Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Credit rationing exists because of asymmetric information, where financial institutions cannot perfectly observe the financial conditions of firms or the willingness of firms to repay loans. Increasing the real interest rate on loans is a way for financial institutions to compensate for the asymmetric information and the associated risk of lending. Increasing the real interest rate will cause good borrowers (those that are actually good credit risks) to drop out of the market, while the bad borrowers (those that are actually not good credit risks) remain. The pool of borrowers therefore becomes even riskier. Financial institutions can compensate for this additional risk by increasing real interest rates again, but this causes even more good borrowers to withdraw from the market.
