Part 1
What amount of FDIC coverage do Tony and Cynthia have on their​ accounts?  ​(Select the best answer​ below.)
 
 
A.
Tony and Cynthia have a total of
​$460 comma 540460,540
in this institution. Each institution is insured up to​ $250,000, so they are over the insurance limit by
​$210 comma 540210,540
and should move money into other institutions.
 
B.
​Tony's account balance of
​$138 comma 348138,348
is completely covered as is their joint account of
​$68 comma 55868,558​;
both accounts are under the​ $250,000 FDIC limit.​ Cynthia's account is over the insurance limit by
​$3 comma 6343,634​,
but is fully insured because they only have
​$68 comma 55868,558
in their joint account.
 
C.
​Tony's account balance of
​$138 comma 348138,348
is completely covered as is their joint account of
​$68 comma 55868,558​;
both accounts are under the​ $250,000 FDIC limit.​ Cynthia's account is over the insurance limit by
​$3 comma 6343,634​,
but their money would be covered if she moved some into their joint account or into another institution.
 
D.
​Tony's account balance of
​$138 comma 348138,348
is not covered and neither is their joint account of
​$68 comma 55868,558.
This is because​ Cynthia's account balance of
​$253 comma 634253,634
is over the insurance limit by
​$3 comma 6343,634​,
therefore the institution does not have to insure any of their accounts.
