FIN630 - Investment Analysis & Portfolio Management
Question: Comment on the statement: “The bond market is primarily an OTC market?
Answer :
No the bond market is not primarily an OTC market. We expelain the terms briefly to clearly differentiate them from one another.
Bond Market
The bond market (also known as the debt, credit, or fixed income market) is a financial market where participants buy and sell debt securities, usually in the form of bonds.
References to the "bond market" usually refer to the government bond market, because of its size, liquidity, lack of credit risk and, therefore, sensitivity to interest rates. Because of the inverse relationship between bond valuation and interest rates, the bond market is often used to indicate changes in interest rates or the shape of the yield curve.
Over-the-counter Market
Over-the-counter (OTC) trading is to trade financial instruments such as stocks, bonds, commodities or derivatives directly between two parties. It is contrasted with exchange trading, which occurs via facilities constructed for the purpose of trading (i.e., exchanges), such as futures exchanges or stock exchanges.

If PEoD > 1 then Demand is Price Elastic (Demand is sensitive to price changes)
· If PEoD = 1 then Demand is Unit Elastic
· If PEoD < 1 then Demand is Price Inelastic (Demand is not sensitive to price changes)
If we notice the figures even small change of price from 2 to 2.1 will change the demand from 102 to 85 which shows that coffee is price elastic. To make sure, we look at the real time calculation.
PEoD = (% Change in Quantity Demanded)/(% Change in Price)
PEod = -3.33
· PEod = -3.33 in case of price elasticity of demand we are concern with absolute value so we are ignoring the -ve sign
· If PEoD > 1 then Demand is Price Elastic (Demand is sensitive to price changes)
· If PEoD = 1 then Demand is Unit Elastic
· If PEoD < 1 then Demand is Price Inelastic (Demand is not sensitive to price changes)

Question No.1:
Mr. Anwar will retire at the age of 60. He expects to live 20 more years and to
Spend Rs. 55,000 a year during his retirement. How much money does he need to?
Save by age 60 to support this consumption plan? Assume an interest rate of 7
Percent.
Solution:
C= 55000
I = 7%=0.07
T = 20 Years
Formula for annuity:
= C (1/r-1/r (1+r) t]
Putting the values in formula:
= 55000(1/0.07-1/0.07 (1+0.07)20
= 55000(1/0.07-1/0.07 (3.86)
= 55000(1/0.07-1/0.2702
= 55000(1/0.07-3.70
= 55000(14.28-3.70)
= 55000(10.58)
= 581900
