Case based Questions (Q22) 1X4=4
22. Read the extract given below and answer the questions that follow:
The use of money spans a very large part of our everyday life. Look around you and you would easily be able
to identify several transactions involving money in any single day. Can you make a list of these? In many of these
transactions, goods are being bought and sold with the use of money. In some of these transactions, services are
being exchanged with money. For some, there might not be any actual transfer of money taking place now but a
promise to pay money later. Have you ever wondered why transactions are made in money? The reason is simple. A
person holding money can easily exchange it for any commodity or service that he or she might want. Thus, everyone
prefers to receive payments in money and then exchange the money for things that they want. Take the case of a shoe
manufacturer. He wants to sell shoes in the market and buy wheat. The shoe manufacturer willfirst exchange shoes
that he has produced for money, and then exchange the money for wheat. Imagine how much more difficult it would be
if the shoe manufacturer had to directly exchange shoes for wheat without the use of money. He would have to look for
a wheat growing farmer who not only wants to sell wheat but also wants to buy the shoes in exchange. That is, both
parties have to agree to sell and buy each other’s commodities. This is known as double coincidence of wants. What a
person desires to sell is exactly what the other wishes to buy. In a barter system where goods are directly exchanged
without the use of money, double coincidence of wants is an essential feature. In contrast, in an economy where
money is in use, money by providing the crucial intermediate step eliminates the need for double coincidence of wants.
It is no longer necessary for the shoe manufacturer to look for a farmer who will buy his shoes and at the same time
sell him wheat. All he has to do is find a buyer for his shoes. Once he has exchanged his shoes for money, he can
purchase wheat or any other commodity in the market. Since money acts as an intermediate in the exchange process,
it is called a medium of exchange.

1. Why transactions are made in money?
a) Money is easy to get. b) Money is accepted as a medium of exchange.
c) Everyone has money reserves in their house. d) All of the Above.

3. How would had the shoe manufacturer directly exchanged shoes for wheat without the use of money?
a) Both parties have to agree to sell and buy each other’s commodities.
b)He compels the farmer to give him wheat on compassionate grounds.
c)He forces the farmer to take the shoes from him in exchange of wheat.
d)He approaches the bank authorities.
4. Why barter system is no longer practiced?
