Draw the aggregate demand and short-run aggregate supply curves.
What is the initial real GDP?
What is the initial price level?
What kind of gap, if any, exists?
After the increase in health-care costs, each level of real GDP requires an increase in the price level of o.8. For
example, producing $9.0 trillion worth of goods and services now requires a price level of 3.8. What is the short-
run equilibrium level of real GDP?
After the health-care cost increase, what is the new equilibrium price level in the short run?
What sort of gap, if any, now exists?
