The demand and supply for a one year discount bond with a face value of $1000 is given by Bd: P = -0.5Qd + 1250 and Bs: P = Qs - 250. What is the equilibrium price and quantity for this discount bond? What is the interest rate?
At equilibrium,
-.5*Q + 1250 = Q - 250
1.5*Q = 1500
Q = 1500/1.5
Q = 1000
Price = -.5*1000 + 1250
Price = $750
So, equilibrium price is $750 and quantity is 1000.
Let, interest rate = R
750 = 1000/(1+R)
R = 1000/750 - 1
R = 33.33%
So, the interest rate is 33.33%

Suppose that the demand and supply curves for one-year discount bonds with a face value of $1,000 are represented by the following equations: Bd: Price = -0.6* Quantity + 1140 BS: Price = Quantity + 700 a) What is the expected interest rate in this market? b) Now suppose that the Federal Reserve sells 80 bonds that it holds. What is the new equilibrium interest rate in this market? What do you observe? Is this consistent with what you would...
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 equals negative 0.8 Quantity plus1,160 Bs: Price equals Quantity plus 680 The expected equilibrium quantity of bonds is nothing. (Round your response to the nearest whole number.)
The demand curve and Supply Curve for one year discount bond with a face value of $1,000 are represented by the following equations B": Price = -0.6 x Quantity + Wealth B': Price = Quantity + 700, Where Wealth is the level of disposable income per investor. At first the wealth of investors is $1100. Suppose that, as a result of expansionary fiscal policy, dis- posable income per investor has increased to $1140. (a) How does the fiscal policy affect...
i. Consider the following demand and supply equations for one-year discount bonds with a face value of $1000. Bd: P = -0.6Q+1140 Bs: P = Q + 700 (6pts) Solve for the equilibrium values of P* and Q*, as well as i*. 6pts. (8pts) Suppose that, as a result of a monetary policy action, the Fed sells 80 bonds that it holds. Assume that Bd and Md are held constant. Write down the new BS equation. Calculate the effect of...
demand and supply curve for one-year discount bonds with face value of S100 are represented by the following equation: Demand for bonds: Price =-0.8*Quantity+ 1,160 Supply of bonds: Price= Quantity +720 What is the expected equilibrium price? (2%) What is the expected interest rate in this market? (2%)
3) (10 points total) You have the following expressions for bond demand and bond supply respectively: BD: P 200-3Q B: P 50 +2Q a) (2 points) Solve for the equilibrium quantity and price in this bond market (please show work) b) (4 points for correct and completely labeled diagram) Draw a demand and supply diagram and locate this initial point as point A. Now conditions change.... bond demand remains the same but bond supply changes and is now: BS: P-...
Suppose a bond pays annual interest of $200. Compute the interest rate per year that a bondholder can earn for each face value in the following table. Face Value (Dollars) 1,000 2,000 4,000 Interest Rate per Year (Percentage) If the annual interest paid stays the same and the face value of the bond goes up, then the interest rate paid for the bond per year The following table shows the quantity of money supplied and the quantity of money demanded...
I need help figuring out the
