Rate of Return On Capital
The "rate of return on capital" is taken into account when determining the demand for loanable funds. This is the additional revenue that a firm can earn from its employment of new capital, and is usually measured as a percentage rate per unit of time, which is why it is called the rate of return on capital. As long as the rate of return on capital is greater than or equal to the interest rate on paid on funds borrowed, firms will continue to demand loanable funds.

“At this very moment,... the most frightful horrors are taking place in every corner of the world. People are being crushed, slashed, disembowelled, mangled; their dead bodies rot and their eyes decay with the rest. Screams of pain and fear go pulsing through the air at the rate of eleven hundred feet per second. After travelling for three seconds they are perfectly inaudible. These are distressing facts; but do we enjoy life any the less because of them? Most certainly we do not.”
