might a fall in stock prices have on business investment? The lower price for a firm’s shares means that it can raise a smaller amount of funds, so investment in facilities and equipment will fall. 3. Explain the main difference between a bond and a common stock. A bond is a debt instrument, which entitles the owner to receive periodic amounts of money (predetermined by the characteristics of the bond) until its maturity date. A common stock, however, represents a share of ownership in the institution that has issued the stock. In
