Will a direct increase in the price of U.S. goods relative to foreign goods lead to a change in the quantity demanded of Real GDP or to a change in Aggregate Demand? Will a change in the exchange rate that subsequently increases the price of U.S. goods relative to foreign goods lead to a change in the quantity demanded of Real GDP or to a change in Aggregate Demand?
The economy of Ashville is currently in a macroeconomic equilibrium, as depicted by point E, in
the accompanying figure.
The main component of Ashville's exports consist of the raw materials that it derives from its
natural resources.
Suppose that the world demand for raw materials decreases sharply, resulting in a decrease in
the price of raw materials throughout the world.
The decrease in the world demand for raw materials, which is the major source of Ashville's
exports, will
the level of aggregate demand in Ashville, causing a
▼shift in
the AD curve.
The decrease in the world demand for raw materials, which implies a decrease in the level of
factor prices, leads to
in the unit cost of production in Ashville, causing a
7 shift in the AS curve.
Use the three-point curve drawing tool twice to draw and label new AS and AD curves that
shows the effect of this shock on Ashville's economy.
Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required object.

- When incomes rise, imports tend to a) behave in an unpredictable manner b) fall c) rise d) stay the samearrow_forwardAn expected decline in demand for consumer goods in the U.S. means there will be less imports into the U.S. Less imports in the U.S. translates to a reduction in exports from China, which is significant as the U.S. has the largest GDP of all nations. As the U.S. is reducing imports, it will be purchasing less goods from China, which means the U.S. will be giving up less dollars to purchase Chinese goods with the yuan. Will a decline in demand for consumer goods in the U.S. impact China's economy given the above information? If so, how would that affect the dollar-yuan exchange rate?arrow_forwardWhich of the following could be a cause for imports not decreasing despite policy measures taken?
