2007, Form B, Question 2 · 7 points
Investment tax credit and saving incentives
Use two loanable funds graphs to show how a machinery tax credit and a lower tax on savings interest each change the real interest rate, then explain the long-run effect on the production possibilities curve.
This exam had three free-response questions with a 10 minute planning period and 50 minutes of writing, and students were told to spend about half the time on Question 1 and split the rest evenly between Questions 2 and 3. The current exam has 3 free-response questions in 60 minutes. The skills these questions practice still count.
