An increase in the national income will…
a. shift the money demand curve to the left.
b. increase the demand for passive balances.
c. shift the demand curve for passive balances to the right.
d. shift the demand curve for active balances to the right.
Refer to section 14.6 and table 14-1. The demand for money is not a function for the interest rate level only, but also of the national income
level. When national income increases, people and firms will increase their money demand for a transactional purpose. As a result, the
demand for active money balances increases and shifts the curve to the right.
The correct answer is: shift the demand curve for active balances to the right.

item.
The correct answer is: ad valorem
