The demand curve and supply curve for one‐year discount bonds with a face value of R1,000 are represented by the following equations (round your responses‐quantity and price to the nearest whole number and the interest rate to two decimal places where applicable). Bd: P = −0.6 * Q + 1200 Bs: P = Q + 800 Where Bd, Bs , P and Q are bond demand, bond supply, price and quantity respectively. Calculate the expected equilibrium price and quantity of bonds in this market and what is the expected interest rate in this market?
