Answer:
All answers are correct except Money Supply
Explanation:
Fiscal policy affects aggregate demand through government spending and taxes. Government may increase taxes to increase revenue or discourage the consumption of a product. On the flipside, they may reduce taxes to stimulate spending, redistribute income, increase aggregate demand among other objectives.
Money supply is a monetary policy and it is used by the central bank to achieve certain objectives (reduce inflation, stimulate growth, increase demand, etc.)
Government spending is a fiscal policy that government uses to achieve a set of objectives (i.e. to supply goods and services that are not provided by the market or private sector – construct bridges, provide health facilities, social programmes for the poor among others).
Taxes – Tax is a fiscal policy tool used by the government to generate revenue, encourage or discourage the consumption of certain products or affect aggregate demand through income redistribution.
Trade policy could be in the form taxes (i.e. tariffs, import duties, custom duties among others). Trade policy is a fiscal policy as government can use it to control aggregate demand by placing embargo on the importation of certain products to reduce the demand of such products in the local economy.

Answer:
a. The company must have had net income equal to zero in 2009.
Explanation:
If on its 2008 balance sheet, Sherman Books showed a balance of retained earnings equal to $510 million, and on its 2009 balance sheet, the balance of retained earnings was also equal to $510 million; then what is true is that the company must have had net income equal to zero in 2009.
Retained earnings is the profit amount or net income left over and taken back into the business after it has paid out dividends to its shareholders.
However it is unlikely that the company will pay out the entire amount it earns in a particular year but a percentage of earnings.
In the case of Sherman, it is unlikely that the company made a profit of $200 million and paid out every bit as dividends to shareholders but what is most likely is that there was no profit made for retention in 2009
Answer:
What is the Value of Bank Deposits?
bank deposits = bank reserves / required reserve ratio = $200 / 20% = $1,000
What is the Money Supply?
money supply = bank deposits + currency held by the public = $1,000 + $1,00 = $2,000
Suppose that the Fed sells $50 worth of bonds in an "open market sale." Assuming that the public does not wish to change the amount of currency it holds, what is the new money supply after this open market purchase?
if the FED sells $50 worth of bonds, money supply will decrease by $50 x (1 / 20%) = $50 x 5 = $250
total money supply = $2,000 - $250 = $1,750

Explanation:
Theft loss deduction is calculated by adjusting the fair market value of the asset for a theft loss floor limitation of $100 and 10% of the person's AGI.
Theft loss deduction is:
= Fair value -Theft floor limitation - 10% of AGI
= 7,000 - 100 - (10% * 50,000)
= $1,900
