Organization of the Instructor’s Manual
To help instructors cope with the increased demands for good teaching in recent years, The
Economics of Money, Banking, and Financial Markets, Twelfth Edition, includes the most
comprehensive package of supplementary materials of any money, banking, and financial
markets textbook. As part of these supplemental materials, I have designed the Instructor’s
Manual to help save you time in preparing class materials, such as class outlines, solutions to
homework problems, lecture notes, and overhead transparencies.
This Instructor’s Manual is divided into four parts. Part One discusses how to use the Instructor’s
Manual and the other textbook ancillaries to make your teaching of the money and banking
course both more effective and less time-consuming. Part Two contains an overview of all the

Answers to End-of-Chapter Problems
Part Three of the Instructor’s Manual contains the answers to end-of-chapter problems. Some of
these questions require students to look up current data, and in these cases no answers are given;
however, for the rest of the questions, the answers are quite complete.

PowerPoint Presentation
Also offered in the instructor’s supplement package is a PowerPoint Presentation that contains
lecture notes and all the textbook’s figures and tables. These slides are comprehensive and outline
all the major points covered in the text. The lecture notes have been class-tested successfully—they
are the ones that I use in class—and they should help other instructors prepare their lectures as they
have helped me.
A special feature of these PowerPoints is that all the analytic figures are completely manipulable
by the user so that instructors can custom-design their PowerPoint lectures. In addition, these
PowerPoint have step-by-step animations that can be used to spice up lectures.
