Exhibit: Saving, Investment, and the Interest Rate    The economy begins in equilibrium at point E, representing the real interest rate r1 at which saving S1 equals desired investment I1. What will be the new equilibrium combination of the real interest rate, saving, and investment if there is a tax law change that makes investment projects less profitable and decreases the demand for investment goods (but does not change the amount of taxes collected in the economy)?

Assume that the investment function is given by I = 1,000 − 30r, where r is the real rate of interest (in percent). Assume further that the nominal rate of interest is 10 percent and that the inflation rate is 2 percent. According to the investment function, investment will be:
