- In the market for loanable funds, there is a demand and supply of loanable funds represent as the following equations Demand:r 10.4-0.003Q Supply r=0.005Q What is the equilibrium interest rate in the market? You only need to provide the number and you do not need to multiply by 100% Instructions if the answer is not a whole number you should leave two numbers after the decimal Eg If the answer is 10.2778 it can be entered as 10.29 if negative write-10.28 AnswerPredict how each of the following economic changes will affect the equilibrium price and quantity in the financial market for home loans. Sketch a demand and supply diagram to support your answers. Because of a threat of war, people become uncertain about their economic future. The overall level of saving in the economy diminishes. The federal government changes its bank regulations in a way that makes it cheaper and easier for banks to make home loans.Scenario 1: Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) allow workers to shelter a portion of their income from taxation. Suppose the maximum annual contribution to accounts of this type is $6,000 per person. Now suppose there is an increase in the maximum contribution, from $6,000 to $9,000 per year. Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to reflect this change. This change in the tax treatment of saving causes the equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds tofall and the level of investment spending toincrease . Scenario 2: An investment tax credit effectively lowers the tax bill of any firm that purchases new capital within some relevant time period. Suppose the government implements a new investment tax credit. Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to reflect this change. The implementation of the new tax credit causes the interest rate tofall and the level of saving tofall . Scenario 3: Initially, the government's budget is balanced; then…

The market for loanable funds and government policy The following graph shows the loanable funds market. For each of the given scenarios, adjust the appropriate curve on the graph to help you complete the questions that follow. Consider each scenario separately by returning the graph to its starting position when moving from one scenario to the next. (Note: You will not be graded on any changes you make to the graph.) INTEREST RATE (Percent) Supply Demand LOANABLE FUNDS (Billions of dollars) Demand Supply ?INTEREST RATE (Percent) 12 11 10 9 co 5 4 3 2 1 0 Supply Demand 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000 1100 1200 LOANABLE FUNDS (Billions of dollars) ? Investment is the source of the supply of loanable funds. As the interest rate falls, the quantity of loanable funds supplied decreases Suppose the interest rate is 5.5%. Based on the previous graph, the quantity of loanable funds supplied is greater than the quantity of loans demanded, resulting in a surplus of loanable funds. This would encourage lenders to lower the interest rates they charge, thereby decreasing the quantity of loanable funds supplied and increasing the quantity of loanable funds demanded, moving the market toward the equilibrium interest rate of 5%
