Use the AD-AS model diagram to address the effects of increasing government expenditure in the short-run and in the long-run equilibrium.
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
Suppose firms are optimistic about the outlook of the economy and they decide to increase investment. Also suppose that, simultaneously, there is a reduction in business taxes. Use the AD-AS graph to show what happens to the price level and output as a result.

U.S. recorded nearly tripled saving over the first two quarters of 2020, from $1.59 trillion annualized in the first quarter to $4.69 trillion in the second, which is by far the biggest increase in modern history. b) The prolonged monsoon rain has caused the production of vegetables in Cameron Highlands fell by about 30%.
