- Review the problem shown in the Work It Out titled "Interpreting the AD/AS Model." Like the information provided in that feature, Table 24.2 shows information on aggregate supply, aggregate demand, and the price level for the imaginary country of Xurbia.

Identify the equilibrium. Imagine that, as a result of a government tax cut, aggregate demand becomes higher by 50 at every price level. Identify the new equilibrium. How will the new equilibrium alter output? How will it alter the price level?

- The imaginary country of Harris Island has the aggregate supply and aggregate demand curves as Table 24.3 shows. a. Identify the (i) equilibrium basing from the AD/AS diagram attached. b. Would you expect unemployment in this economy to be relatively high or low? c. Would you expect concern about inflation in this economy to be relatively high or low? d. Imagine that consumers begin to lose confidence about the state of the economy, and so AD becomes lower by 275 at every price level. Identify the new aggregate equilibrium. e. How will the shift in AD affect the original output, price level, and employment?arrow_forwardSuppose concerns about the size of the federal budget deficit lead theU.S.Congress to cut all funding for research and development for ten years.
