Question:
Suppose that, prior to the passage of the Truth in Lending Simplification Act and Regulation Z, the demand for consumer loans was given by Qdpre-TILSA= 10 -80P (in billions of dollars) and the supply of consumer loans by credit unions and other lending institutions was QSpre-TILSA= 4 + 120P (in billions of dollars). The TILSA now requires lenders to provide consumers with complete information about the rights and responsibilities of entering into a lending relationship with the institution, and as a result, the demand for loans increased to Qdpost-TILSA= 16 -80P (in billions of dollars). However, the TILSA also imposed "compliance costs" on lending institutions, and this reduced the supply of consumer loans to QSpost-TILSA= 2 + 120P (in billions of dollars).
Based on this information, compare the equilibrium price and quantity of consumer loans before and after the Truth in Lending Simplification Act.(Note:Q is measured in billions of dollars and P is the interest rate).
Instruction: Enter your responses for the equilibrium price in percentage terms, and round all responses to one decimal place.
Equilibrium price (interest rate) before TILSA:percent
Equilibrium quantity (in billions of dollars) before TILSA: $billion
Equilibrium price (interest rate) after TILSA:percent
Equilibrium quantity (in billions of dollars) after TILSA: $billion
