Answer to Question 1

A binding borrowing constraint means that the marginal rate of substitution is greater than 1 + r. This means that such consumers might pay an interest rate greater than r in order to shift some consumption from the future to the present. So long as (1 + the interest rate they pay) does not exceed the MRS, the utility gained from the increase in current consumption is greater than the utility lost from reduced future consumption.

Answer to Question 2

D
