... The price at which the broker wants to sell is too expensive. You shouldn’t buy the bond. NOTE: The result was obvious, because a bond that pays a coupon of 3% when all market interest rates are above 3% must sell below par. Since the broker was asking a price above par, you shouldn’t buy the bond. ...

... 2) Calculate the medium run equilibrium for the economy ( g yt and π t ). In equilibrium we have u t − u t −1 = 0 , because ut = un = 0.04 for any t. From the Okun’s Law we obtain g yt = g y = 0.04 . From the Aggregate Demand relation it follows that: 0.04 = 0.14 − π t , which implies π t = 0.1 in e ...
