Answer:
B. False
Explanation:
The banking system can expand the supply of money by a maximum of $1,000,000 ($200,000/0.2).
The maximum currency creation by the banking system is a function of the checkable deposits and the reserve ratio. The formula for this is called the money multiplier, and is given as the checkable deposits divided by the reserve ratio. With this multiplier factor, banks can increase the currency in circulation. This is why central banks use the reserve ratio to monitor the supply of money in their economies.

Answer:
Bob Katz and Sally Mander
Taxable Income for 2018:
= $78,200
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Total wages = $102,400
Gain from sale of stock = 5,200
Interest income = 100
Total income = $107,700
less total deductions = (29,500)
Taxable Income = $78,200
b) Bob Katz and Sally Mander will have taxable income of $78,200 when the appropriate rate of tax is applied and the tax liability obtained, then the $1,500 tax credit will be deducted before arriving at the tax liability due.
c) The short-term capital gain of $5,200 is taxed as ordinary income. Since it is held for less than a year, it will be included in the taxable income for that year and it follows the same tax brackets as ordinary income. On the other hand, the long-term capital gain of $13,000 will attract a tax rate of 0 percent for a taxable income of $78,200. Otherwise, it will attract a tax rate of 15 percent or 20 percent, depending on income level. This means that long-term capital gains tax rates are much lower than the ordinary income tax rate.
