The following graph shows the aggregate demand curve (AD), the short-run aggregate supply curve (AS), and the long-run aggregate supply curve (LRAS) for a hypothetical economy. Initially, the expected price level equals the actual price level, and the economy experiences long-run equilibrium at a natural level of output of $110 billion. Suppose a bout of severe weather drives up agricultural costs, increases the costs of transporting goods and services, and increases the costs of producing goods and services. Use the graph to help you answer the questions about the short-run and long-run effects of the increase in production costs that follow. (Note: You will not be graded on any adjustments made to the graph.) Hint: For simplicity, ignore any possible impact of the severe weather on the natural level of output. 130 125 120 115 110 LRAS AS AD AS

The following graph shows the economy in long-run equilibrium at the expected price level of 120 and the natural level of output of $600 billion. Suppose a stock market boom increases household wealth and causes consumers to spend more. Shift the short-run aggregate supply (AS) curve or the aggregate demand (AD) curve to show the short-run impact of the stock market boom. 240 AS 200 AD 160 AS 120 80 AD 40 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 OUTPUT (Billions of dollars) In the short run, the increase in consumption spending associated with the stock market expansion causes the price level to the price level people expected and the quantity of output to the natural level of output. The stock market boom will cause the unemployment rate to the natural rate of unemployment in the short run. Again, the following graph shows the economy in long-run equilibrium at the expected price level of 120 and the natural level of output of $600 billion, before the increase in consumption spending associated with…
The graphs illustrate an initial equilibrium for the economy. Suppose that the Federal Reserve raises interest rates. Use the graphs to show the new positions of aggregate demand (AD), short-run aggregate supply (SRAS), and long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) in both the short run and the long run, as well as the short-run and long-run equilibriums resulting from this change. Then, indicate what happens to the price level and GDP in the short run and in the long run. Aggregate price level Short-run graph GDP In the short run, the price level LRAS Real GDP SRAS Short-run equilibrium AD and Aggregate price level Long-run graph LRAS Real GDP In the long run, the price level GDP SRAS Long-run equilibrium AD and
The following graph shows an aggregate demand curve (AD) illustrating the inverse relationship between the price level and the quantity of Real GDP in the United States. During World War II, the United States increased military spending. Show the effect of the following scenario on the aggregate demand curve by dragging the curve or moving the point to the appropriate position. Note: Tool tip: To move the curve, click and drag any part of the curve. The curve will snap into position, so if you try to move it and it snaps back to its original position, just try again and drag it a little farther.

The U.S. economy is initially in short-run macro-equilibrium. Assume that China falls into a deep recession. As a result, we observe the following in our economy: Question 34 options: a) Both the price level and real GDP increase. b) The price level falls and real GDP increases c) Both the price level and real GDP decrease d) The price level increases and real GDP falls
The following graph shows an economy's short-run aggregate supply curve (SRAS), current equilibrium aggregate price level (P₁), and real GDP ( 21). The economy currently has Natural Real GDP (QN) of $6 trillion. Use this information to place the orange long-run aggregate supply curve (LRAS, square symbols) in the correct position on the graph.

The graph in Figure I presents the annual GDP growth rate of the United States economy since the first quarter of 2004, while the graphs in Figure II represent three different scenarios of the relationship. between aggregate demand and supply that reflect different situations of economic growth. Answer the following questions in detail. Using the shifts in the aggregate demand curve in each of the three graphs in Figure II, explain the function of aggregate consumption and investment. Explain in detail what is happening in Graph A in Figure II and, after examining the data in the graph in Figure I, identify in what period of time said situation is occurring.
The following graph shows the aggregate demand curve (AD), the short-run aggregate supply curve (AS), and the long-run aggregate supply curve ( LRAS) for a hypothetical economy. Initially, the expected price level equals the actual price level, and the economy experiences long-run equilibrium at a natural level of output of $100 billion.. Suppose a bout of severe weather drives up agricultural costs, increases the costs of transporting goods and services, and increases the costs of producing goods and services. Use the graph to help you answer the questions about the short-run and long-run effects of the increase in production costs that follow. (Note: You will not be graded on any adjustments made to the graph.) Hint: For simplicity, ignore any possible impact of the severe weather on the natural level of output.
The following graph plots the aggregate demand curve for this economy. Show the impact of the decrease in the price level by moving the point along the curve or shifting the curve. PRICE LEVEL 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 10 Aggregate Demand 20 30 40 OUTPUT (Billions of dollars) 50 60 The change in the interest rate found in the previous task will lead to a in the quantity of output demanded in the economy.

The following graph shows an increase in aggregate supply (ASAS) in a hypothetical economy. Specifically, aggregate supply shifts to the right from AS1AS1 to AS2AS2, causing the quantity of output supplied at a price level of 125 to rise from $250 billion to $350 billion. The following table lists several determinants of aggregate supply. Complete the table by indicating the changes in the determinants necessary to increase aggregate supply. Determinant Change Needed to Increase ASAS Nominal Wage Rate Tax Rates Technology
Suppose firms become very pessimistic about future business conditions and significantly reduce investment spending. Show the short-run effect of this pessimism on the aggregate-demand curve.

Suppose that in 2011, the price of cotton, an input good, decreases in Microtania. Show how this event will change equilibrium output and price level by shifting either the SRAS or AD curve, and then answer the questions below. Did equilibrium output increase or decrease?Increase/Decrease Did equilibrium price increase or decrease?Increase/Decrease
A recessionary gap exists when the macro economy is in equilibrium at less than the potential output of the the economy because aggregate demand is insufficient to fully employ all of society' s resources. In other words, the equilibrium (AD = AS) occurs to the left of the vertical long-run supply curve. At this point, potential output is reached ( full employment) and if any unemployment occurs, then it is due to structural or frictional; that is, the economy is at its natural rate of employment.
