- Annual interest yield refer to problem 13 .suppose the investor decides to increase the maximum invested in highest bonds to $3000 leave the other conditions unchanged .by how much will her maximum possible interest yield increase?1) The question screenshots attached down below. Step-by-Steps solution.Consider the following queuing systems:System 1 An average of 40 customers arrive each hour; interarrival times are exponential. Customers must com-plete two types of service before leaving the system. The first server takes an average of 30 seconds (exponentiallydistributed) to perform type 1 service. After waiting in line, each customer obtains type 2 service (exponentially distrib-uted with a mean of 1 minute) from a single server. After completing type 2 service, a customer leaves the system.System 2 The arrival process for system 2 is identical to the interarrival process for system 1. In system 2, a cus-tomer must complete only one type of service. Service time averages 1.5 minutes and is exponentially distributed. Twoservers are available.In which system does a typical customer spend less time?
- More than 50,000 state and local governments and their agencies borrow money by issuing municipal bonds to build, repair, or improve schools, streets, highways, hospitals, sewer systems, and so on.

As a result, municipal bond investors are willing to accept lower yields than those they can obtain from taxable bonds. As part of your portfolio, you are considering investing $70,000 in bonds. You have the choice of investing in tax-exempt municipal bonds yielding 2.75% or corporate bonds yielding 4% in taxable interest income.

The Reserve Bank (SARB) has long been under pressure to take more drastic measures to revive growth in Africa’s most advanced economy, with calls for the bank to slash lending rates and finance government through quantitative easing (QE). The bank has cut rates by 300 basis points in 2020 to a record-low 3.50%. And in March it launched a bond-buying program, purchasing government debt in the secondary market to ease a liquidity collapse in the capital markets prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic. But with the economy, already in recession before the coronavirus and set to contract by more than 7% this year, and the government budget nearing double-digits deficit, labour and some politicians have called for more drastic action, including a widening of the bank’s mandate. “The problem…
