- The following graph shows the market for loanable funds in a closed economy. The upward-sloping orange line represents the supply of loanable funds, and the downward-sloping blue line represents the demand for loanable funds. (Graph in image) (a. Saving, b. Investment) is the source of the supply of loanable funds. As the interest rate falls, the quantity of loanable funds supplied (a. increases, b. decreases). Suppose the interest rate is 4.5%. Based on the previous graph, the quantity of loanable funds supplied is (a. greater, b. less) than the quantity of loans demanded, resulting in a (a. surplus, b. shortage) of loanable funds. This would encourage lenders to (a. raise, b. lower) the interest rates they charge, thereby (a. increasing, b. decreasing) the quantity of loanable funds supplied and (a. increasing, b. decreasing) the quantity of loanable funds demanded, moving the market toward the equilibrium interest rate of ____ %.arrow_forwardDraw a correctly labeled graph of the loanable funds market showing the equilibrium real interest rate and the equilibrium quantity of loanable funds.arrow_forwardUsing a graph for the loanable funds market of this economy, show what are the effect on the equilibrium real interest rate and quantity of investment if a.
