When economists say that money is a store of value does it mean that money can be used to measure the value of other commodities?

Money has three functions, being a: 1) store of value; 2) unit of account; 3) medium of exchange. The first, a store of value, implies that money maintains and stores its value over time - unlike many other mediums of exchange, which can depreciate. Money is intended to be storeable, retrievable, and reuseable as a medium of exchange itself. Therefore, being a store of value does not mean that money can be used to measure the value of other commodities - that is its third function, medium of exchange.

It depends on the situation. Say I put $10,000 in a savings account at 2.5% a year. The expected rate of inflation is 2% so my money is gaining value. However if there's say 3% my money is losing value and the bank benefits because they're paying under the inflation rate.


What does a rate of return of negative 100 mean?

A negative rate of return means that you lost money on the account. The value of your account decreased by that rate. It's not clear how that relates to your equity, which you say increased. As far as how you lost money, I can't say without seeing yourbalance sheet.
