I don't quite understand what is asking of the change that will occur in the long run
Using aggregate demand and aggregate supply, graph the effects on the price level and GDP of each of the following. Draw a large graph and label all axes, initial and final equilibrium points, direction of shift if any, all curves and lines, equilibrium values on the x- and y-axes. State the conclusion in words.
a. A cut in income taxes
b. An increase in military spending
c. A drop in export demand by foreign purchasers
d. An increase in imports
e. A decline in business investment spending
The short-run quantity of output supplied by firms will exceed the natural level of output when the actual price level ———-that people expected.

If M increases to 2,000, what are the new short-run values of P and Y? ▪c.

Suppose that the government increases spending. Use the graphs to show the new positions of aggregate demand (AD), short‑run aggregate supply (SRAS), and long‑run aggregate supply (LRAS) in both the short run and the long run, as well as the short‑run and long‑run equilibriums resulting from this change. Then, indicate what happens to the price level and real GDP (or aggregate output) in the short run and in the long run.
