Solution

Based on the IS-LM model, a tax cut would typically increase disposable income, leading to an increase in consumption and thus an increase in aggregate demand. This shift in aggregate demand would typically move the economy along the IS curve to a point of higher income and interest rate.

However, the question specifies that the central bank is holding the interest rate constant. This means that the central bank is adjusting the money supply to offset any changes in money demand, keeping the interest rate constant.

In this case, the increase in aggregate demand from the tax cut would cause an increase in income, but not a change in the interest rate. This increase in income could lead to an increase in investment spending, as firms respond to higher demand for their products.

So, the answer to the question is: a tax cut "must cause investment spending to increase".
