A

To determine

The real GDP and actual price level when the actual price level exceeds the expected price level.

Concept Introduction:

Expansionary Gap: Expansionary Gap is the gap between actual output and potential output under full employment situation, when actual output is more than potential output.

Recessionary Gap: Recessionary Gap is the gap between actual output and potential output under full employment situation, when actual output is less than potential output.

4) For each outcome below, tell what type of shift must have taken place in either the aggregate demand curve or the long-run aggregate supply curve. (a) In the short run, the price level is unchanged and output rises. (b) In the long run, the price level declines and output is unchanged. (c) In the long run, the price level rises and output decline.
9-)Suppose that government decides to support the firms for their investments in research and the development.Assuming this support increases productivity in the economy, use aggregate demand and supply analysis to predict the short-run and long-run effects on inflation and output. Show these effects on a graph and explain the results in detail.  IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THE QUESTION: DESCRIPTION ≠ EXPLANATION; So please DO NOT just write like “this curve shifts right or left etc.” as an explanation (I can see it on the graph), EXPLAIN “WHY” that curve shifts right or left and clearly write “WHAT” are the short-run and the long-run RESULTS of the shift(s) on inflation and output.)
(3) "The aggregate demand curve slope slopes downward because when the price level is lower, people can afford to buy more, lead to the rise in aggregate demand. When price rises, people can afford to buy less, resulting to the fall in aggregate demand. It is therefore very much an extension of the Law of Demand in Microeconomics." Is this a good explanation of the shape of the AD curve? Why or why not?
