Answer: Liquidity in the banking system is increased
Explanation:
The Federal Funds rate is the interest rate at which commercial banks are allowed to lend each other their excess reserves overnight to meet reserve requirements.
If this rate were to be reduced, it would make lending cheaper between banks who would then take advantage of this to borrow more occasionally. This will then translate to a higher liquidity amongst the banks.
Answer:
B) Only statement II is correct.
- II. Has $20,000 of taxable income from Corporation Z.
Explanation:
One of the disadvantages of a C Corporation is that their owners (stockholders) are double taxed. That means that the corporation is taxed and then the stockholders are taxed depending on the dividends that they receive. In this case, Walter has $10,000 of taxable income from Corporation X (= $50,000 x 20%).
On the other hand, sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability companies and S Corporations are not taxed, they are pass through entities whose owners are taxed directly. In this case, Walter owns 20% of Corporation Z, therefore he must pay taxes on 20% of taxable income = $100,000 x 20% = $20,000.
