1. THE TIME VALUE OF MONEY<\/b><\/p>\n
Some financial advisors recommend you increase the amount of federal income taxes withheld from your paycheck each month so that you will get a larger refund come April 15th. That is, you take home less today but get a bigger lump sum when you get your refund. Based on your knowledge of the time value of money, what do you think of this idea? Explain.<\/p>\n
2. INTEREST RATE RISK<\/b><\/p>\n
Define what is meant by interest rate risk. Assume you are the manager of a $100 million portfolio of corporate bonds and you believe interest rates will fall. What adjustments should you make to your portfolio based on your beliefs?<\/p>\n
Please number each of your answers. This is very important so that I understand which questions you are responding to.<\/b><\/p>\n
