1. a) Read and translate the text in a written form:

ASSETS

A bank uses the funds that it has acquired by issuing liabilities to purchase income-earning assets. Bank assets are thus naturally referred to as uses of funds, and the interest payments earned on them are what enable banks to make profits.

Reserves. All banks hold some of the funds they acquire as deposits in an account at the Fed. Reserves are these deposits plus currency that is physically held by banks (called vault cash because it is stored in bank vaults overnight).

Although reserves currently do not pay any interest, banks hold them for two reasons. First, some reserves, called required reserves, are held because, by law, the Fed requires that for every dollar of checkable deposits at a bank, a certain fraction (10 cents, for example) must be kept as reserves. This fraction (10% in the example) is called the required reserve ratio. Second, additional reserves, called excess reserves, are held because they are the most liquid of all bank assets and can be used by a bank to meet its obligations when funds are withdrawn, either directly by a depositor or indirectly when a cheque is written on an account.

b) Answer the following questions:

1. What are bank assets referred to?

2. What is called “reserves”?

3. For what reasons do banks hold reserves?

6. Я здивований, що Моріс безробітний. Він, напевно, ніколи не шукав роботу. Він молодий і його кваліфікація користується великим попитом.

WHAT IS ECONOMICS?

Economics is a social science, like history, geography, politics, psychology and sociology and sociology. It studies the most important aspects of our life linked with production, distribution, exchange and consumption of welfare.

The principles of economics lay the foundations for the way we transact business. It explains why things are produced and how supply is matched with demand. It explains why we pay a certain price for one good and another price for another good.

The principles of economics underpin all commercial transactions. Economics as a science consists of two disciplines that is of macroeconomics and microeconomics.

Macroeconomics is the study of “global” or collective decisions by individual households or producers. It looks at a national or international economy as a whole – e.g. total output, income and expenditure, unemployment, inflation, interest rates and balance of international trade etc., and what economic policies a government can pursue to influence the condition of a national economy. In macroeconomics we examine forest not the trees.

Microeconomics deals with analysis of specific economic factors and detail study of their behaviour. It studies individual producers, consumers or markets. Microeconomics also studies how government activities such as regulations and taxes affect individual markets. Besides microeconomics tries to understand what factors affect the prices, wages and earnings.

In studying economics it is important to distinguish two branches of the subject. The aim of positive economics is to explain how society makes decisions about consumption, production, and exchange of goods.

Normative economics offers prescriptions or recommendations based on personal value judgements.
