I. First Student Bank. First Student Bank (FSB) has the following balance sheet: The bank is only two years old and is desperately trying to break into the local market for student loans.

This policy has been a success, and the bank has signed agreements guaranteeing $800 in loans. The bank has also tried to encourage the building of 14 family homes near campus. The bank is willing to lend money on these properties and to commit to repurchasing the homes when the students graduate.
