Visit the FDIC's Statics on Depository Institutions site for balance sheet data to answer the questions below. You will need to do some analysis of the values there, not just report numbers! 1. What percentage of banks have assets in excess of $250 billion in the most recent reporting period? 2. What percentage of banks have assets of $1billion or less in the most recent reporting period? 3. How much Equity do the largest (assets greater than $250 billion) banks hold as a percent of assets? 4. What portion of assets are in Securities for the smallest (less than $100 million) banks - again as a percent of assets?

This question is for all All Commercial Banks only.
