Donovan's $200,000 CD matures. He deposits $20,000 into his checking account, buys a CD for $80,000, and puts $100,000 into his money-market mutual fund. How does this affect M1 and M2?

What will be an ideal response?


He cashed in a large time deposit, which was not part of M1 or M2. He put $20,000 into an M1 asset (checking account), and $180,000 in M2 assets (MMMF and small time deposit). M1 rises by $20,000. Since M1 is part of M2, M2 rises by $20,000 + $180,000 = $200,000.
