**Title: Understanding Short-Run Aggregate Demand and Supply Curves**The figure below illustrates the short-run aggregate demand (AD) and short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curves of an economy. The focus is on the distance between Y1 and Y2, which represents a specific economic concept.**Figure 10.2 Explanation:**- **Axes:** - The vertical axis represents the Price Level. - The horizontal axis represents Real GDP.- **Curves:** - **AD (Aggregate Demand) Curve:** This downward-sloping curve shows the relationship between the price level and the quantity of goods and services demanded. - **SRAS (Short-Run Aggregate Supply) Curve:** This upward-sloping curve depicts the relationship between the price level and the quantity of goods and services that firms are willing and able to produce in the short run.- **Lines:** - The dashed vertical line labeled "Potential output" indicates the Full Employment Output or the Natural Rate of Output, where the economy operates at its full potential. - Y1 denotes the current level of Real GDP, which is to the left of the potential output. - Y2 represents the potential level of Real GDP.**Question:**In this figure, the distance between Y1 and Y2 represents:- a. a recessionary gap.- b. the full employment output.- c. the natural rate of unemployment.- d. a cost-push inflation.- e. an expansionary gap.**Answer Explanation:**The distance between Y1 and Y2 signifies a situation where the actual output (Y1) is less than the potential output (Y2), indicating that the economy is not producing at its full capacity. This is typically referred to as:**a. a recessionary gap.**This gap indicates underperformance in the economy, often associated with higher unemployment and underutilized resources. ### Economic Concepts: Price Levels and Aggregate Supply#### Problem StatementSuppose the actual and expected price levels in an economy are initially equal. However, the actual price level becomes higher due to some change in economic conditions. Which of the following will occur eventually?#### Answer Choices- **a.** The short-run aggregate supply curve will shift to the right.- **b.** The short-run aggregate supply curve will become flatter.- **c.** The economy will move leftward along the short-run aggregate supply curve.- **d.** The economy will move rightward along the short-run aggregate supply curve.- **e.** The short-run aggregate supply curve will shift to the left.#### ExplanationTo understand what will eventually happen, one must analyze the impact of a higher actual price level on the short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve and the overall economy. Economic theory suggests that if the actual price level increases unexpectedly:- An increase in price levels typically leads to higher production costs.- Firms may temporarily produce more to take advantage of higher prices, leading to a movement along the curve rather than a shift.- Over time, the SRAS curve would likely shift to the left as production costs rise, reducing the quantity of goods and services supplied at any given price level.Understanding these dynamics can help in analyzing real-world economic scenarios and predicting potential shifts and movements within an economy’s aggregate supply and demand framework.
