Suppose that the government changes the tax code to allow additional amounts of money to be placed in 401(k) retirement accounts, increasing the extent to which people can delay their tax obligations. Show the effect by shifting the appropriate curve in the market for loanable funds. What are the new equilibrium real interest rate and the quantity of loanable funds? 5.0 4.5 4.0 3.5 3.0 Supply Real interest rate: Interest rate 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 0.0 0 20 40 40 % Loanable funds: $ Demand 60 80 100 120 Loanable funds (millions) 140 160 180 200 million

Label it DLF0. Draw a supply of loanable funds curve. Label it SLF0. Draw a point at the equilibrium real interest rate and quantity of loanable funds. Label it 1.          Draw a curve that shows a decrease in the demand for loanable funds. Label it DLF1. Draw a curve that shows a smaller decrease in the supply of loanable funds. Label it SLF1. Draw a point at the new equilibrium real interest rate and quantity of loanable funds. Label it 2.

Indicate the Quantity demanded and Quantity supplied of loanable funds if the Interest rates increases by 2% (from the equilibrium rate). would changed in interest rate cause a movement along the curve or shift?

Suppose there are two types of investment in the economy: business fixed investment and residential investment. Suppose that loanable fund market is in equilibrium and the government grants an investment tax credit only for business investment. How does this policy affect the supply and demand for loanable funds, the equilibrium interest rate and equilibrium quantity of loanable funds? Use graph to explain your answer.

This figure shows the loanable funds market for a closed economy. INTEREST RATE (Percent) 09 2 E с 50 100 150 LOANABLE FUNDS (Dollars) D₂ o Refer to Figure 26-4. Starting at point A, the enactment of an investment tax credit would likely cause the quantity of loanable funds traded to increase to $150 and the interest rate to rise to 6% (point C). decrease to $50 and the interest rate to fall to 2% (point B). decrease to $50 and the interest rate to rise to 6% (point E). increase to $150 and the interest rate to fall to 2% (point D).
