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 firms become pessimistic about future business conditions and cut back on investment spending. Shift the short-run aggregate supply (AS) curve or the aggregate demand (AD) curve to show the short-run impact of the business pessimism.
