a) If the government borrowing increases then there will be a
lesser level of loanable funds in the market for private
borrowing.
This is known as 'crowding out' effect and this will cause a rise
in the interest rates. The supply curve will shift towards left and
interest rates will rise.
b) The rise in interest rate will raise the cost of capital and
borrowing will become costly and that will depress the
investment.
However, the rise in interest rates means saving will be attractive
and that will lead to a higher level of saving in the
economy.
The magnitude of rising in interest rate will depend upon the
loanable funds available in the economy as well as the earlier
level of government borrowing. If the $20 billion rise is
proportionately higher to the earlier level then it will affect
interest rates to a higher extent. The increase in interest rate
will then incentivize saving and disincentivize borrowing.
Public savings will be negative if there is a deficit. national
saving will depend upon the magnitude of rise in private saving and
a decrease in public saving.
c) The supply of loanable funds tends to be higher at the higher
level of the interest rate because supply tends to be upward
sloping. So if supply is elastic then the interest rate will change
according to the elasticity of supply. The higher elasticity means
the interest rate will change by a higher level and that will make
saving further attractive.
On the other hand, inelastic supply means the change in the
interest rate won't be material.
d) If the elasticity of demand is elastic then a higher level of interest rate means the demand will be lower drastically and investment will affect. If the demand is inelastic then it won't affect demand and investment will not change materially.
e) If the people assume that the higher borrowing now will be
compensated by future tax rise then it will force the people to
save more as they will try to adjust the future cash outflow by
saving more and consumption will be lower further.
This will increase private savings.
The level of investment will be lower as compared to mentioned
earlier and savings will be higher.

Let assume an economy in this year with the following loanable funds (LF) market demand equation. Demand: r = 8 – 0.005 * Qp Where, r is the real interest rate (ifr=12 then the interest rate is 12%), Q, in the quantity demanded of loanable funds (total investment). The government expenditures (G) is $300 billion, collected taxes (T) equal to $700 billion, and private saving is $800 billion. 1. Calculate the value of government savings in this economy. Is the...
