Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Question**:
2. Draw an AD-AS graph at equilibrium. Suppose there is an increase in government spending. Which curve will shift? Draw the new equilibrium.
**Guidance for Educational Website**:
To illustrate the effects of an increase in government spending on an economy, follow these steps on the AD-AS graph:
1. **Initial Equilibrium**: Begin with the AD-AS model. The axes represent price level (vertical axis) and real GDP/output (horizontal axis). At equilibrium, the Aggregate Demand (AD) curve intersects the Aggregate Supply (AS) curve.
2. **Impact of Increased Government Spending**: An increase in government spending will shift the AD curve to the right. This is because government spending is a component of aggregate demand.
3. **New Equilibrium**: The rightward shift of the AD curve leads to a new intersection point with the AS curve, representing a higher output and price level in the economy.
**Graph Explanation**:
- **Initial Equilibrium**: Point where AD and AS intersect.
- **Shift**: AD curve shifts right due to increased government spending.
- **New Equilibrium**: New intersection of AD and AS, indicating increased output and higher price level.

Transcribed Image Text:**Instructions**
You will draw four separate Aggregate-Demand/Aggregate-Supply graphs. Each graph will have one curve shift. Be sure to label axes, curves, and equilibrium. Change colors to show the shift and label the new equilibrium.
