Problem Set 4: Saving and Investment Economists in Fantasialand, a closed economy, have collected the following information about the economy for a particular year: Y = 9000; C = 6000; T = 1500; G = 1700. The economists also estimate that the investment function is: I = 3300 - 100r, where r is the country’s real interest rate, expressed as a percentage (i.e. r = 1 means interest rate is one percent). Calculate private saving, public saving, national saving, investment, and the equilibrium real interest rate.
For the following scenarios, use the supply and demand graph to predict the resulting changes in the real interest rate, national saving. and investment. Instructions: Click and drag the appropriate line or lines in the graph to answer the question. New environmental regulations increase firms' costs of operating capital.

Scenario 2: An investment tax credit effectively lowers the tax bill of any firm that purchases new capital in the relevant time period. Suppose the government repeals a previously existing investment tax credit. Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to reflect this change. The repeal of the previously existing tax credit causes the interest rate to _____ and the level of saving to _______
Assume that a national restaurant firm called BBQ builds 10 new restaurants at a cost of $ 1 million per restaurant. It outfits each restaurant with an additional $ 200,000 of equipment and furnishings. To help partially defray the cost of this expansion, BBQ issues and sells 200,000 shares of stock at $ 30 per share. A) What is the amount of economic investment that has resulted from BBBQ's actions? ( in millions) B)How much purely financial investment took place?
INTEREST RATE (Percent) Demand LOANABLE FUNDS (Billions of dollars) Supply Demand Supply ? Scenario 1: Suppose savers either buy bonds or make deposits in savings accounts at banks. Initially, the interest income earned on bonds or deposits is taxed at a rate of 18%. Now suppose there is an increase in the tax rate on interest income, from 18% to 22%.
Use the orange line (square point) to graph the new supply of loanable funds as a result of this government policy to borrow $20 billion more next year than this year.

Scenario 1: Suppose savers either buy bonds or make deposits in savings accounts at banks. Initially, the interest income earned on bonds or deposits is taxed at a rate of 20%. Now suppose there is a decrease in the tax rate on interest income, from 20% to 15%. Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to reflect this change. This change in the tax treatment of saving causes the equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds to and the level of investment spending to
Assume that GDP ( y) is 6.000. Consumption (C) is given by the equation C= 600 + 06(Y-T). Investment (I )is given by the equation I=2,000- 100r, where r is the real rate of interest in percent. Taxes (T) are government spending (G) is also 500 a. What are the equilibrium values of C, I, and r? b) What are the values of private saving, public saving, and national saving? ·
The firm you work for wants you to provide some insight into the investment environment in Mexico before deciding to enter the market. You conduct some research and find a large dispersion of MRPK across firms in Mexico. You also notice that state-owned firms have lower MRPK. Which of the following observations can you make? (there can be more than 1) Firms in Mexico have a hard time expanding due to constraints on the labor market Private firms are at an advantage in Mexico as they face lower capital costs than those owned by the state Resources are likely misallocated because capital is not flowing from firms with low MRPK to firms with high MRPK Your firm may find it more costly to borrow than its state-owned competitors
Again, the following graph depicts the market for loanable funds. An investment tax credit effectively lowers the tax bill of any firm that purchases new capital in the relevant time period. Suppose the government repeals a previously existing investment tax credit. Shift the appropriate curve(s) on the following graph to show the impact of this policy. REAL INTEREST RATE (Percent) Supply Demand QTY OF LOANABLE FUNDS (Billions of dollars) The repeal of the previously existing tax credit causes the real interest rate to and the level of investment to
