The following graph shows an increase in short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) in a hypothetical economy. Specifically, short-run aggregate supply shifts to the right from SRAS₁ to SRAS2, causing the quantity of output supplied at a price level of 125 to rise from $250 billion to $350 billion. Review the graph and then complete the table that follows. PRICE LEVEL 200 175 150 125 100 75 50 25 0 0 50 SRAS SRAS₂ 100 150 200 250 300 350 400 REAL GDP (Billions of dollars) Determinant Input Prices Burdensome Regulations Technology The following table lists several determinants of short-run aggregate supply.

6. Why the aggregate supply curve slopes upward in the short run In the short run, the quantity of output that firms supply can deviate from the natural level output if the actual price level in the economy deviates from the expected price level. Several theories explain how this might happen. For example, the sticky-price theory asserts that the output prices of some goods and services adjust slowly to changes in the price level. Suppose firms announce the prices for their products in advance, based on an expected price level of 100 for the coming year. Many of the firms sell their goods through catalogs and face high costs of reprinting if they change prices. The actual price level turns out to be 90. Faced with high menu costs, and firms that rely on catalogs the firms that rely on catalog sales choose not to adjust their prices. Sales from catalogs will will respond by the quantity of output they supply. If enough firms face high costs of adjusting prices, the unexpected decrease…
In 2001, the economy of Boxtown had an aggregate demand and aggregate supply according to the following schedule: price level aggregate demand short-run aggregate supply long-run aggregate supply 70 $1275 $1005 $1300 80 $1250 $1070 $1300 90 $1225 $1135 $1300 100 $1200 $1200 $1300 110 $1175 $1265 $1300 120 $1150 $1330 $1300 130 $1125 $1395 $1300 What was Boxtown’s short-run equilibrium output in 2001? If Boxtown cut taxes, how would short-run equilibrium quantity change?Increase/Decrease

The following graph shows a hypothetical economy that uses the dollar as its currency. The economy is in short-run equilibrium at an output level of 300 billion and a price level of 60. Suppose that the economy's potential output is $200 billion. Use the purple line (diamond symbols) to plot the long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) curve on the graph. 120 100 SRAS AD 80 SRAS LRAS AD 20 100 200 300 400 500 600 REAL GDP (Index numbers) This economy's output is potential output. To restore the economy to its potential, the government could use v fiscal policy Shift either the AD curve or the SRAS curve to illustrate the changes consistent with the chosen government policy Suppose that the marginal propensity to consume in this economy is 0.80. Assume, for simplicity, that there are no taxes or other factors that could alter the multiplier effect of a change in government expenditures. The economy's expenditure multiplier is , which means that the government must alter its expenditures by to…
6. Why the aggregate supply curve slopes upward in the short run In the short run, the quantity of output supplied by firms can deviate from the natural level of output if the actual price level deviates from the expected price level in the economy. A number of theories explain reasons why this might happen. For example, the misperceptions theory asserts that changes in the price level can temporarily mislead firms about what is happening to their output prices. Consider a soybean farmer who expects a price level of 100 in the coming year. If the actual price level turns out to be 90, soybean prices will and if the farmer mistakenly assumes that the price of soybeans declined relative to other prices of goods and services, the quantity of soybeans supplied. If other producers in this economy mistake changes in the price level for changes in their relative prices, the unexpected decrease in the price level causes the quantity of output supplied to level of output in the short run. she…
On the following graph, use the purple line (diamond symbol) to plot this economy's long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) curve. Then use the orange line segments (square symbol) to plot the economy's short-run aggregate supply (AS) curve at each of the following price levels: 100, 105, 110, 115, and 120. PRICE LEVEL 125 120 115 + 110 105 100 95 90 85 80 75 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 OUTPUT (Billions of dollars) 80 90 100 0 AS LRAS ? The short-run quantity of output supplied by firms will fall short of the natural level of output when the actual price level level that people expected. the price
This graph shows an increase in aggregate supply in a hypothetical economy where the currency is the dollar. Specifically, the short-run aggregate supply curve (SRAS) shifts to the right from SRAS1 to SRAS2, causing the quantity of output supplied at a price level of 125 to rise from $250 billion to $350 billion.
The following graph represents the short-run aggregate supply curve (SRAS) based on an expected price level of 180. The economy's full- employment output level is $9 trillion. Major unions across the country have recently negotiated three-year wage contracts with employers. The wage contracts are based on an expected price level of 180, but the actual price level turns out to be 240. Show the short-run effect of the unexpectedly high price level by dragging the curve or moving the point to the appropriate position.

The following graph shows the aggregate demand (AD) curve in a hypothetical economy. At point A, the price level is 140, and the quantity of output demanded is $300 billion. Moving down along the aggregate demand curve from point A to point B, the price level falls to 120, and the quantity of output demanded rises to $500 billion. 170 100 180 140 130 120 110 AD 100 00 100 200 300 400 B00 700 OUTPUT (Billians of dollars) As the price level falls, the cost of borrowing money will , causing the quantity of output demanded to Additionally, as the price level falls, the impact on the domestic interest rate will cause the real value of the dollar to in foreign exchange markets. The number of domestic products purchased by foreigners (exports) will therefore and the number of foreign products purchased by domestic consumers and firms (imports) will Net exports will therefore causing the quantity of domestic output demanded to
