  1. THE TIME VALUE OF MONEY
    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.
  2. INTEREST RATE RISK
    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.
