Owens · Answer 1

The interest rate will probably increase because the money supply curve will probably have a relatively small shift.

Explanation:

An interest rate is the cost of borrowing money.

Interest provides a certain compensation for bearing risk.

Interest rate levels are a factor of the supply and demand of credit.

The interest rate for each different type of loan depends on the credit risk, time, tax considerations, and convertibility of the particular loan.
