Answer to Question 1

Equilibrium investment does not increase or decrease. There is no change in the amount of investment because private saving changes to precisely offset the government budget deficit. In other words, the 100 billion deficit leads to an increase in private saving of 100 billion which exactly matches the increase in the demand for loanable funds. As a result, neither the equilibrium real interest rate nor the equilibrium amount of loanable funds changes.

Answer to Question 2

B
