Does the equilibrium levels of employment and AQS change as the price level changes? Is the long run aggregate supply curve downward or upward sloping or is it a vertical line? Suppose that the velocity of money is constant= 5 and the money supply is = 80. c) For each one of the following levels P = 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, find the aggregate quantity demanded AQD according to the quantity theory. What is the equilibrium price level, the equilibrium real GDP, equilibrium aggregate quantity AQS and the equilibrium aggregate quantity demanded? What is the equilibrium nominal wage?

Suppose that the velocity of money is constant= 5 and the money supply is = 80.
c) For each one of the following levels P = 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, find the aggregate quantity demanded AQD according to the quantity theory. What is the
Suppose now that= 5 does not change but the money supply decreases to = 60.
d) What is the new equilibrium price, and the new equilibrium real GDP? What is the new equilibrium nominal wage? What happened to the equilibrium price level P and the equilibrium nominal wage?
e) Comparing your answers to c) and d) what happened to the equilibrium real GDP, and employment?
