Answer to Question 1

Investment decreases. The government budget deficit increases the demand for loanable funds and, as a result, the real interest rate rises. The increase in the real interest rate decreases the quantity of investment. However, the decrease in investment is less than 100 billion because the higher real interest rate also increases the quantity of private saving.
