Question content area bottom

Part 1
What amount of FDIC coverage do Tony and Cynthia have on their​ accounts?  ​(Select the best answer​ below.)
 
 
A.
​Tony's account balance of
​$137 comma 454137,454
is completely covered as is their joint account of
​$61 comma 34561,345​;
both accounts are under the​ $250,000 FDIC limit.​ Cynthia's account is over the insurance limit by
​$2 comma 3042,304​,
but is fully insured because they only have
​$61 comma 34561,345
in their joint account.
 
B.
​Tony's account balance of
​$137 comma 454137,454
is completely covered as is their joint account of
​$61 comma 34561,345​;
both accounts are under the​ $250,000 FDIC limit.​ Cynthia's account is over the insurance limit by
​$2 comma 3042,304​,
but their money would be covered if she moved some into their joint account or into another institution.
 
C.
​Tony's account balance of
​$137 comma 454137,454
is not covered and neither is their joint account of
​$61 comma 34561,345.
This is because​ Cynthia's account balance of
​$252 comma 304252,304
is over the insurance limit by
​$2 comma 3042,304​,
therefore the institution does not have to insure any of their accounts.
 
D.
Tony and Cynthia have a total of
​$451 comma 103451,103
in this institution. Each institution is insured up to​ $250,000, so they are over the insurance limit by
​$201 comma 103201,103
and should move money into other institutions.
