### Understanding Aggregate Demand and Supply Graphs **Graph Explanation:** The given graph illustrates the relationships between the price level and the quantity of output in an economy using aggregate demand (AD) and short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curves. - **Axes:** - The vertical axis represents the **Price Level**. - The horizontal axis represents the **Quantity of Output (Real GDP)**. - **Curves:** - **LRAS (Long-Run Aggregate Supply):** A vertical line indicating the economy's natural rate of output, where the economy produces at full employment, labeled here as \( Y_2 \). - **SRAS (Short-Run Aggregate Supply):** Two upward sloping curves. The initial SRAS is labeled as \(\text{SRAS}_1\), and a rightward shifted SRAS is labeled as \(\text{SRAS}_2\). - **AD (Aggregate Demand):** Two downward sloping curves. The initial AD is labeled as \(\text{AD}_1\), and a rightward shifted AD is labeled as \(\text{AD}_2\). - **Equilibrium Points:** - The initial equilibrium is where \(\text{SRAS}_1\) intersects \(\text{AD}_1\) at price level \(P_1\) and output level \(Y_1\). - The new intersection of \(\text{SRAS}_1\) and \(\text{AD}_2\) is at price level \(P_2\) and output level \(Y_2\). - Another possible intersection of \(\text{SRAS}_2\) and \(\text{AD}_2\) could be considered. **Question and Options:** The question posed below the graph is: "Starting from \(P_2\) & \(Y_2\), the intersection of \(\text{SRAS}_1\) & \(\text{AD}_2\), how might policymakers attempt to reduce inflation and bring the economy to the natural rate of unemployment?" Here are the policy options provided for achieving these economic objectives: 1. **Increase government spending on roads, bridges and other infrastructure** 2. **Lower interest rates to promote growth in stock market values** 3. **Reduce the money supply, increasing interest rates to cool excessive aggregate demand** 4. **Broad based public announcements designed to reduce
