Starting at long run equilibrium, ceteris paribus, an increase in the costs of widely used factors of production would most likely Increase short run aggregate supply and create an inflationary gap. Decrease long run aggregate supply and create a recessionary gap. Decrease short run aggregate supply and create a recessionary gap. O Decrease aggregate demand and create a recessionary gap.

The economy is depicted in the graph to the right. a. Suppose, there are new discoveries of key raw materials. Which of the following best describes the result of this event? O A. The short-run aggregate supply curve shifts out while the long-run aggregate supply curve shifts in. OB. Both the short-run and long-run aggregate supply curves shift outward. OC. The short-run aggregate supply curve shifts inward while the long-run aggregate supply curve shifts outward. OD. Both the short and long-run aggregate supply curves shift inward. b. Complete the diagram. 1.) Using the line drawing tool, draw the new long-run aggregate supply curve representing this shock. Label it as LRAS,. 2.) Using the 3-point curved line drawing tool, draw the new SRAS representing this shock. Label it 'SRAS,'. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. to search O

How do prices change due to an economic contraction that is caused by a shift in aggregate demand? O a. They rise in the short run and fall back to their original level in the long run. b. They fall in the short run and fall even more in the long run. c. They rise in the short run and rise even more in the long run. d. They fall in the short run and rise back to their original level in the long run.

A(I) and (ii) pls!

Which of the following would cause the Aggregate Supply curve to move from AS to AS2 in the graph below? Price Level 150 140 130 120 110 100 90 80 70 60 0 5 10 15 Real GDP ($ billion) AS -AD-AS2 O A federal government increase in spending. O A general increase in energy and labor cost for businesses. O An increase in productivity. O A general decrease in labor cost for businesses. 20 25

ans ences rations If in Year 1 the price level was 100 and real GDP was $20 trillion and in Year 2 the price level was 105 and real GDP was $21 billion, then the predominant change that occured in Year 2 was OA a decrease in aggregate demand. B. an increase (shift to the right) in short-run aggregate supply. OC. a decrease (shift to the left) in short-run aggregate supply OD. an increase in aggregate demand.

The aggregate supply curve shows the relationship between the price level and the: O potential GDP in the economy. O total quantity of output that suppliers collectively produce. total quantity of output that buyers collectively plan to purchase. equilibrium GDP in the economy.

Suppose now the government passes a law that significantly increases the minimum wage. This change in policy will cause the natural rate of unemployment to which will: • Shift the long-run aggregate supply curve to the right O Not impact the long-run aggregate supply curve O Shift the long-run aggregate supply curve to the left Complete the following table by determining how each event impacts the position of the long-run aggregate supply (LAS) curve. Direction of LRAS Curve Shift A government-sponsored training program increases the skill level of the workforce. Many workers leave to pursue more lucrative careers in foreign economies. A scientific breakthrough significantly increases food production per acre of farmland.

"Fracking" is a relatively new technology that allows drillers to extract significantly larger quantities of natural gas from existing deposits than was previously possible. How is this discovery likely to affect the economy? (Hint: Think about whether this will have a short-run or long-run effect.) This discovery will likely: O increase both SRAS and LRAS, leading to a long-term increase in output and decrease in prices. O increase AD but decrease both SRAS and LRAS, leading to an uncertain change in long- term output and a decrease in prices. decrease both SRAS and LRAS, leading to a long-term decrease in output and increase in prices. O increase AD, SRAS, and LRAS, leading to a long-term increase in output and an uncertain change in prices.

Which of the following causes the short-run aggregate supply curve to shift to the right? O A. an increase in the expected price of an important natural resource B. a positive technological change O C. a higher expected future price level O D. a decrease in the capital stock
