Explanation of Solution

An investment schedule depicts the levels of investment made at different levels of gross domestic product (GDP). If the level of national income is higher, then the level of investment would be high and vice versa. It shows that there is a positive relationship which exists among GDP or the national income and investment.

Whereas, the investment demand curve shows the level of investment made at different levels of interest rate and expected return. If the expected return from the investment is greater, then the level of investment is higher and vice versa. Thus, there is a positive relationship between the investment demand and expected return.

If the interest rate is higher, then the cost of borrowing would be greater which in turn reduces the return from the investment. Thus, increasing interest leads to reduce the demand for investment and vice versa. There is a negative relationship exist among the demand for investment and interest rate.
