Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other one labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): According to Keynes, an individual's aggregate demand to hold money is composed of Transaction Demand, Precautionary Demand, and Speculative Demand.
Reason (R): The Speculative Demand for money is a direct and positive function of the level of money income.
In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Assertion (A): According to Keynes, an individual's aggregate demand to hold money is composed of Transaction Demand, Precautionary Demand, and Speculative Demand.
Reason (R): The Speculative Demand for money is a direct and positive function of the level of money income. In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Show Hint
- Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
- Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
- (A) is true but (R) is false.
- (A) is false but (R) is true.
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
- {Transaction Demand: Money held for everyday purchases and payments, related to income levels.
- {Precautionary Demand: Money held for unforeseen expenses, also linked to income.
- {Speculative Demand: Money held to take advantage of future investment opportunities, influenced by interest rates.
Reason (R) is false: Speculative demand for money is primarily a function of interest rates, not income. When interest rates are low, people hold more money speculating that rates will rise (and bond prices fall), making it advantageous to hold cash. Conversely, high interest rates reduce speculative demand. While transaction and precautionary demands are positively related to income, speculative demand is not, making (R) incorrect. Since (R) does not explain (A), option (3) is correct.
Top Questions on Economics
- Unequality in India is due to:
Consider the following Harrod-Domar growth equation: \[ \frac{s}{\theta} = g + \delta \] where \( s \) is the saving rate, \( \theta \) is the capital-output ratio, \( g \) is the overall growth rate, and \( \delta \) is the capital depreciation rate. If \( \delta = 0 \) and \( s = 20% \), then to achieve \( g = 10% \), the capital-output ratio will be ________ (in integer).
Let \( Y \) be income, \( r \) be the interest rate, \( G \) be government expenditure, and \( M_s \) be money supply. Consider the following closed economy IS-LM equations with a fixed general price level (\( \bar{P} \)):
IS equation: \[ Y = 490 + 0.6Y - 4r + G \] LM equation: \[ \frac{M_s}{\bar{P}} = 20 + 0.25Y - 10r \] If \( G = 330 \) and \( \frac{M_s}{\bar{P}} = 500 \), then the equilibrium \( Y \) is ________ (round off to one decimal place).- Consider a two-person exchange economy where two goods, \( x \) and \( y \), are available in limited quantities of 50 and 100, respectively. The preferences of the two persons, Anil and Binod, are given by the utility functions: \[ U_{{Anil}}(x_{{Anil}}, y_{{Anil}}) = x_{{Anil}}^{0.4} y_{{Anil}}^{0.6} \] \[ U_{{Binod}}(x_{{Binod}}, y_{{Binod}}) = x_{{Binod}}^{0.6} y_{{Binod}}^{0.4} \] If they decide to share good \( y \) equally among themselves, the amount of good \( x \) Anil receives is ______________ (in integer).
