Answer to Question 1

Firms make a decision about whether to undertake an investment based upon the benefit of the investment, the expected profit, versus the opportunity cost of making the investment, the real interest rate. For any particular investment firms compare the expected profit to the real interest rate. If the expected profit exceeds the real interest rate the firm will undertake the investment. If the expected profit is less than the real interest rate the firm will not undertake the investment.
