Options for the first 3 blanks (increase, derease, no change,)

Option for last: rational expectations theory, monetarism, keynesian theory

Suppose that workers and firms perfectly forecast inflation, so that the real wage remains unchanged as the price level rises over time. Prices and
wages rise at the same rate, which implies that the real wage stays constant.
The following graph shows the aggregate demand curve (AD) in an economy in long-run equilibrium. Assume the natural rate of unemployment is
5%, and potential output is $40 trillion.
Use the orange points (square symbols) to draw the aggregate supply curve in this case, and use the black point (X symbol) to mark the equilibrium
price level and real GDP.
