5. The slope and position of the long-run aggregate supply curve Suppose the Fed doubles the growth rate of the quantity of money in the economy. In the long run, the increase in money growth will change which of the following? Check all that apply. O The inflation rate O The quantity of physical capital O The size of the labor force O The price level Suppose the economy produces real GDP of $30 billion when unemployment is at its natural rate. Use the purple points (diamond symbol) to piot the economy's long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) curve on the graph. 132 128 LRAS 124 120 116 112 108 104 100 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 OUTPUT (Billions of dollars) Suppose the government passes a law that reduces unemployment benefits in a way that causes unemployed workers to seek out new jobs more quickly. The policy will cause the natural rate of unemployment to fall , which will: Shift the long-run aggregate supply curve to the left Shift the long-run aggregate supply curve to the right Not affect…

Arrange these statements in sequence to explain why the short run aggregate supply (SR AS) curve slopes upward. Suppositions as a starting point Conclusion as to why the SR AS curve slopes upward Answer Bank At the macroeconomic level, the increase in aggregate demand (AD) corresponds to a shift in the firms' demand curve, whereas the firms'supply curve remains fixed. Since customers are demanding more of the firms'product, the firms' demand curves increase, which increases prices and output. The firms'willingness to supply more output at a higher price at a micro level shows a positive relationship, which is then also reflected at the macro level with an upward sloping SR AS curve.
