1)  Suppose the economy is in long-run equilibrium. If there is a sharp increase in the expected price level, what do we expect to happen?   Select one:   (A) In the short run, the SRAS curve will shift left, real GDP and price will fall. (B) In the short run, SRAS will shift right, real GDP will rise and prices will fall. (C) In the short run, AD will shift left, real GDP and prices will fall. (D) In the short run, LRAS and SRAS will shift left, causing real GDP to fall.

On the graph, label your starting AD line as AD 2019.  Draw a new AD line showing the change to AD due to the pandemic. Label your starting SRAS line as SRAS 2019.  Draw a new SRAS line showing the change to supply due to the pandemic.Label the new short-run equilibrium RGDP and Price Level.   Does output (i.e. RGDP) increase or decrease in your model? Does the price level increase or decrease in your model? According to the AD-AS model when RGDP falls the unemployment rises and vice versa.  Does your graph indicate an increase or decrease in the unemployment rate

Note: The hand written solution is not allowed.

2)  Use the table above to answer the following questions.a) What is the value of real GDP and price level at the long run macroeconomic equilibrium?b) What is the value of real GDP and price level at the short run macroeconomic equilibrium?c) Is the short-run macroeconomic equilibrium a full-employment equilibrium, below full-employment equilibrium, or above full-employment equilibrium?d) How will this economy return to its long run equilibrium? Explain using self-correctingmechanism.

Refer to the following figure   1. For this economy, if the actual price level exceeds theexpected price level, how much output will the economyproduce in the short-run? A)$17 trillionB)$17.2 trillionC)$16.7 trillionD) Both A and C.2. Given the situation in part (a), this economy wouldexperience A) a recessionary gap of $0.3 trillionB) an expansionary gap of $0.2 trillionC) neither a recessionary gap nor an expansionary gap.D) an expansionary gap of $17.2 trillion.   3. Given the situation in part (a), in this economy (circlethe letter representing the right answer below)A) the actual rate of unemployment would be less than thenatural rate of unemployment.B) the actual rate of unemployment would be above the naturalrate of unemployment.C) the actual rate of unemployment would be equal to thenatural rate of unemployment.D)none of the above.4. In this economy, given the situation in part (a), in thelong-run (circle the letter representing the right answerbelow)A) the nominal wage…

Which of the following would cause the aggregate supply curve to increase... Group of answer choices The government has reduced its spending by more than 10% over the last 2 years Throughout the economy, workers are using better equipment and output per hour is rising. Consumers are more confident and spending more than before. Energy prices such as gas and electricity have increased rapidly throughout the country.

Use AD and AS curves to explain the effects on the equilibrium price level and equilibrium level of output in the short run.(a) An expansionary fiscal policy with the economy operating near full capacity. (b) A contractionary monetary policy during a period of high unemployment and excess industrial capacity. (c) A strong hurricane destroys energy plants which cause energy prices to increase, assuming that the Fed attempts to keep interest rates constant by accommodating inflation. (d) The federal government pursues a contractionary fiscal policy while the Fed acts to keep output from falling.

Assuming Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply are initially at ADo and ASo respectively, which of the following explains the adjustment towards long-run equilibrium depicted in Figure B? a. Unemployment (resulting from the short-run equilibrium being below LRAS) causes wages to decline, which increases AS till long-run equilibrium is attained at full employment level of income and a lower price level. b. Government spending is increased, increasing AD to a level sufficient to attain long-run equilibrium at full employment level of income and a higher price level c. In attempting to produce beyond the economy's natural level of GDP, producers bid up wages and prices of other resources, causing the AS to decrease to the point where long-run equilibrium is restored. d. Taxes are increased reducing AD to a level consistent with long-run equilibrium

Which of the following would cause the Aggregate Supply curve to move from AS to AS2 in the graph below?   A) A general increase in energy and labor cost for businesses. B) A general decrease in labor cost for businesses. C) An increase in productivity. D) A federal government increase in spending.

3)  Assume initially an economy is at its long run equilibrium. Then, consumerconfidence in this economy increases. What will happen to real GDP and aggregate price level inthe short run equilibrium following the increase in consumer confidence? Use the AggregateDemand – Aggregate Supply model to answer the question.
