During the financial crisis it was proposed that firms be provided with a tax credit for investment projects. Such a tax credit would shift:   a. the demand for loanable funds left and shift the supply of dollars in the market for foreign-currency exchange right.   b. both the demand for loanable funds and the supply of dollars in the market for foreign-currency exchange right.   c. both the demand for loanable funds and the supply of dollars in the market for foreign-currency exchange left.   d. the demand for loanable funds right and shift the supply of dollars in the market for foreign-currency exchange left.

41. Suppose that government institutes an investment tax credit and such policy generates an increase in the government budget deficit. This would: a. shift the saving curve (i.e. supply of loanable funds) to the left. b. cause the real interest rate to fall.

If business saving is 15 percent of GNP and government saving is 4 percent of GNP, what percent of GNP is personal saving?b. Explain why a federal budget surplus increases national saving while a budget deficit decreases national saving.c. How can a federal budget deficit increase market equilibrium interest rates and reduce private investment and future economic growth?
