Which one of the following statements concerning the division of labour and money is correct?
An increase in the division of labour reduces the necessity for a medium of exchange.
Money acts as a medium of exchange, which overcomes the inefficiencies of barter and enables greater specialisation.
Specialisation cannot exist in any economy without the formal intervention of a central bank printing currency.
The division of labour is only beneficial to producers when money performs its function as a store of value.
