9. Equilibrium in the bond market
The following graph shows a bond market in equilibrium at a bond price of $5.
Use the following graph input tool to answer the questions that follow. (Note: You will not be graded on any adjustments you make to the graph.)
Suppose the bond price has changed to $2, creating a ____________( surplus / shortage ) of ______________
million bonds. (Hint: Enter the new price in the “Current Price” field to see the changes in quantity demanded and quantity supplied.)
Suppose that instead the bond price has changed to $8. This creates a ____________( surplus / shortage ) of ______________million bonds.
Which of the following best describes how the bond market works when there is a surplus?
A- Quantity demanded increases until the old equilibrium is reached.
B- Quantity supplied declines until the old equilibrium is reached.
C- Quantity supplied increases while quantity demanded declines until the market achieves equilibrium.
D- Quantity supplied declines while quantity demanded increases until the market achieves equilibrium.
Which of the following best describes how the bond market works when there is a shortage?
A- Quantity supplied declines until the old equilibrium is reached.
B- Quantity supplied increases whereas quantity demanded declines until the market achieves equilibrium.
C- Quantity supplied declines whereas quantity demanded increases until the market achieves equilibrium.
D- Quantity demanded increases until the old equilibrium is reached.
At $2: shortage of 6 millions of bonds
(As quantity demanded > quantity supplied so there is a shortage
= Qd - Qs = 8 - 2 = 6)
At $8: surplus of 6 millions of bonds
(As quantity demanded < quantity supplied so there is a surplus
= Qs - Qd = 8 - 2 = 6)
D- Quantity supplied declines while quantity
demanded increases until the market achieves equilibrium.
(When there is a surplus, Qs > Qd. So, Qs decreases and Qd
increases until equilibrium is reached.)
B- Quantity supplied increases whereas quantity
demanded declines until the market achieves equilibrium.
(When there is a shortage, Qs < Qd. So, Qd decreases and Qs
increases until equilibrium is reached.)
