Question

Assume Morocco is currently operating with an unemployment rate six percent above its natural rate of unemployment.

Draw a correctly labeled graph of the long-run aggregate supply, short-run aggregate supply, and aggregate demand curves.
1. Label the equilibrium price level PL₁ and the equilibrium real output Y₁.
2. Label the full-employment level of output Y_F.
Where on a production possibilities curve representing full employment in Morocco would current output be—on, outside, or inside the PPC?

Follow-up Question

Could you repeat the math for the change in GDP equation? The spacing of the numbers is a bit misformatted and is making it difficult for me to understand what math has been done. Thanks so much!
