can you help me Underline the topic sentence for this paragraph??? Interest rates have a decidedly large impact on purchasing decisions. Interest rates affect our purchases in a couple different ways. Interest rates are what you pay for the use of someone else's money. When the rates are low you pay less for the money and can afford to buy more, if you buy based on payments. Lower interest rates give businesses more incentive to invest and increase investment which makes the economy grow faster. With lower interest rates it should make it easier for farmers and manufacturers to borrow to invest in equipment and buildings. . Lower interest rates allow more people to buy and more people to purchase more expensive homes.
