Before the withdrawal Cash Assets Corporate Loans Total Amount $30 $170 $200 Liabilities/Equity Amount Deposits Equity Total $170 $30 $200 Suppose that depositors unexpectedly withdraw $70 million in deposits and the FI receives no new deposits to replace them. Assume that the FI cannot borrow any more funds in the short-term money markets, and because it cannot wait to get better prices for its assets in the future (as it needs the cash now to meet immediate depositor withdrawals), the FI has to sell any nonliquid assets (corporate loans) at 75 cents on the dollar. What will be the equity (in millions of dollars) of the FI after adjustments are made for the $70 million of deposit withdrawals? Assume no minimum cash reserve requirements.
