Scenario 1: Suppose savers either buy bonds or make deposits in savings accounts at banks. Initially, the interest income earned on bonds or deposits is taxed at a rate of 20%. Now suppose there is a decrease in the tax rate on interest income, from 20% to 15%. 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 to and the level of investment spending to

Use the graph to answer the question that follows. Quantity of Loanable Funds (S) Assume that the loanable funds market is in equilibrium, as shown in the graph.If households become concerned about retirement income and spend less,what will happen in this market for loanable funds? O The demand for funds will increase, as will the equilibrium interest rate. O Both the demand for funds and the supply of funds will decrease, with an indeterminate impact on the equilibrium interest rate. ) The demand for funds will decrease, and the equilibrium quantity of funds transacted will erease below Fo. O Both the demand for funds and the supply of funds will icrease, with an increase in the quantity of funds transacted. O The supply of funds will increase, and the equilibrium interest rate wi fall blow ro. Real Interest Rate
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…

Scenario 1: Suppose savers either buy bonds or make deposits in savings accounts at banks. Initially, the interest income earned on bonds or deposits is taxed at a rate of 20%. Now suppose there is an increase in the tax rate on interest income, from 20% to 25%. 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 decrease/Increase Scenario 2: An investment tax credit effectively lowers the tax bill of any firm that purchases new capital in the 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 to Fall/Rise and the level of investment to Fall/Rise . Scenario 3: Initially, the government's budget is…

Suppose that for each one-percentage-point increase in the interest rate, the level of investment spending declines by $1.25 billion. by According to the change you made to the loanable funds market in the previous scenario, the increase in government purchases causes the interest rate in the money market to from 6% to %. The change in the interest rate causes the level of investment spending to $ billion. by After the multiplier effect is accounted for, the change in investment spending will cause the quantity of output demanded to $ billion at each price level. The impact of an increase in government purchases on the interest rate and the level of investment spending is known as the effect. Place the purple line (diamond…
