- Which statement about short-run aggregate supply is the most accurate? It is not affected in any manner by the price level. It reflects how much real GDP suppliers are willing and able to produce at different price levels. It shifts only when the employment levels increase. It is set at the natural rate of unemployment.arrow_forwardWhich of the following would not cause a shift in the long-run aggregate supply curve? a) An increase in the available capital b) An increase in the available technology c) An increase in price expectations d) An increase in the available labour e) All the abovearrow_forwardThe following graph represents the short-run aggregate supply curve (SRAS) 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.
