Answer: a. The common-size balance sheet allow for comparison of firms with different levels of total assets by introducing a common denominator.

Explanation: The common-size balance sheets are those balance sheets in which the structure of each part of the assets, liabilities and equity major categories are detailed, each one with their absolute value (the amount) and their relative value (percentage of the total).

For example, assets are 5 million dollars, capital 3 million and liabilities 2 million. Cash is 1 million. So in the common-size balance sheet you will see Cash (or liquidity) for 1 million dollars and 20%.

This way you can compare two or more firms with different ammount of assets (one with 8 million with one of just 1 million, for example) as indicating which is the percentage of liquidity for each one, or their percetage of liabilities, etc. The relative value, which is made in the common-size balance sheets makes this comparisson possible.

katovenus [111]

Answer:

If the Fed conducts an open market purchase by specifically buying government securities from the Bank, banks' reserves increase and the quantity of money increases.

Explanation:

The Federal Reserve (Fed) buys and sells government securities to control the money supply. This activity is called open market operations (OPO). By buying and selling government securities in the free market, the Fed can expand or contract the amount of money in the banking system and pursue its monetary policy.

To increase the money supply, the Fed will purchase bonds from banks to inject money into the banking system.

The Federal Reserve's latest effort to calm the financial system — pumping $100 billion a day into trillion-dollar funding markets — is intended to be a temporary role, born of necessity. But it may turn out to be a significant expansion of the Fed's footprint.
