Suppose that the demand for laonable funds for car in the Milwaukee area is $11million per month at an interest rate of 10 percent per year, $12million at an interest rate of 9 percent per year, $13million at an interest rate of 8 percent per year and so on. a. If the supply of loanable funds is fixed at $17million, what will be the equilibrium interest rate?
b. If the government imposes a usury law and says that car loans cannot exceed 3 percent per year, how big will the monthly shortage (or excess demand) for car loans be?
c. How big will the monthly shortage for car loans be if the usury limit is raised to 7 percent per year?
