The demand curve and supply curve for one-year discount bonds were estimated using the following equations: Bd : Price = - 2/5 Quantity + 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

An economist has estimated that, near the point of equilibrium, the demand curve and supply curve for 1 year bonds can be estimated using the following equations:Demand: Price = (-0.5)*Quantity + 930Supply: Price = Quantity + 500Assume the face of the bond is $1,000.1. What is the expected equilibrium price and quantity of bonds in this market to 4 decimal places? Price$ Quantity 2. Given your answer to part (a), which is
Consider demand for Apple stock. How is it affected by the following factors (relative to other assets)(Holding all other factors constant) a. Wealth falls b. Expected value appreciates c. Liquidity for bond increases d. Bond market: price volatily falls Please provide explanation showing the shifts in the supply and demand curve for each of these factors.

Which of the following is NOT TRUE about bond valuation? *a. Bonds can sell either for a discount or premium.b. The value of the bond does not necessarily equal or the same as its price.c. Bonds pays its cash flows through periodic interest payments and principal.d. None of the choices.e. Bond valuation is used to calculate the worth of the bond compared to its price
Which of the following statements is false? 1 ）Because the cash flows promised by the bond are the most that bondholders can hope to receive, the cash flows that a purchaser of a bond with credit risk expects to receive may be less than that amount. 2) By consulting bond ratings, investors can assess the creditworthiness of a particular bond issue. 3.Because the yield to maturity for a bond is calculated using the promised cashflows, the yield of bonds with credit risk will be lower than that of otherwise identical default-free bonds. 4) A higher yield to maturity does not necessarily imply that a bond's expected return is higher. 5) none of the answers are correct
The demand curve and supply curve for one‐year discount bonds with a face value of $1,050 are represented by the following equations: Bd: Price = −0.8 * Quantity + 1160 Bs: Price = Quantity + 720 How does the Reserve Bank policy affect the bond supply equation?
Consider the following hypothetical investment for the fund. Issue a one-month liability and purchase a $1,000, 15-year, 5% coupon Treasury bond. Assume that the one-month interest rate is currently 2% and that the 15-year interest rate is currently 5%. How much in liabilities would the fund have to issue to finance the purchase of the Treasury bond? At the end of one year the fund has received the coupon-interest payment on the bond and paid interest on its short-term liabilities. What is the net earnings for the fund for that year? What is the value of the bond investment at the end of the year (there are 14 years to maturity remaining on the bond) assuming that the long-term rate is still 5%? What is the net asset value (market value of assets minus liabilities) of the fund?
Explain what the term "bond price elasticity" means. Would bond price elasticity indicate that zero-coupon or high-coupon bonds with the same yield to maturity have a greater price sensitivity? Why? What does this mean for the market value volatility of zero-coupon Treasury bonds vs high-coupon Treasury bonds in mutual funds?
Inflationary expectations in the economy increase rapidly, evoking a much stronger response from issuers of bonds than lenders of bonds. Using the model of supply and demand for bonds, illustrate and explain the impact of this increase in inflationary expectation on equilibrium bond price and interest rate.

The demand D (in billions of £) for a bond with coupon rate 5% and face value FV = 1000, and two years to maturity as a function of its price P is D = 4000 − 2P. The supply in (billions of £)as a function of the price of the bond is S = 2P + 400. b) Suppose that the yield to maturity of the bond is i = 0.05. What is the quantity demanded/supplied at this interest rate? What happens to the demand/supply of the bond as the interest rate increases? Explain why. c) What is the equilibrium interest rate? d) Suppose that the bond trades at premium. Is there excess demand or supply? Explain. e) There is a business cycle contraction, so both supply and demand shifts. After the shift, the new demand curve is given by: D = 4000 + X − 2P , whereas the new supply curve is S = 2P + 200. For which values of X will the interest increase/decrease? Which values of X are in line with empirical data? Please show all the steps and equations used to get to the answers.
