Debt to Friday $500
Robinson

10. Section: 1.3 The Financial System
Learning objective: 1.3
Level of Difficulty: Intermediate
Solution: In the financial system, there are mainly four major sectors: Households, Government,
Business, and Non-Residents. Within the field of finance there are four major areas: personal
finance, government finance, corporate finance, and international finance. They closely
interrelate to each other. Because they are all major parts of the whole financial system, what
happens in one market will affect all the other markets.

take in premiums and pay out when a certain event occurs. Mutual funds pool small funds
together and make investments that small investors cannot make. Mutual funds also offer
investment expertise to ordinary investors.

12. Section: 1.3 The Financial System
Learning objective: 1.3
Level of Difficulty: Intermediate
Solution: Five main reasons why financial and market intermediaries exist are:
i) They provide anonymousness and convenience to all transaction parties.
ii) They efficiently match the needs of the participants in the financial market and aggregate all
the small transactions.
iii) They have procedures for documentation of legal contracts to ensure security.
iv) The risk of non-payment is alleviated by maintaining credit ratings and by controlling other
accounts.
v) Financial institutions transform the nature of the underlying financial securities.

13. Section: 1.3 The Financial System
Learning objective: 1.3
Level of Difficulty: Intermediate
Solution: A “credit crunch” refers to a situation when financial intermediaries such as banks and
other lenders are either unable or unwilling, in general, to offer credit to borrowers. The crunch
usually arises due to a lack of confidence, leading people and other institutions to be unwilling to
lend to the financial intermediary. If very few people are willing to lend to the financial
intermediary, then they, in turn, will not have the funds available to lend out and the “crunch”
begins.

14. Section: 1.4 Financial Instruments and Markets
Learning objective: 1.4
Level of Difficulty: Intermediate
Solution: There are two major types of secondary markets are exchanges or auction markets and
dealer or over-the-counter (OTC) markets. Exchanges have been referred to as auction markets
because they involve a bidding process that takes place in a specific location (i.e., similar to an
auction). OTC or dealer markets do not have a physical location, but rather consist of a network
of dealers who trade directly with one another.

Challenging
15. Section: 1.4 Financial Instruments and Markets
Learning objective: 1.4
Level of Difficulty: Challenging
Solution: Secondary market transactions are those where ownership of existing shares changes
hands, but the corporations or governments who originally issued the securities receive no
financing; trading takes place between investors. This is critical to the functioning of the primary
markets, because governments and companies would not be able to raise financing if investors
were unable to sell their investments if necessary.
