Why does the demand curve for loanable funds slope downward from left to right? Oa) Interest rates on loanable funds typically decline over time. O b) The interest rate on a loan is directly proportional to demand. OC) The lower a loan's interest rate, the more firms want the loan. Od) Demand for loanable funds decreases more often than it increases. O e) The greater the demand for loanable funds, the more the curve shifts.
