Imagine you're Kai, and you've just opened a shiny new bank account at Eastside Savings. You notice those cool FDIC stickers everywhere, and the friendly teller assures you that Eastside Savings is "FDIC insured." Fast forward a few months, and you hear on the radio that Eastside Savings is having a tough time staying afloat. Your savings balance is $500. What would happen to your money if Eastside Savings went under?

• You would receive all the money you have deposited at Eastside Savings since FDIC insurance covers accounts up to $250,000.

• You could lose $250 since FDIC insurance only covers 50% of the money you have deposited.

• You would lose all of your money.

• You would receive $250,000 since FDIC insurance provides each account at the bank with $250,000 regardless of how much they have deposited.
