Terp Bank obtains a relatively large portion of its funds from conventional demand deposits as it creates many branches with many employees to attract demand deposits. Its interest expenses should be relatively low while its noninterest; expenses should be relatively high.
Option B
<u>Explanation:</u>
A withdrawal deposit is a banking or any other financial institution balance whereby the depositor may, without any notice or notification, remove the deposited funds from those in the account within seven days.
An example of demand deposits is checking accounts. We require the depositor to withdraw money at any moment. The volume of transactions a creditor is allowed on these transactions is infinite (even though each transaction might be paid by a bank).
For buyers, deposits of demand are essential because sometimes they house funds for daily expenses. Under no scenario, depositors could not purchase items on-demand without informing the bank first.
I believe the answer is B

Answer:
b. $0, -$10, $0
Explanation:
Sam is the producer, and he was getting $50 for moving Sofia's lawn. When the government imposes a tax of $10 on his activity, he now receives $60, but because $10 of those $60 is paid in taxes, his surplus remains the same: $50, so the change in the producer's surplus is $0.
Sofia is the consumer, and she was paying $50, but now she pays $60, thus, her consumer surplus has changed by -$10.
The sum of the change in consumer and producer surplus is $10 ($0 + $10), which is the same as the growth of government revenue from the taxes imposed: $10, therefore, the deadweight loss is $0.
