a. What is productivity in this economy?
b. What is the per-unit cost of production if the price of each input unit is $2?
c. Assume that the input price increases from $2 to $3 with no accompanying change in productivity.
What is the new per-unit cost of production? In what direction would the $1 increase in input price push
the economy's aggregate supply curve? What effect would this shift of aggregate supply have on the price
level and the level of real output?
d. Suppose that the increase in input price does not occur but, instead, that productivity increases by 100
percent. What would be the new per-unit cost of production? What effect would this change in per-unit
production cost have on the economy's aggregate supply curve? What effect would this shift of aggregate
supply have on the price…
