7. Determinants of aggregate supplyThe following graph shows an increase in short-run aggregate supply (AS) in a hypothetical economy where the currency is the dollar. Specifically, theshort-run aggregate supply curve shifts to the right from AS₁ to AS2, causing the quantity of output supplied at a price level of 100 to rise from$200 billion to $250 billion.PRICE LEVEL2001751501251007550250+AS₁AS2?

2. The theory of liquidity preference and the downward-slopingaggregate demand curve Suppose the money market for some hypothetical economy is given by the following graph, which plots the money demand and money supply curves. Assume the central bank in this economy (the Fed) fixes the quantity of money supplied. Suppose the price level increases from 90 to 105. Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to show the impact of an increase in the overall price level on the market for money. INTEREST RATE (Percent) 18 15 12 8 3 0 0 20 Money Supply Money Demand 40 60 80 MONEY (Billions of dollars) 100 120 Money Demand Money Supply Following the price level increase, the quantity of money demanded at the initial interest rate of 9% will be supplied by the Fed at this interest rate. As a result, individuals will attempt to bonds and other interest-bearing assets, and bond issuers will realize that they restored in the money market at an interest rate of % than the quantity of money their money…
The following graph shows a hypothetical economy in long-run equilibrium at an expected price level of 120 and a natural output level of $300 billion. Suppose a stock market boom increases household wealth and causes consumers to spend more. Using the graph, shift the short-run aggregate supply (AS) curve or the aggregate demand (AD) curve to show the short-run impact of the stock market boom. PRICE LEVEL 3 AS 200 AD -α- 180 8 0 100 200 300 AD 400 500 600 OUTPUT (Billions of dollars) AS (?) In the short run, the increase in consumption spending associated with the stock market expansion causes the price level to level people expected and the quantity of output to the price the natural level of output. The stock market boom will cause the unemployment rate to ▼the natural rate of unemployment in the short run. Again, the following graph shows a hypothetical economy experiencing long-run equilibrium at the expected price level of 120 and natural output level of $300 billion, prior to the…
One of the reasons given for the downward sloping aggregate demand curve is the foreign price effect. Clearly explain, step by step, how an increase in the price level will lead to a decrease in the aggregate demand, indicating a downward sloping aggregate demand curve.
Following an increase in consumer confidence, the US economy is experiencing a significant increase in aggregate spending. Using a correctly labeled aggregate demand and aggregate supply diagram, show how the change in aggregate spending will affect each of the following in the short run -Output -The price level
The following graph represents the aggregate supply (AS) curve based on an expected price level of 120. The economy's potential GDP level is $9 trillion. Major unions across the country have recently negotiated three-year wage contracts with employers. The wage contracts are based on an expected price level of 120, but the actual price level turns out to be 80. Show the short-run effect of the unexpectedly low price level by dragging the curve or moving the point to the appropriate position. Note: To move the curve, select and drag any part of the curve except the point. To move the point, select and drag the point along the curve. If you want to move both, first move the curve, and then move the point. The curve and point will snap into position, so if you try to move one of them and it snaps back to its original position, just try again and drag it a little farther.

Price Level a b c AS AD AD₁ Real GDP Refer to the figure above. If the aggregate supply curve shifted from ASo to AS₁, we could say that: aggregate supply has increased, and the equilibrium price level has risen to Og aggregate supply has decreased, equilibrium real output has increased, and the equilibrium price level has decreased aggregate supply has decreased, equilibrium real output has decreased, and the equilibrium price level has increased aggregate supply has increased, equilibrium real output has decreased, and the equilibrium price level has increased an increase in the amount of real output supplied has occurred
Why the aggregate demand curve slopes downward The graph below shows the aggregate demand (AD) curve for a hypothetical economy. At point X, the quantity of output demanded is $300 billion, and the price level is 140. Moving down along the AD curve from point X to point Y, the quantity of output demanded rises to $500 billion, and the price level falls to 120. As the price level falls, the cost of borrowing money will (REMAIN THE SAME or RISE or FALL), causing the quantity of output demanded to (REMAIN THE SAME or RISE or FALL). This phenomenon is known as the (EXCHANGE RATE or INTEREST RATE or WEALTH) effect. Additionally, as the price level falls, the impact on the domestic interest rate will cause the real value of the dollar to (RISE or FALL) in foreign exchange markets. The number of domestic products purchased by foreigners (exports) will therefore (RISE or FALL or REMAIN THE SAME), and the number of foreign products purchased by domestic consumers and firms (imports)…
The following graph represents the short-run aggregate supply curve (SRAS) based on an expected price level of 120. The economy's full- employment output level is $9 trillion. Major unions across the country have recently negotiated three-year wage contracts with employers. The wage contracts are based on an expected price level of 120, but the actual price level turns out to be 160. Show the short-run effect of the unexpectedly high price level by dragging the curve or moving the point to the appropriate position.

By using aggregate supply and demand curves to illustrate your points, discuss the impacts of the following events on the price level and on equilibrium GDP (Y) in the short run: a. A tax cut holding government purchases constant with the economy operating at near full capacity b. An increase in the money supply during a period of high unemployment and excess industrial capacity c. An increase in the price of oil caused by a war in the Middle East, assuming that the Central Bank attempts to keep interest rates constant by accommodating inflation d. An increase in taxes and a cut in government spending supported by a cooperative Fed acting to keep output from falling

The following graph shows the economy in long-run equilibrium at the expected price level of 120 and the natural level of output of $600 billion. Suppose a stock market boom increases household wealth and causes consumers to spend more.

The stock market boom will cause the unemployment rate to the natural rate of unemployment in the short run. Again, the following graph shows the economy in long-run equilibrium at the expected price level of 120 and the natural level of output of $600 billion, before the increase in consumption spending associated with…
Suppose that the full employment level of nominal GDP rises in one year from $16.8 to $18.0 trillion. The long-run equilibrium price level, however, remains unchanged at 120. By how much (in real dollars) has the long-run aggregate supply curve shifted to the right from one year to the next? $ trillion. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
