Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Money serves in general three important functions: a medium of exchange; a unit of account; and a store of value. As a medium of exchange, money avoids going back to a barter economy, with the enormous search costs connected with it. As a unit of account, the use of money economizes on the number of prices an individual faces. Consider an economy with N goods, then one needs only (N - 1 ) prices. As a store of value, the use of money in general ensures that you can transfer wealth between periods.
