Transcript
Recall that an asset is a piece of property that is a
store of value. Items such as money, bonds,
stocks, art, land, hauses, farm equipment, and
manufacturing machinery are all aasets.
Facing the question of whether to buy and hold
an asset or wether to buy one asset rather than
another, an individual must consider the
following factors:
1. Wealth, the total resources owned by the
individual, including all assets
2. Expected return (the return expected over the
next period) on one asset relative to alternative
assets
3. Risk (the degree of uncertainty associated with the
return) on one asset relative to alternative assets
4. Liquidity (the ease and speed with wich an asset can
be turned into cash) relative to alternative assets.
Theory of Asset Demand
All the determining factors we have just discussed
can be assembled into the theory of asset demand,
which states that, holding all of the other factors
constant:
1. The quantity demanded of an asset is positively
related to wealth
2. The quantity demanded of an asset is
positively related to its expected return
relative to alternative assets
3. The quantity demanded of an asset is
negatively related to the risk of its returns
relative to alternative assets
4. The quantity demanded of an asset is
positively related to its liquidity relative to
alternative assets

Demand Curve
This means that expected return on this bond is
equal to the interest rate i, wich, using Equation 6
in Chapter 4, is
F-P
i = Re =
P
Where
i = interest rate = yield to maturity
Re= Expected return
F = face value of the discount bond
P = initial purchase price of the discount bond
If the bond sells for $950, the interest rate and expected
return are : $ 1,000 - $ 950
= 0.053=5.3%

Supply Curve
 We use the same assumption in deriving a supply
curve, wich shows the relationship between the
quantity supplied and the price when all other
economic variables are held costant.
 The Bs curve, which connects these point, is the
supply curve for bonds.
 It has the usual upward slope found in supply
curves, indicating that as the price
increases(everything else being equal), the quantity
supplied increases.
Market Equilibrium
 In economics, market equilibrium occurs when
the amount that people are willing to buy
(demand) equals the amount the people are
willing to sell (supply) at a given price
 In the bond market, this is achieved when the
quantity of bonds demanded equals the quantity
of bonds supplied:

The theory of asset demand demonstrated at the
beginning of the chapter provides a framework for
deciding which factors cause the demand curve for
bonds to shift. These factors include changes in four
parameters:
1. Wealth
2. Expected returns on bonds relative to alternative
assets
3. Risk of bonds relative to alternative assets

Shifts in the Supply of Bonds
 Certain factors can cause the supply curve for
bonds to shift, among them these:
1. Expected profitability of investment
oppurtunities
2. Expected inflation
3. Government budget
