- O If the market interest rate (i) increases today, the Price of a Bond (P) today will decline. The following are correct statements about the impact of Market Interest Rate (i*) on value and return of a typical Coupon Bond, EXCEPT: The YTM of a Bond and the Market Interest Rate (i*) are the same value, even in the Short Term. O For a long term bond, if the Market Interest rate (i*) is expected to increase, the current Price of such Bond will Decline. For a two period Bond, if the Market Interest rate (i*) is expected to increase in the next period, the Expected Total Return (RET) on such bond will decline. Long Term Bonds are considered more risky than Short Term bonds, in part due to the risk associated to changes in future interest rates.arrow_forwardPlease use the graph to answer the questions.

LO 2,5 A consumer receives income y in the current period and income y' in the future period, and pays taxes of t and t' in the current and future periods, respectively. The consumer can borrow and lend at the real interest rate r. This consumer faces a constraint on how much he or she can borrow, much like the credit limit typically placed on a credit card account. That is, the consumer cannot borrow more than x, where x < we-y+t, with we denoting lifetime wealth. Use diagrams to determine the effects on the consumer's current consumption, future consumption, and saving of a change in x, and explain your results.arrow_forward
