Solution

The correct answer is "decreases the interest rate and increases aggregate demand."

Here's why:

  1. When the money supply increases, there is more money available in the economy.

  2. This increase in money supply leads to a decrease in the interest rate because there is more money available to lend. When there is more money to lend, the cost of borrowing that money (the interest rate) decreases.

  3. A decrease in the interest rate makes borrowing cheaper. This encourages businesses to borrow more money to invest in their operations and consumers to borrow more for spending. Both of these factors lead to an increase in aggregate demand.

So, an increase in the money supply, ceteris paribus, usually decreases the interest rate and increases aggregate demand.
