In 2007, the FDIC’s insurance limit was $100,000 per person per bank. If Sam had a $150,000 savings account and $80,000 checking account at Bank J, a $95,000 money market account at Bank K, and a $200,000 savings account at Bank L, how much of Sam’s money was FDIC insured?

The $100,000 limit applies to Sam’s total deposits at each bank, not separately to each account. At Bank J, $100,000 of $230,000 is insured; at Bank K, all $95,000 is insured; and at Bank L, $100,000 of $200,000 is insured. The total insured amount is $100,000 + $95,000 + $100,000 = $295,000, choice a.
