What is interest rate?
CEVAP:
Interest rate is the cost of borrowing funds. Interest Rate: The investment objective of
a firm is to be able to obtain profit from this investment. For this reason, the higher the expected profitability of the investments is, the higher the investment amount will be. The main factor determining whether an investment is profitable is the interest rate. Interest rate can be defined as the cost of borrowing funds. A large part of the investment expenditures made by the enterprises is covered by borrowing.

will decrease and when the interest rate falls, investments will increase.
