Checkable deposit claims that depositors have against the assets of the bank. Thus, option 'A' is the correct option.

<h3>What are Checkable Deposits?</h3>

Any demand deposit account for which checks or drafts of any sort may be drawn is referred to as having checkable deposits in the technical sense. (The owner of a demand deposit account has the right to immediately, notice fewer withdrawals of funds.) The most liquid accounts available to consumers are checkable deposit accounts.

They also include any sort of negotiable draft, such as a Super NOW account or a negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW). (Withdrawing funds from NOW accounts may be subject to a seven-day written notification requirement, however, this is seldom necessary.)

olasank [31]

Answer: b. The quantity of the country's currency supplied exceeds the quantity demanded.

Explanation:

A country operating a fixed-exchange rate system would be actively trading its currency to ensure that it remains at a certain rate. If the currency is overvalued, it means that the currency is actually weak and is being propped up by the company's actions in the forex market.

A reason for the weakness would be that the supply is higher than the demand of the currency which means that, as per the rules of supply and demand, the currency is trading at a lower price, i,e., it is weak.
