The graph represents the market for loanable funds in the hypothetical country of Bunko. Assume the market is initially in equilibrium and inflation expectations are \( 2 \% \). a. Adjust the graph to demonstrate the effects of inflation expectations increasing from \( 2 \% \) to \( 4 \% \). b. What is the real interest rate after the change in inflation expectations? \( \square \) c. Which effect below characterizes the relationship Market for Loanable Funds between inflation expectations and nominal interest rates?

If the inflation rate increases by 5 percent a year, explain and use appropriate graphs to illustrate the effect of the rise in inflation on a. The tax rate on capital income. b. The supply of loanable funds. c. The demand for loanable funds. d. Equilibrium investment. e. The equilibrium real interest rate.

The unanticipated change in inflation arbitrarily benefits A) borrowers or B) lenders . Now consider the long-run impact of the change in money growth and inflation. According to the Fisher effect, as expectations adjust to the new, higher inflation rate, the nominal interest rate will A) rise or B) fall to % per year.
