Question 5
Use the Aggregate supply and Aggregate Demand Model below to answer the questions that follow.
i) Examine the influence of government expenditure on investment in a nation. Use Jot Inc. Ltd a multinational construction company in which you are the Chief Exec of the firm that that is highly diversified and recieves funds to construct highways and other government funded projects. Also, explain the factors that cause the Aggregate Demand curve to be downward sloping left to right.
According to the Congressional Budget Office's projections, real GDP in 2007 was marginally higher than real potential GDP. If potential GDP is correctly assessed, then during that period :
(A) the economy was on its long run aggregate supply curve.
(B) the economy was to the left of its long run aggregate supply curve.
(C) the economy was slightly to the right of its long run aggregate supply curve.
For each set of conditions given, use the aggregate supply – aggregate demand model to indicate what will happen to the price level and quantity of real domestic output (GDP). Assume prices are flexible in both directions, unless directed otherwise. Be mindful of the time periods mentioned that align with the three versions of aggregate supply.

Name the factors of economic growth.arrow_forwardIn the Aggregate Demand – Aggregate Supply Model, one reason for the downward slope of the Aggregate Demand curve is: at full employment, a rise in demand does not produce a rise in output O a fall in the price level increases interest rates making exports less competitive a fall in the Australian price level makes Australian-produced goods more internationally competitive and imports rise a rise in the price level reduces the real value of income, leading to a fall in consumption expenditurearrow_forwardThe graph to the right shows an economy's aggregate demand curve.
