True, because you don't everyone good at the same thing. For example, if you want to make a car, you don't want everyone to just know how to build doors.
Solution:
Given ,
1 Year interest rates in Europe = 4 %
1 Year interest rates in the U.S. = 2 %
You are translating $200,000 and spending $200,000 in French
Current spot rate of the euro = $1.20
a. (2%-4%)/(1+4%)=(S - 1.20) / 1.20
S= $1.1769 one year Euro rate
b. ( $1 / 1.20 )( 1 + 4% )* 1.12 = $.9707 return of -2.93% (loss)
c. ( $1 / 1.20) ( 1 + 4%)* 1.31 = $1.1353 return of 13.53% (gain)
d . ($1 / 1.20) ( 1 + 4%) *S = $1 (1+2%) ;
S=$1.1769
A spot rate of over $1.17697 (this is the same in part A) would be effective.

Answer:
The double-exempt bond is the preferred investment because it has a higher after-tax return Tax benefit .
Explanation:
Calculatation of the after-tax return on both bonds
1)The double-exempt bond does not pay state or federal income taxes.
After-tax return =
Before-tax return = 4.9%
2)The tax-exempt bond is the state income taxes, but not federal in which the states can decide whether to tax their bonds or not.
Interest Income (100,000 * 5%) 5,000
Less: State taxes at 10% (5,000* 10%) (500)
Tax benefit from deduction of state taxes on federal return (500 * 35%) 175
After-tax Income 4,675
After-tax return = 4,675/100,000 = 4.675%
Therefore the double-exempt bond is the preferred investment because it has a higher after-tax return Tax benefit .
Hence the state income tax will be deductible on Juan’s federal tax return and Juan’s federal taxable income will be lower or lesser by $500 which will produces tax savings at his federal marginal tax rate of $500 * 35% = $175.
