Answer: b) Investment demand had been greater than savings
Explanation:
Investment in the economy comes from savings by households also known as Loanable funds. If investment demand is higher than the savings supply this demand will pull the interest rate up due to a lack of loanable funds.
As the interest rates are pulled up, more people will be encouraged to save their money in other to benefit from the higher interest rates thereby increasing the loanable funds in the market.

Note:
I wasn't able to access the Chester Income Statement but I successfully accessed a similar question Digby.
The Complete Question is as under:
Refer to the HR Reports in the Inquirer. Through past investments in recruiting and training Digby has obtained a productivity index of 109.6%. This means that Digby's labor costs would be increased by 9.6% if it did not have these productivity improvements. This is a competitive advantage that Digby can sustain or even widen further if its competitors have no HR initiatives. Now, refer to the Income Statement in Digby's Annual Report. How much did Digby's productivity improvements save it in direct labor costs (in thousands) last year?
A. $766
B. $29818
C. $3137
D. $3211
Answer:
Option D. $3,137
Explanation:
The Productivity Index of 9.6% shows that if the improvement plan is implemented then the efficiency gains would result in saving of 9.6% of total direct cost. So if we total the direct cost for the year for all of the four products then we have an amount of $32,680 which is given at the second last column.
The amount saved last year would be:
Savings = $32,680 * 9.6% = $3,137
Hence the option C is correct here.
<span>A good example of a market data approach is a real estate business that shares data on new home purchases between the unit that sells insurance for the home and the business unit that sold the home. A market data approach allows businesses to find and sell to consumers that fit the description of their products. They can read market data that is collected from one agency and use it to sell them their product as well because they are hand in hand products. </span>
The formula for calculating the Confidence Interval is as
follows:
Confidence Interval = x +- (z*s)/√N
Where:
x = mean = 10.36
z = taken from standard normal distribution table based on 95%
confidence level = 1.96
s = standard deviation = 5.31
N = sample size = 30
Substituting know values on the equation:
Confidence Interval = 10.36 +- ( 1.96 * 5.31) / √30
Confidence Interval = 8.46 and 12.26
Hence the bill of lunch orders ranges from 8.46 to 12.26.
