QUESTION 1 Aggregate Demand (AD) Is drawn with price level, average price for everything in the economy relative to the base year price, (not the dollar price) on the vertical axis and Real GDP demanded on the horizontal axis. Use the numbers from the following table and calculate the Real GDP Demanded using expenditure approach of GDP, and plot all the points on the Aggregate Demand. Connect all the points to draw the aggregate demand. [Review Chapter 5 powerpoints, textbook and Internet source to find what numbers have tolbe added to get each of the points In the Aggregate Demand curve.] (国 Real GDP Demanded (AD): C+l+G+ (X-M) Real GDP Supplied: Ageregate Supply (AS) $680 Price Level 110 $400 $185 $150 $55 $50 115 390 180 150 50 50 720 120 380 175 150 45 50 750 125 370 170 150 40 50 780 130 360 165 150 35 50 810 8.
