Achieving

the volume of
transaction. Also banks, as an intermediaries, can has a long terme relations ship with a borrowers , which can contribute to collecte intensive information about this borrower and hence, to reduce the information cost's supported bye the lender (deposits). AN
Transaction costs can be reduced in a number of ways by offsetting the cost to other parts of the business. Reductions like cheaper product sourcing and staff cuts are necessary.
No the transaction cost of bartering is higher because in this various types of cost ared included.
A real estate transaction is negotiated, which means the costs can be split up any way that the parties agree. Typically in the US the negotiation starts with the seller offering to pay commissions for both agents involved in the transaction, but there is nothing that requires this to be the case and the parties can agree to something different if they choose.
variable costs the right answer is ....voluntary exchange
There are a number of ways through which you can reduce agency costs. Re-evaluation of expenditure and sticking to the budget so as to avoid wastages would be a good way to start.

This was allowing companies to reduce transaction costs, make better investment decisions, and deliver new products more quickly, thereby increasing customer service and lowering overhead costs
Spillover costs are called negative externalities because they are external to the participants in the transaction and reduce the utility of affected third parties (thus "negative").
The banks that have the lowest transaction costs would be Credit Unions which typically do not charge transaction fees. Other banks such as HSBC have transaction fees that amount to $2.50 per transaction.
The future of DeFi smart contracts is bright, with the potential to transform the banking industry by increasing financial inclusion, lowering transaction costs, and providing more accessible financial services.
To reduce labor costs
This paper develops a theory of financial intermediation based on minimizing the cost of monitoring information which is useful for resolving incentive problems between borrowers and lenders. It presents a characterization of the costs of providing incentives for delegated monitoring by a financial intermediary. Diversification within an intermediary serves to reduce these costs, even in a risk neutral economy. The paper presents some more general analysis of the effect of diversification on resolving incentive problems. In the environment assumed in the model, debt contracts with costly bankruptcy are shown to be optimal. The analysis has implications for the portfolio structure and capital structure of intermediaries.

Channels Funds: The financial intermediary provides a place where surplus units can deposit their excess funds with confidence. The financial intermediaries have expert knowledge that ensures that transaction costs of such trade are minimised. Because the financial intermediaries receive deposits from a large customer base they can aggregate these savings and make them available to suitable deficit units as required. Maturity transformation: Many deficit units want to borrow for a long period of time whereas many surplus units don't want to tie up their money for such a long period of time. Financial intermediaries accept deposits daily so if someone wants to borrow for 10 years they can do so, whereas the surplus units don't have to deposit for the 10 years. Because of the daily business of accepting funds, there is a rolling over of new deposits so that there are sufficient funds to enable surplus units to withdraw their funds as they wish. Maturity transformation is the ability to turn short-term deposits into longer term loans. Risk Transformation: Where a surplus unit may be unwilling to lend their money for fear of default, a financial intermediary can spread such risk by virtue of the diversity of the spectrum of its activities. By having a large number of borrowers, all screened, any defaults which may occur can be absorbed by the return on all the successful loans
Network allows for the sharing of devices and can reduce costs for a company.
Without channel intermediaries, each buyer would have to interact directly with each seller. This interaction would be extremely inefficient. Imagine its impact on the total costs of each exchange.
