The Greek letter a represents a number that determines how much output responds to unexpected changes in the price level. In this case, assume that a $2 billion. That is, when the actual price level exceeds the expected price level by 1, the quantity of output supplied will exceed the natural level of output by $2 billion. Suppose the natural level of output is $50 billion of real GDP and that people expect a price level of 110. 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 0 30 40 50 60 70 OUTPUT (Billions of dollars) 80 90 100 AS LRAS (?)

Use the following graph to answer the next question. Price Level AS3 AS₁ 0 Real Domestic Output, GDP AS2 Which of the following factors will shift AS₁ to AS₂? OA) A decrease in business subsidies OB) An increase in input prices OC) A decrease in business taxes
The following graph shows a decrease in aggregate demand (AD) in a hypothetical country. Specifically, aggregate demand shifts to the left from AD1AD1 to AD2AD2, causing the quantity of output demanded to fall at all price levels. For example, at a price level of 140, output is now $200 billion, where previously it was $300 billion. The following table lists several determinants of aggregate demand. Complete the table by indicating the change in each determinant necessary to decrease aggregate demand. Change needed to decrease AD Wealth (increase/ decrease) Taxes (increase/ decrease) Expected rate of return on investment (increase/ decrease) Incomes in other countries (increase/ decrease)
Will the shift of SRAS to the right tend to make the equilibrium quantity and price level higher or lower? What about a shift of SRAS to the left?
Name some factors that could cause the SRAS curve to shift, and say whether they would shift SRAS to the right or to the left.

Suppose the money market for some hypothetical economy is given by the following graph, which plots the money demand and money supply curves. Assume the central bank in this economy (the Fed) fixes the quantity of money supplied. Suppose the price level decreases from 150 to 125. Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to show the impact of a decrease in the overall price level on the market for money. Money Supply 15 12 4 Money Demand 3 5 10 15 20 MONEY (Billions of dollars) INTEREST RATE (Percent) 18 0 0 25 30 Money Demand Money Supply (?) Following the price level decrease, the quantity of money demanded at the initial interest rate of 9% will be supplied by the Fed at this interest rate. As a result, individuals will attempt to bonds and other interest-bearing assets, and bond issuers will realize that they restored in the money market at an interest rate of than the quantity of money their money holdings. In order to do so, they will interest rates until equilibrium is
Consider the table on the right, which shows business investment in inventories for each quarter from the first quarter of 2007 to the first quarter of 2012, measured in millions of 2007 dollars. Provide a macroeconomic explanation for this pattern. (Hint: When did the recession during this period begin and end?) The negative growth of inventories indicates a period of OA. inflation since inventories needed to be reduced in the face of increasing storage cost OB. recession because demand was met by drawing down past inventories and production did not increase. OC. recovery since inventories needed to be used to meet demand.

Adjust the following graph by shifting either the curve or the point on the curve to illustrate a decrease in income tax rates. ? PRICE LEVEL REAL GDP AD=C+I+G+(X-M) AD Which of the following formulas best defines GDP using the expenditure method? O AD I+G+(X-M) O AD=C+I+(X-M) O AD C-I-G+(X-M) AD
The following graph shows three total expenditure lines for an economy at three different price levels. AE130 corresponds to the price level of 130; AE110 corresponds to the price level of 110; AE150 corresponds to the price level of 150. The black line (which starts in the bottom left corner) is a 45-degree line illustrating the set of points for which real GDP and total expenditure are equal. 1. What is the level of equilibrium output at a price level of 110 is what? (First picture) 2. Plot aggregate demand curve in second picture
