Question
The graph shows an economy's aggregate supply and potential GDP.
 
On the graph, draw an aggregate demand curve when the economy is at an above full-employment equilibrium. Label it
AD
.
 
Draw a point at the above full-employment equilibrium.
 
Draw a horizontal arrow
at the equilibrium price level
that shows the gap between actual real GDP and potential GDP.
 
>>>
Draw only the objects specified in the
question.
The image displays a graph depicting an economy's aggregate supply (AS) and potential GDP. 

### Graph Details:
- **Axes**:
  - The vertical axis represents the "Price level (GDP price index, 2012=100)."
  - The horizontal axis shows "Real GDP (trillions of 2012 dollars)."

- **Lines**:
  - A blue line labeled "AS" (Aggregate Supply) slopes upward across the graph, representing the aggregate supply curve.
  - A vertical magenta line represents "Potential GDP," indicating the economy's potential output level.

### Task Instructions:
1. **Draw an Aggregate Demand Curve**: 
   - Add an aggregate demand curve labeled "AD" when the economy is at an above full-employment equilibrium.

2. **Mark Above Full-Employment Equilibrium**:
   - Plot a point on the graph at the above full-employment equilibrium.

3. **Indicate the GDP Gap**:
   - Include a horizontal arrow at the equilibrium price level depicting the gap between actual real GDP and potential GDP.

The user is guided to use specific tools and instructions to add the components to the graph: "Select," "Line," "Point," and "Double Arrow," ensuring only the specified tasks are completed.
