Question
Chapter 9, Problem 1CQ
To determine
Explain the reason why the aggregate demand curve is inversely related to the price level.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The components of the aggregate demand are consumption, investment, government spending, and net export. The aggregate demand is determined by the price of the commodity. If the price of a commodity increases, the consumer will consume some other products or reduce their expenditure. If the expenditure reduces, the overall consumption will decrease. A decrease in the price level will result in an increase in consumption. Therefore, the aggregate demand curve shows the inverse relationship between the price level and the quantity.
The inverse relationship between the aggregate demand curves that are different from the demand curve of specific good is that, if the price level increases in aggregate goods, it causes a price level increase in the entire economy, but in the case of a single commodity, the price increase will result in an increase in the price of a specific good only, which would not affect the entire economy.
Economics Concept Introduction
Aggregate demand curve: The aggregate demand curve shows the combination of the negative relationship between the prices level and the quantity as a whole.

A firm operates with the production function Q = K2 L. Q is the number of units of output per day when the firm rents K units of capital and employs L workers each day. The manager has been given a production target: to produce 8,000 units per day. She knows that the daily rental price of capital is $400 per unit and the wage rate is $200 day.
a. What is the returns to scale of this production function? Show mathematically.
b. Currently the firm employs 80 workers per day. What is the firm’s daily total cost if it rents just enough capital to produce at its target?
c. Compare the marginal product per dollar spent on K and on L when the firm operates at the input choice in part (b). What does this suggest about the way the firm might change its choice of K and L if it wants to reduce the total cost in meeting its target? Explain your answer very clearly.
d. In the long run, how much K and L should the firm choose if it wants to minimize the cost of producing 8,000 units of output a day?…
