Explanation of Solution

The demand of the money in the economy builds when the interest rate lags the equilibrium interest rate. In such situation, people will not invest in the bond market and will try to get a hold of the money as because of the fear of unprofitability. On the contrary, the requirement of the loan in the time period when the interest rate levels down will increase gradually resulting in the increment of the price of the loan.

The supply of the money in the economy builds when the interest rate exceeds the equilibrium interest rate because in such a situation, people will invest in the bond market and will try to spend the money in hand because of the probability of profit.On the contrary, the requirement of the loan in the time period when the interest rate levels up will increase gradually resulting in the decrement of the price of the loan.
