2 Financial Markets
1) Financial markets provide three economic functions. Which of the below is NOT one of
these?
A) The interactions of buyers and sellers in a financial market determine the price of the traded
asset.
B) Financial markets provide a mechanism for an investor to sell a financial asset.
C) Financial markets increases the cost of transacting.
D) The interactions of buyers and sellers in a financial market determine the required return on a
financial asset.
Answer: C

asset. Or, equivalently, they determine the required return on a financial asset. As the nducement
for firms to acquire funds depends on the required return that investors demand, it is this feature
of financial markets that signals how the funds in the economy should be allocated among
financial assets. This is called the price discovery process.
Second, financial markets provide a mechanism for an investor to sell a financial asset. Because
of this feature, it is said that a financial market offers liquidity, an attractive feature when
circumstances either force or motivate an investor to sell. If there were not liquidity, the owner
would be forced to hold a debt instrument until it matures and an equity instrument until the
company is either voluntarily or involuntarily liquidated.While all financial markets provide
some form of liquidity, the degree of liquidity is one of the factors that characterize different
markets.
The third economic function of a financial market is that it reduces the cost of transacting.
