Question

The horizontal axis is labeled real output. Points Q 1, Q subscript f, and Q 2 are marked on the horizontal axis from left to right. The vertical axis is labeled price level. Points P 1, P 2, and P 3 are marked on the vertical axis from bottom to top. A rising line labeled A S 1 begins at the bottom left, passes through e (Q subscript f, P 1) and g (Q 2, P 2), and ends at the top-right. Another rising line labeled A S 2 begins at a point that is above the starting point of A S 1 passes through a (Q 1, P 1), b (Q subscript f, P 2), c (Q 2, P 3), and ends at a point that is above the ending point of A S 1. Another rising line labeled A S 3 begins at a point that is above the starting point of A S 2 passes through f (Q 1, P 2), d (Q subscript f, P 3), and ends at a point that is above the ending point of A S 2.

Refer to the diagram. Assume that nominal wages initially are set based on the price level P₂ and that the economy initially is operating at its full-employment level of output Q_f. In terms of this diagram, the long-run aggregate supply curve
