Suppose that for the entire economy, no investment projects will yield an expected real return of more than 12%. However, $10 billion worth of projects will yield expected real returns of 9.1% to 12%, an additional $10 billion will yield expected real returns of 6.1% to 9%, an additional $10 billion will yield expected real returns of 3.1% to 6%, and an additional $10 billion will yield expected real returns of 0% to 3%. If the real rate of interest is 6%, desired investment spending will be:
A)$0 billion.
B)$10 billion.
C)$20 billion.
D)$30 billion.
3

A)the interest rate decreases.
B)the interest rate increases.
C)expected returns on investment increase.
D)business taxes increase.
