Answer:
The correct answer is Allocative efficiency.
Explanation:
Although there are different evaluation standards for the concept of allocation efficiency, the basic principle states that, in any economic system, the different options in the allocation of resources will produce both "winners" and "losers" in relation to the choice being evaluated. The principles of rational choice theory, individual maximization, utilitarianism and market theory assume, in addition, that the results for both winners and losers can be identified, compared and measured.
From these basic premises, the objective of maximizing the efficiency in the allocation can be defined according to some neutral principle in which some options are considered “objectively better than others”. For example, an economist might say that a change in policy increases the efficiency of allocation, as long as those who benefit from the change (winners) earn more than the losers lose.

Answer:
a. Savers who lend money are willing to accept a lower minimum interest rate than potential savers who do not lend money.
b. Investment projects that are financed by savers have larger rates of return than projects that do not receive financing.
Explanation:
Loanable funds refer to the aggregate amount of money that all sectors, entities and individuals within an economy have decided to keep as an investment, instead of spending on personal consumption, by saving and giving them out as loans to borrowers.
The market for loanable funds is in equilibrium when the supply of loanable funds by the saver is equal to demand for loanable funds by the borrowers at a given interest rate.
When the market for loanable funds is in equilibrium, efficiency is maximized because projects that have higher rates of return are given priority to be funded first before the projects with lower rates of return are funded. The reason is that savers that have lowest costs of lending provides funds for the projects that have highest return rates in equilibrium. However, potential saver who do not lend money will prefer a higher interest rates.
Therefore, the correct options related to the two aspects of efficiency that the equilibrium of market for loanable funds exhibits are as follows:
a. Savers who lend money are willing to accept a lower minimum interest rate than potential savers who do not lend money.
b. Investment projects that are financed by savers have larger rates of return than projects that do not receive financing.
