Solution

The correct answer is B. average loans minus average deposits.

Here's why:

  1. The financing gap is a measure of a financial institution's liquidity risk, which is the risk that it will not be able to meet its obligations as they come due.

  2. It is calculated by subtracting the institution's average deposits (its primary source of funds) from its average loans (its primary use of funds).

  3. If the financing gap is positive, the institution is lending more than it is taking in deposits, which could create a liquidity risk. If the financing gap is negative, the institution is taking in more deposits than it is lending, which could indicate that it is not using its funds efficiently.
