Use the loanable funds market to illustrate the effect of the following events on the equilibrium. Illustrate the effects on the interest rate and quantity of investment-savings a) The proportion of retired people in the population goes up. Think that usually retired people generally save less than working people at any interest rate. b) At any given interest rate, consumers decide to save more (assume the budget balance is zero). c) At any given interest rate, businesses become very optimistic about the future profitability of investment spending (assume the budget balance is zero).
Use the analysis for the market for loanable funds diagram to illustrate and explain how the following government policy affects the economy’s saving and investment. Policy 1: Suppose the government starts with a balanced budget and then, because of a tax cut or spending increase, starts running a budget deficit.State, explain and draw the loanable funds diagram for i,ii and iii. (i) which which loanable funds curve would this policy affect?(ii) which way would the loanable funds curve shift?(iii) what would be the the impact on interest rates?
a high interest rate can also indicate that something positive is happening in the economy. Describe how positive factors can lead to an increased in the demand for loanable funds and then an increase in the interest rate.
According to how we model the Loanable Funds market in Ch. 6 (considering household savings and taking (T – G) as government’s net ‘saving,’ which could be negative it there were a budget deficit), which of the following shifts the Supply of Loanable Funds curve to the left? (T = taxes; G = government spending.) Group of answer choices A) higher tax rates on business investment spending B) a change in tastes toward consuming less C) higher budget deficit D) change in tastes toward saving more E) lower budget deficit
Other things the same, people in the U.S. would want to save more if the real interest rate in the U.S. a. fell. The increased saving would increase the quantity of loanable funds demanded.b. fell. The increased saving would increase the quantity of loanable funds supplied.c. rose. The increased saving would increase the quantity of loanable funds demanded.d. rose. The increased saving would increase the quantity of loanable funds supplied.
Draw a graph of the supply and demand of loanable funds. Then, show how the interest rate will be affected when the following scenarios occur: a. The government implements a program that reduces investment tax credits. b. The government budget deficit is reduced by 30%. (Hint: Does the government still need to borrow?) c. More foreigners are saving their money in U.S. banks.
1. I would like for you to identify and explain how a government budget surplus impacts the loanable fund market by explaining which curve(s) moves and which direction. 2. Identify of being a closed economy or an open economy affects the market differently.

In 1981, many interest rates in the United States were 15%, but the inflation rate was 10%. In 2015, many interest rates were less than 1%, and the inflation rate was 2%. a. What were the real interest rates in 1981 and 2015? b. all else equal, how does the drop in interest rates between 1981 and 2015 affect the quantity of loanable funds supplied? Question 2. Recently, the economies of China and India have begun to grow very rapidly. This increases their citizens’ income and wealth. In turn, these citizens increase their savings in their country and also in the United States. a. When foreign savings enter the U.s. loanable funds market, which curve is affected—supply or demand? How is this curve affected? b. How would you graph the U.s. loanable funds market both before and after the increase in foreign savings? c. How does the change in foreign savings affect both investment and future output in the United states? Question 3. Bond A pays Rs. 80,000 in 20…
5. The market for loanable funds and government policy The following graph shows the market for loanable funds. For each of the given scenarios, adjust the appropriate curve on the graph to help you complete the questions that follow. Treat each scenario separately by resetting the graph to its original state before examining the effect of each individual scenario. (Note: You will not be graded on any changes you make to the graph.) Scenario 1: Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) allow people to shelter some of their income from taxation. Suppose the maximum annual contribution to such accounts is $5,000 per person. Now suppose there is a decrease in the maximum contribution, from $5,000 to $3,000 per year. Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to reflect this change. This change in the tax treatment of interest income from saving causes the equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds to ______ (fall/ rise) and the level of investment spending to _____…
