Answer:
If the government sets out to make home buying easier for more people by forcing lenders to accept LOWER down payments and LOWER interest rates, the result will likely be an INCREASE in housing prices
Explanation:
If either interest rates or down payment amounts lower, the quantity demanded for houses will increase a little, possible leading to a small increase in the prices of houses.
If both interest rates and down payment amounts lower, then the quantity demanded for houses should increase a lot, which will result in an increase in the prices of houses.
This happened during the first decade of our century and everything was fine until the interest rates started to increase and people could no longer pay their mortgages and BOOM, the economy busted.

Explanation: Both the marginal cost curve and the average variable cost curve are U-shaped. For many firms, this is true because their production exhibits increasing returns at low levels of output and decreasing returns at high levels of output. At the minimum of average cost, the marginal cost curve intersects the average cost curve. This is because when marginal cost is above average cost, average cost is decreasing and when marginal cost is below average cost, average cost is decreasing.
