b. The quantity of real loanable funds per time period and net nonreserve-related international borrowing/lending remain the same.
c. There is not enough information to determine what happens to these two macroeconomic variables.
d. The quantity of real loanable funds per time period falls, and net nonreserve-related international borrowing/lending becomes more positive (or less negative).
