1.) Use the line drawing tool to show the effects of an adverse aggregate supply shock such as a decline in worker productivity. Properly label this line.
2.) Use the point drawing tool to identify the new long-run equilibrium. Label this point 'B'.
**Graph Explanation:**
The graph on the right shows the current equilibrium in the economy, where the Long-Run Aggregate Supply (LRAS¹), Short-Run Aggregate Supply (SRAS¹), and Aggregate Demand (AD¹) curves intersect at point 'A'. The vertical axis represents the Price Level (P), and the horizontal axis represents Output (Y).
- **AD¹ (Aggregate Demand):** Downward sloping curve.
- **SRAS¹ (Short-Run Aggregate Supply):** Upward sloping curve.
- **LRAS¹ (Long-Run Aggregate Supply):** Vertical line.
The task is to illustrate how an adverse aggregate supply shock, such as a decline in worker productivity, affects the SRAS curve and to find the new long-run equilibrium point, designated as 'B'.
