Answer to Question 1

There are three main factors that influence saving: disposable income, wealth, expected future disposable income, and default risk. The higher disposable income, the more people save, so an increase in disposable income shifts the supply of loanable funds curve rightward. The higher people's wealth, the less they save because they feel richer and do not see the need to save. Thus an increase wealth shifts the supply of loanable funds curve leftward. The higher the expected future disposable income, the less people save today. Thus an increase in the expected future disposable income shifts the supply of loanable funds curve leftward. Finally the higher the default risk, the less people save and so the supply of loanable funds curve shifts leftward.
