This question addresses the impact of saving on an economy by examining what happens if tax laws change to induce saving and how changes in tax laws can discourage saving. The following graph shows the market for loanable funds. Show the impact of a change in the tax law that successfully encourages saving by shifting either the demand curve (D), the supply curve (S), or both. A tax law change that successfully encourages saving will (increase/decrease) interest rates, which leads to (less/more) investment and economic growth. To better understand how changes in tax laws can affect saving, suppose that Madison, a rising third-year in college, plans to save $550 from her summer job in order to buy textbooks for the upcoming fall semester. Madison's parents are so impressed with her plans that they offer to pay her an additional 30% interest per month on the money she saves, which means that Madison is now earning a large rate of return on her saving. By the end of the…

(10 pts) Describe how the following statements affect either the supply or the demand for loanable funds. For each statement below, do the following: Explain whether the event affects either the demand or the supply of loanable funds. Describe how the statement will affect the equilibrium interest rate and quantity of loanable funds. Draw a graph to demonstrate each answer. Please remember to label each part of the graph. Indicate the change in the interest rate and the quantity of loanable funds on your graph. Analyze each event independently. (Hint: Review the slides and recordings of Lecture 4 for similar graphical analysis). Statements: “The national-level saving rate is important from a macroeconomic perspective, in the sense that higher savings tend to strengthen the economy over the long run.” “Slow-trend growth is reducing the opportunities for profitable long-term investments.

Three students have each saved $1,000. Each has an investment opportunity in which he or she can invest up to $2,000.Here are the rates of return on the students' investment projects: Harry 5 percent Ron 8 percent Hermione 20 percent a. If borrowing and lending are prohibited, each student uses only personal savings to finance his or her own investment project, how much will each student have a year later when the project pays its return? b. Now suppose their school opens up a market for loanable funds in which students can borrow and lend among themselves at an interest rate r.
