Use the loanable funds market to illustrate the effect of the following events on the equilibrium. Illustrate the effects on the interest rate and quantity of investment-savings (explain thoroughly):
a) The proportion of retired people in the population goes up. Think that usually retired people generally save less than working people at any interest rate.
b) At any given interest rate, consumers decide to save more (assume the budget balance is zero).
c) At any given interest rate, businesses become very optimistic about the future profitability of investment spending (assume the budget balance is zero).

4. Assume that the equilibrium in the loanable funds market is at interest rate of 1.25% and quantity of funds at $20 billion. Suppose the current government deficit is zero so government is not borrowing any money. a) Suppose now government increases spending by $2 billion and finances it entirely by borrowing. This deficit increases equilibrium interest rate to 2% and equilibrium quantity of funds to $21.5. Show the changes on the graph. b) What happens to private investment (I)...
