The tax decrease makes the interest rate ______ and investment ______ in this model.

We start by identifying the effect described: a tax decrease. In many macroeconomic models, a tax cut increases leisure or after-tax income, shifting the IS curve and affecting the interest rate and investment.
Option 1: 'fall, rise' would imply that lower taxes reduce the interest rate and boost investment. This misreads the typical interaction: a higher interest rate generally accompanies a tax-driven expansion that raises demand, which tends to push rates up rather than down, and higher rates usually dampen investment rather than spur it.
Option 2: 'rise, fall' corresponds to the conventional outcome in the related model: a tax cut can raise overall demand, pushing up the equilibrium interest rate. Since investment is inversely related to the interest rate in most frameworks, a higher rate tends to reduce investment. This pairing matches the standard crowding-out mechanism where higher rates discourage additional investment.
Option 3: 'fall, not change' would mean both the rate falls and investment stays the same. A tax decrease typically stimulates the economy and changes the financing conditions, making a fall in the interest rate unlikely and investment changes more plausibly.
Option 4: 'rise, rise' would imply that both interest rate and investment rise. While higher rates could impede investment, some models allow investment to rise if the tax cut directly boosts investment incentives or expected returns sufficiently. However, in the conventional IS-LM-like framing, the dominant effect of a tax decrease is to raise rates and crowd out some investment, not to raise both.
In summary, among the options, 'rise, fall' best captures the standard outcome where the tax decrease elevates the interest rate, and the higher rate reduces investment. The other choices either contradict known relationships between rates and investment or rely on less typical dynamics.
