Answer: Surething Inc, needs to issue bonds with 11% interest rate in order to make Hugh indifferent between investing in two bonds.

We arrive at the answer in the following manner:

The City of Helfin bonds are municipal bonds and hence they are tax free. This means that Hugh will get an after - tax return of 6.6%.

The bonds of Surething Inc offering a 10% interest, however are taxed at 40%. So, the current after-tax returns of the bond is:

After - tax return= Pre- tax return * (1 -tax rate)

After-tax return= 0.1 * (1-0.4)

Current after tax return = 0.06 or 6%

However Hugh will be indifferent to investing in these two bonds only if they offer the same after-tax return of 6.6%.

Given this, we can calculate the indifference rate as follows:

After - tax return= Pre- tax return * (1 -tax rate)

0.066= Pre- tax return * (1 -0.4)

\frac{0.066}{0.6}= Pre-tax return

Pre-tax return = 0.11 or 11%.

Suppose that you are a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The economy is experiencing a sharp rise
monitta

As a member of the Federal Reserve Board, in an inflationary situation I would suggest a change in the federal funds rate that would be accomplished by raising the base interest rate of the US economy. This would make bonds more attractive and people would stop consuming to invest in public debt securities. In addition, raising interest rates would discourage credit, causing banks to lend less. Since inflation is a monetary phenomenon caused by the excess of currency in circulation, these measures would have a downward effect on inflation, as they reduce the amount of money in circulation in the economy.
