Consider the following balance sheet of a financial institution (FI): Assets Cash 30 Liabilities Deposits 90 Securities 80 Loans 50 160 Borrowed funds Equity 50 20 160 a. Assume that 40 in loan commitments are exercised so that the total value of loans in the balance sheet is now 90. Suppose also that the FI cannot borrow additional funds, cannot raise additional deposits but can sell its securities at 50% of their value (i.e., 50 cents per dollar).

How many loan commitments should be exercised to make the FI insolvent (under the same Activate Windows assumptions in the previous case concerning the possibility of selling securities)?
