True or False: The income effect describes a change in the interest rate due to a change in the Real GDP. O True O False The following graph shows the supply and demand curves in the market for loanable funds. Consider an increase in the Real GDP. INTEREST RATE Adjust the following graph to show the effect of this increase in the Real GDP. QUANTITY OF LOANABLE FUNDS The liquidity effect The price-level effect SLF The income effect The expectations effect DIF DLF Which of the following refer to changes that affect the demand for loanable funds but not the supply?

Table  shows the amount of savings and borrowing in a market, measured in millions of dollars, at various interest rates. What is the equilibrium interest rate and quantity in the capital financial market? Now, imagine the supply curve shifts so that there will be $50 million less supplied at every interest rate. Calculate the current and the new equilibrium interest rate and quantity, and explain the situation: the reasons of decrease of supply and what new equilibrium mean.

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.) INTEREST RATE (Percent) Supply Demand LOANABLE FUNDS (Billions of dollars) Demand Supply (?) 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.

17. What makes up the supply curve in the loanable funds market? Why does this curve have a positive relationship with the real interest rate?
