Need help with this. Please show how to do the graphs. I showed with lines where you can move them to and of course while you read the paragraphs you will be able to know it. Thanks!
![Now, suppose prices remain higher than expected. As a result, in the next round of labor negotiations, unions demand and obtain higher wages
for their members. The following graph shows the long-run aggregate supply curve (LRAS) at full-employment output for this economy as well
as the same initial short-run aggregate supply curve as in the first graph. Shift one or both of these lines to illustrate how the economy adjusts
to a new long-run equilibrium.
