A) and B) are both correct. Lower interest rates encourage more spending, but also more borrowing, so the overall effect is ambiguous.

D) The cost of borrowing goes down. That's the whole point of lowering interest rates - to make it cheaper for people and businesses to borrow money.

A) People spend more. Lower interest rates make borrowing cheaper, so people are more likely to spend.

I’m a bit lost here. I thought lower rates might slow down the economy, but that seems counterintuitive.

This question reminds me of a practice one we did where lower rates were linked to economic growth. So, I might go with A as well.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about lower interest rates usually leading to increased borrowing and spending.

I think when interest rates go down, people are encouraged to spend more, so I would lean towards A.

I feel pretty good about this one. Lowering interest rates is a classic way for the government to stimulate the economy and encourage more spending. So A is the right answer in my opinion.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Is it asking about the most likely consequence, or the intended effect? Because sometimes government policies don't have the intended effect. I'll have to carefully consider all the options.

Okay, let me walk through this logically. Lower interest rates make borrowing cheaper, so people will be more inclined to spend on big purchases like houses and cars. That seems like the most direct effect, so I'll go with A.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know lower interest rates usually lead to more spending, but I'm not 100% confident that's the "most likely" consequence. Might need to think this through a bit more.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I think the answer is A - people will spend more if interest rates go down.
