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 an increase in the maximum contribution, from $5,000 to $8,000 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 to
and the level of
investment spending to
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
