The figure to the right shows an economy in an initial long-run equilibrium at point A a. Using the line drawing tool, show how, if at all, the equilibrium real GDP and the long-run equilibrium price level are affected by an income tax rebate (the return of previously paid taxes) from the government to households, which they can apply only to purchases of goods and services. Properly label this line. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects b. According to your graph, the equilibrium price level while the equilibrium real GDP

6. Why the aggregate supply curve slopes upward in the short run In the short run, the quantity of output that firms supply can deviate from the natural level output if the actual price level in the economy deviates from the expected price level. Several theories explain how this might happen. For example, the sticky-price theory asserts that the output prices of some goods and services adjust slowly to changes in the price level. Suppose firms announce the prices for their products in advance, based on an expected price level of 100 for the coming year. Many of the firms sell their goods through catalogs and face high costs of reprinting if they change prices. The actual price level turns out to be 90. Faced with high menu costs, and firms that rely on catalogs the firms that rely on catalog sales choose not to adjust their prices. Sales from catalogs will will respond by the quantity of output they supply. If enough firms face high costs of adjusting prices, the unexpected decrease…

(2) With the help of aggregate supply (AS) and aggregate demand (AD) curves, describe the effects of the following events on the price level and on equilibrium GDP in the short run and the long run, assuming that input prices fully adjust to output prices after some lag.< ■ (i) An increase in the money supply with GDP being below its potential. (ii) Advancement in information technology in the 1990s.

The Canadian government passes a series of tax cuts into law in order to counteract a recession they have been experiencing. All else equal, illustrate the effects of this change in government policy on the aggregate demand curve by shifting it in the appropriate direction. Provide your answer below: Price Level Aggregate Supply Aggregate Demand Real GDP
