Respuesta :

Answer:

d. negative relation between the real interest rate and investment.

Explanation:

The demand curve for loanable funds is a downward sloping curve, with interest as the independent variable.

Such because 'demand' for 'investment' i.e loanable funds is inversely related to 'price' of loanable funds i.e their interest.

  • At higher interest rate : loanable funds & investment is expensive, so it is demanded less
  • At lower interest rate : loanable funds & investment is cheaper, so it is demanded more.
