E3 The demand curve and supply curve for one-year discount bonds were estimated using the following equations: Bd Price=-2/5Quantity+990 Bs Price=Quantity+500 As the stock market continued to rise, the Federal Reserve felt the need to increase the interest rates. As a result, the new market interest rate increased to 19.65%, but the equilibrium quantity remained unchanged. What are the new demand and supply equations? Assume parallel shifts in the equations
2. Suppose you bought a condo for $200,000 financing it with a $40,000 down payment of your own funds and a $160,000 mortgage loan from a bank. b. Now assume that, instead of (a), you only put down $20,000 and borrowed $180,000 to buy the condo. Assuming that the market value of your house has risen to $240,000 and ignoring interest and other costs, calculate your rate of return on your asset (ROA) and your rate of return on your equity (ROE).
