1. Like banks, thrifts provide a great deal of summary information to the public. One of the most exten- sive sites for thrift information is at http://www. ots.treas.gov/. Select "Industry Performance" under "Data and Research" on the left margin of the site. Now go to "Select Indicator" on the site to answer the following questions.

a. What is the return on average assets for the most recent time period?

b. What is the return on average equity for the most recent time period?

c. How many thrift institutions are reporting to the OTS during the most recent time period?
