Which of the following would NOT cause a shift in AD?
Select one:
a. A reduction in interest rates
b. A fall in the cost of production
c. A reduction in income tax
d. An increase in government spending
Complete the Chart - Identify the impact of each of the following on AD or AS
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.

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.
