Question:
22. Loan Guarantees. The FDIC insures bank deposits. If a bank's assets are insufficient to pay off all depositors, the FDIC will contribute enough money to ensure that all depositors can be paid off in full. (We ignore the $100,000 maximum coverage on each account.) In what way is this guarantee of deposits the provision of a put option by the FDIC? (Hint: Write out the funds the FDIC will have to contribute when bank assets are less than deposits owed to depositors.) What is the exercise price of the put option? (LO4)
