Answer to Question 1

The real interest rate changes to eliminate the shortage of funds. A shortage of funds means that businesses want to borrow more than households are willing to loan. (Alternatively, the quantity of loanable funds demanded exceeds the quantity of loanable funds supplied.) The shortage of funds means that some businesses are willing to pay a higher interest rate in order to secure a loan. The real interest rate rises, and as it does so, the quantity of loanable funds demanded decreases (that is, the quantity of investment demanded decreases) and the quantity of loanable funds supplied increases (that is, the quantity of savings increases). Both changes help eliminate the shortage of loanable funds, and so the real interest rate rises until it reaches its equilibrium value.

Answer to Question 2

D
