Hawkeye Bancorporation
Abstract
Hawkeye, a small bank holding company in Iowa, faces difficulties in the mid 1980s as the local Iowa farm economy is in recession. This case provides an opportunity for students to become familiar with bank financial statements, and introduces some issues in market value accounting and its usefulness to investors and government regulators.
