a decrease in the demand for loanable funds.

If the Federal Open Market Committee decides to increase the money supply, it

creates dollars and uses them to purchase government bonds from the public.

If there is a shortage of loanable funds, then the quantity of loanable funds

If the reserve requirement is 7 percent, a bank desires to hold no excess reserves, and it receives a new deposit of $200, it

must increase required reserves by $14.

The slope of the supply of loanable funds curve represents the

positive relation between the interest rate and saving.

In a closed economy, national saving equals

private saving plus public saving.

When conducting an open-market sale, the Fed

sells government bonds, and in so doing decreases the money supply.

If the quantity of loanable funds demanded exceeds the quantity of loanable funds supplied, there is a
