Answer:

manage risk in the financial markets

watch banks and protect customers

provide banking services

Influence the money supply

Explanation:

The Fed tries to manage risk in the financial markets. For example, the Federal Reserve would be concerned that the effects of the failure of one financial institution, such as a big bank, might spread to other banks.

The Fed watches over banks and tries to protect banking customers. For example, the Federal Reserve enforces the Truth in Lending Act, which protects people who use credit cards or borrow money to pay an expense, also known as using credit, from deceptive practices.

The Fed offers banking services, such as loans, to other banks, the U.S. government, and other countries.

Maybe most important, the Fed influences the growth of the money supply. The money supply is the amount of money that is flowing through the economy.

zimovet [89]

Answer:

ABC net income for the year is $42,500

Explanation:

Beginning total assets = $400,000

Ending total assets = $450,000

Average total assets = Beginning total assets + Ending total assets ÷ 2

= ($400,000 + $450,000) ÷ 2

= $425,000

Return on assets = 10%

Therefore,

Net income ÷ Average total assets = Return on assets

Net income = Return on assets × Average total assets

Net income = 0.1 × Average total assets

= $425,000 × 0.1

= $42,500

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

legal system

Explanation:

There are five basic legal systems used in different countries around the world: civil law, common law, customary law, religious law, and mixed legal systems.

Generally business operations are included under common law (US and UK + former colonies) or civil law (based on Roman law used in most of Europe and Latin America), at least in western countries. This includes both North and South America, western European countries, and Australia + NZ.

Personally I don't know about the rest of the non western countries.
