- 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. When the federal income tax law was adopted in 1913, interest on municipal bonds was excluded from federal taxation. 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 $80,000 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.

- Five years after graduating from college, Lucia Li feels that she is finally ready to invest some of her earnings. She has eliminated her credit card debt and has established an emergency fund. Her parents have been pleased with the performance of their mutual fund investments with Janus Capital Group. She has narrowed her search down to two mutual funds: The Janus Balanced Fund (JANBX): This “core” fund consists of stocks and bonds and its goal is diversification. It has historically produced solid long-term returns through different market cycles. The Janus Overseas Fund (JAOSX): This fund invests in overseas companies based on their individual merits instead of their geography or industry sector. The following table reports a portion of the annual returns (in percent) for these two funds from 2000–2016. Year Balanced. Overseas 2000-2.16-18.57 2001-5.04-23.11 2002-6.56-23.89 2003- 13.74-36.79 2004-8.71-18.58 2005-7.75-32.39 2006-10.56-47.21 2007-10.15-27.76 2008-15.22-52.75…A manufacturer’s contribution margin income statement for the year follows.

He is worried about possible price changes, so he is considering hedging - a financial engineering technique that minimizes future uncertainties in the cash flow. Typically, hedging is carried out using futures contract. However, unfortunately, there is no futures contract for grapefruit juice, but there is a futures contract for orange juice. Still, the farmer might consider using the futures contract for orange juice as a replacement for futures contract for grapefruit juice, in the hope that these two contracts are highly correlated due to the similarity of the underlying products. Currently, the spot prices are $1.20 per pound for orange juice and $1.50 per pound for grapefruit juice. The standard deviation of the prices of orange juice and grapefruit juice is about 20% per year, and the correlation coefficient…
