Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 3.45 Banks and Financial Institutions skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A customer wants to keep money safe, but also wants it available for a surprise medical bill. They are deciding between a CD and a savings account.
Which choice is better for this customer and why?
AA CD, because it is always easiest to access.
BA savings account, because it keeps money accessible without a CD early-withdrawal penalty.
CA safe-deposit box, because it earns the most interest.
DA credit card, because it is the same as saving.
Solution & Explanation:Savings accounts are more flexible for emergencies. CDs may charge penalties for early withdrawal. Safe-deposit boxes don't earn interest, and credit cards are borrowing.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
A bank offers a student account that includes a debit card and allows mobile deposits. Harper's parent wants Harper to learn to track spending and avoid borrowing.
Which feature is most directly connected to avoiding borrowing?
AApplying for a credit card.
BUsing the debit card linked to the account balance (spending only what is in the account).
CTaking a loan for school supplies.
DTurning on overdraft with fees.
Solution & Explanation:A debit card spends available money from the account, which helps avoid debt. Credit cards and loans involve borrowing, and overdrafts can create fees and negative balances.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
An account advertises 'no monthly fee' but charges $2 for every paper statement and $0 for online statements. Taylor wants to avoid extra costs and is fine using the internet.
Which choice helps Taylor avoid the extra charge?
AChoose online (paperless) statements.
BRequest paper statements every month.
CClose the account and use only coins.
DPay the $2 and ignore it.
Solution & Explanation:If paper statements cost extra, switching to paperless statements avoids the fee. The other options either create costs or don't solve the problem.
