Your mother, knowing that you are in finance class, has asked you to help a friend of hers, Mrs. Fong.  Mrs. Fong's husband recently passed away.  He left her two portfolios, one of bonds, one of stocks.  Unfortunately, Mrs. Fong does not know anything about investments, so your mother has volunteered you to help her understand her portfolios.  

Look at the information below and analyze her portfolios. Do all calculations in excel. NO TYPING INTO FORMULAS.  Use text boxes to answer word questions.
