Aggregate demand will _______.
A.
increase by less than $50 billion because there will be fewer goods and services produced for consumption expenditure
B.
increase by more than $50 billion because the increase in aggregate income induces an increase in consumption expenditure
C.
probably decrease by $50 billion, but it depends on the change in aggregate supply
D.
increase by exactly $50 billion because investment is a component of aggregate demand

- What is the effect of an increase in investment? When investment increases, A. aggregate demand increases and income increases. The increase in income induçes an increase in consumption expenditure so aggregate demand increases by more than the initial increase in investment B. aggregate demand increases and aggregate supply increases C. aggregate demand increases by an amount equal to the increase in investment O D. aggregate supply increases. The increase in aggregate supply is greater than the increase in investment because capital increases, which increases potential GDP Click to select your answer.
