left and decreases if money supply shifts left.
In a closed economy, private saving is
the amount of income that households have left after paying for their taxes and consumption.
Refer to Figure 30-1. When the money supply curve shifts from MS1 to MS2,
the equilibrium value of money decreases.
The nominal interest rate is 6 percent and the inflation rate is 3 percent. What is the real interest rate?

Refer to Figure 26-3. A shift of the demand curve from D1 to D2 is called
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
demanded is greater than the quantity of loanable funds supplied and the interest rate will rise.
If the Fed raised the reserve requirement, the demand for reserves would
increase, so the federal funds rate would rise.
Katleen is considering expanding her dress shop. If interest rates rise she is
less likely to expand. This illustrates why the demand for loanable funds slopes downward.

more, making the quantity of loanable funds supplied increase.
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
