Effects of Government Spending and Real Interest Rate on IS Curve

An increase in government spending shifts the IS curve to the right.
A decrease in the real interest rate increases planned investment spending, leading to an increase in total planned spending and a shift to the right of the IS curve.
The equation for the IS curve is not provided.
A decrease in the real interest rate from r1 to r2 increases planned investment.
The real interest rate and investment spending have a negative relationship on the IS curve.

LM Curve

The Theory of Liquidity Preference is concerned with the demand and supply of money.
A reduction in cash usage due to Covid-19 safety precautions increases the demand for money, leading to an upward shift of the LM curve.
A decrease in real money demand shifts the LM curve to the right.
An increase in real interest rates leads to a decrease in the demand for money, shifting the LM curve to the left.
