Role of Financial Markets and Institutions
Questions
1. Explain the meaning of surplus units and deficit units. Provide an example of each.
ANSWER: Surplus units provide funds to the financial markets while deficit units obtain funds from the financial markets. Surplus units include households with savings, while deficit units include firms or government agencies that borrow funds.
2. Distinguish between primary and secondary markets.

3. Distinguish between money and capital markets.
ANSWER: Money markets facilitate the trading of short-term (money market) instruments while capital markets facilitate the trading of long-term (capital market) instruments.
4. Distinguish between perfect and imperfect security markets.
ANSWER: With perfect financial markets, all information about any securities for sale would be freely available to investors, information about surplus and deficit units would be freely available, and all securities could be unbundled into any size desired.
