In march 2010, greece announced that it might have trouble in the future paying off the bonds it had sold to finance its huge government deficits. the wall street journal reported, "prevailing uncertainty over greece's ability to fund itself kept greek government bonds under increasing pressure thursday, pushing 10-year greek yields above 7%." (source: emese bartha, "pressure intensifies on greek debt,"wall street journal, april 8, 2010.) a. use a demand and supply graph for the greek bond market to illustrate why the interest rate on greek government bonds was increasing. be sure that your graph indicates any shifts in the demand curve and /or supply curve for greek bonds. 3. suppose a candidate who runs on a platform of "soak the rich" wins the 2012 presidential election. after being elected, he or she persuades congress to raise the top marginal tax rate on the federal personal income tax to 65%. use one graph to show the impact of this change in tax rates on the market for municipal bonds and another graph to show the impact on the market for u. s. treasury bonds. 5. a student remarks: "135,000,000 shares of general electric were sold yesterday by the fidelity mutual fund on the new york stock exchange, at an average price of $15 per share. that means general electric just received a little over $2 billion from investors." briefly explain whether you agree with the student's analysis.
