Explanation:

Mutual Savings Banks are also owned by members who felt that traditional banks did not favour them.
B. Demand Deposit accounts exist in both commercial banks and Credit Unions but with different names. In Commercial banks they are known as Checking accounts for the most part but Credit Unions call them Share Draft Accounts and members of the Union can use these accounts by writing drafts like Commercial banks allow cheques.
C. While Credit Unions were formed usually for people in the same organisations or people with a common bond, Mutual Savings Banks were generally meant to uplift the lower economic classes so they did not share a common bond as Credit Union members do.
Answer:
The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $5 per bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $3 per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is $2 per bottle. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on producers.
Explanation:
The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $5 ($3 + $2).
The burden on consumers is $3 ($9 - $6), which is the difference between the after-tax purchase price and the before-tax purchase price for consumers. This implies that the burden passed to consumers is $3 out of the total tax burden of $5.
The burden on producers is $2 ($6 - $4) which represents the difference between before-tax selling price and the after-tax selling price for the producers. This means that the burden passed to producers is $2 out of the total tax burden of $5.
If the tax burden were passed to the producers alone, the selling price would have been more than $11 ($6 + 5). This would have reduced demand for wine as consumers would have been forced to bear the total burden. This would have made the tax unequitable. This would have been the case unless demand is inelastic. That means that the total demanded is not sensitive to price increases.
