Answer:

The correct answer is:

  • Conduct monetary policy;
  • Ensure that the financial system is stable;
  • Provide banking services to commercial banks, depository institutions, and the federal government.

Explanation:

A central bank is the apex monetary authority in a country. It plays several crucial roles in the smooth working of the economy.

  1. A central bank issues currency on behalf of the government.
  2. It formulates monetary policy on behalf of the government.
  3. It acts as a banker for the government.
  4. It acts as a banker for commercial banks.
  5. It supervises all financial institutions.

The role of providing services to businesses and consumers is played by commercial banks. Fiscal policy is formulated by the government. The responsibility of ensuring the growth of the economy also falls with the government.

Furkat [3]

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

1) P<u>atrick patrone </u>

Single and 2 allowances =\$ 925-\$ 155.80-\$ 155.80=\$ 613.40

It falls under the category of Over $509 but under $1,631

The amount of income tax that he withholds is $36.70 + 12% of excess over $509

\$ 36.70+12 \%(\$ 613.40-\$ 509)=\$ 36.70+12 \% \text { of } \$ 104.40=\$ 36.70+\$ 12.53=\$ 49.23

The amount to withhold for Federal income tax is $49.23.

2) <u>Carson Leno, married and 4 allowances </u>

= $1,195 - $155.80 - $155.80 - $155.80 - $155.80 = $571.80

The wages falls under the category of Over $444 but under $1,177.

The amount of income tax that he withholds is $0 + 10% of excess over $444.

\$ 0+10 \%(\$ 571.80-\$ 444)=\$ 0+10 \% \text { of } \$ 127.20=\$ 0+\$ 12.72=\$ 12.72

The amount to withhold for Federal income tax is $12.72

3) Carli lintz single, zero allowances and wages is $700.

$700 - $0 = $700 (zero allowance)

The wages falls under the category of Over $509 but under $1631.

The amount of income tax to withhold is $36.70 + 12% of excess over $509

\$ 36.70+12 \%(\$ 700-\$ 509)=\$ 36.70+12 \% \text { of } \$ 191 .=\$ 36.70+\$ 22.92=\$ 59.62

The amount to withhold for Federal income tax is $59.62.

4) Gene hartz. Single, 1 allowance and $2,500 wages.

$2,500 - $155.80 = $2,348.20

The wages fall under the category of Over $1,631 but under $3,315

The amount of income tax to withhold is $171.34 + 22 % of excess of $1,631 \begin{aligned}&\$ 171.34+22 \%(\$ 2348.20-\$ 1631)=\$ 171.34+22 \% \text { of } \$ 717.20 .=\$ 174.34+\$ 157.78=\\&\$ 332.12\end{aligned}The amount for Federal income tax is $332.12

5) Mollie Parmer. Married, 2 allowances and wages is $3,600

\$ 3,600-\$ 155.80-\$ 155.80=\$ 3,288.40

The wages falls under the category of Over $1,177 but under $3,421

The amount of income tax to withhold is $\$ 73.30+12 \%$ of excess over $\$ 1,177$ \begin{aligned}&\$ 73.30+12 \% \text { of }(\$ 3,288.40-\$ 1,177) .=\$ 73.30+12 \% \text { of } \$ 2,111.40 .=\$ 73.30+\$ 253.37=\\&\$ 326.67\end{aligned}The amount for Federal income tax is $326.67.

Which goal is an example of a measurable goal?
Anni [7]

Sales Target

Explanation:

A sales target is an example of a measurable goal and it is probably the most common, and perhaps the most important, measurable goal in a firm.

It simply consists in determining a minimum number of goods or services to be sold, measured in either physical or monetary terms, in order to keep the firm afloat and profitable.

For example, a firm that sells cars can determine that for the month of january it must sell at least 250 cars in order to stay in business. If the goal is not reached, the sustainability of the firm can be endangered.
