Financial Institutions
• a FINANCIAL INSTITUTION is an establishment dedicated to helping individuals and businesses to manage money
• the most common form of FINANCIAL INSTITUTION is a BANK
Custody of Funds
• BANKS offer a safe, secure place to keep your money
• Most people DEPOSIT (place in the custody) their paychecks in banks
• Keeping your money in the bank prevents robbery and also reduces the temptation to spend your money
Loaning Money
• One way banks make money is by issuing LOANS (they let people borrow money)
• Loans are amounts of money lent that are paid back with INTEREST (a charge for borrowing money)
Exchanging Currency
• Banks keep all DENOMINATIONS (sizes) of money on hand
• Denominations include bills and coins
• banks will exchange money for you
• banks will also exchange US currency for foreign currency
Issuing Money• banks also issue money—usually when
people cash checks
• a CHECK is a promise of money from one person/organization to another
• when a check is brought to a bank, the teller checks to see if the writer’s account can cover the amount
• checks eliminate the hassle of carrying large amounts of cash
Extending Credit
• CREDIT is an amount of money a person is allowed to spend, provided they pay it back in a timely manner
• Credit can be given in the form of a loan, on CREDIT CARDS, or on a “tab”
• CREDIT CARDS authorize the holder to spend a certain amount of money and repay it with INTEREST

Free Enterprise and Profit
• the US economic system is based on FREE ENTERPRISE (private businesses are free to organize and operate for profit in competition with other businesses without strict government control)
• the only government control is to protect the public interests
Profit
• In a free enterprise system, businesses seek to earn a PROFIT (the difference between the cost to produce the product or provide the service and the REVENUES)
• REVENUE is the full amount of money received
Loss
• In some cases a business is not able to sell its product/service for a PROFIT.
• If the product/service is sold for less than the production cost, then the business takes a LOSS
• The goal in a free enterprise system is to maximize PROFITS and minimize LOSSES
Marketing
• when businesses compete in a free enterprise system, they sell the same or similar products/services to the same MARKET, or group of people to whom the product/service is readily available for purchase
• the goal is to get your target MARKET to buy from you and not your competition
Market Competition
• the most common way businesses compete is through pricing. The goal is to under price your competition, but still make a profit
• Businesses also compete through service quality—they will also offer WARRANTIES (guarantees) on their products.
