2. Let i denote the nominal interest rate, r denote the real interest rate, and INF denote inflation. Consider the same values of i, r, high inflation, and low inflation as in problem 1 above. For TIPS and regular Treasury bond purchases, an individual has allocated $10,000 to invest. a) Solve for the all-TIPS bundle of real wealth. That is, if the individual invests all $10,000 in TIPS, what are the values of WINF and Wlow? b) Solve for the all-regular-Treasury bonds bundle of real wealth. That is, if the individual invests all $10,000 in regular Treasury bonds, what are the values of WINF and Wlow?

A woman wishes to invest $14,000 in three types of bonds: municipal bonds paying 8% interest per year, bank investment certificates paying 9%, and high-risk bonds paying 13%. For tax reasons she wants the amount invested in municipal bonds to be at least three times the amount invested in bank certificates. To keep her level of risk manageable, she will invest no more than $4000 in high-risk bonds. How much should she invest in each type of bond to maximize her annual interest yield? [Hint: Let x = amount in municipal bonds and y = amount in bank certificates. Then the amount in high-risk bonds will be $14,000 − x − y.] municipal bonds $______ bank certificates $______ high-risk bonds $______
