Answer 1

A ______ is a simplified balance sheet.

Answer : Bank Account

Reason :

A bank account is an arrangement with a bank which allows you to keep your money in the bank and to take some out when you need it.An agreement between a bank and a person or institution, whereby the bank agrees to hold money and/or other assets on behalf of the other party. What the holder may do with those assets depends upon the nature of the account. In a checking account or a savings account, the bank holds money and pays the client a certain percentage in interest. This payment gives the bank the right to lend the money to other clients or invest it within the confines of law and banking regulations. However, the client has the right to withdraw the total amount of money on demand.

The interest rate the Fed charges other banks for loans is the ______ rate and the interest rate on over night loans from one bank to another bank is the ______ rate.

Answer : Federal funds and discount rates

​​​​​​​Reason :

Federal funds, often referred to as fed funds, are excess reserves that commercial banks and other financial institutions deposit at regional Federal Reserve banks; these funds can be lent, then, to other market participants with insufficient cash on hand to meet their lending and reserve needs. The loans are unsecured and are made at a relatively low interest rate, called the federal funds rate or overnight rate, as that is the period for which most such loans are made.
