The supply of loanable funds curve is SLF0 and the demand for loanable funds curve is DLF0. An expansion that increases disposable income and expected profit shifts the supply of loanable funds curve rightward to curve SLF1 and does not shift the demand for loanable funds curve.

3. Supply and demand for loanable funds The following graph shows the market for loanable funds in a closed economy. The upward-sloping orange line represents the supply of loanable funds, and the downward-sloping blue line represents the demand for loanable funds. Supply Demand INTEREST RATE (Percent) LOANABLE FUNDS (Billions of dollars) is the source of the supply of loanable funds. As the interest rate falls, the quantity of loanable funds supplied Suppose the interest rate is 4.5%. Based on the previous graph, the quantity of loanable funds supplied is than the quantity of loans demanded, resulting in a of loanable funds. This would encourage lenders to the interest rates they charge, thereby the quantity of loanable funds supplied and the quantity of loanable funds demanded, moving the market toward the equilibrium interest rate of %.
An increase in the real interest rate a. shifts the supply of loanable funds curve to the right. b. shifts the supply of loanable funds curve to the left. c. shifts the loanable funds demand curve to the right. d. shifts the loanable funds demand curve to the left. e. does none of the above.
