How has introduction of money separated the acts of sale and purchase ? |
| Answer» Solution :Under barter system, it was difficult for the owner of a cow to exchange it for a BULLOCK cart as the act of sale and purchase (i.e, exchange ) were to happen at the same point of time . MONEY, as a medium of exchange, has solved ths problem as it has SEPARATED the acts of sale and purchase. How? The owner of cow can now simply shell his cow to the person who offers him the highest payment (price) for it an with this moneyhe can buy bullock cart from a person who offers him the best bargain. Money by itself has no utility but its use facilitates exchange. Thus, money has separated sale and purchase of a good ( and service) and reduced time and ENERGY spent in barter. | |
