Select 4 correct answer(s)
Question 10 options:
When the price level rises, the interest rate will rise, reducing Investment Spending.
When the price level falls, the interest rate will fall, increasing Investment Spending.
When the price level rises, the purchasing power of money declines and Consumption Spending will decline.
When the price level falls, the purchasing power of money declines and Consumption Spending will decline.
When the domestic price level rises, imports become relatively more expensive and Net Exports increase.
When the domestic price level falls, imports become relatively more expensive and exports become less expensive, resulting in an increase in Net Exports.

- What effects would each of the following have on aggregate demand or aggregate supply? Justify your answer. In each case use a diagram to show the expected effects on the equilibrium price level and real output level in the economy. Assume that all other things remain constant and prices are inflexible downward. (a) A reduction in interest rates at each price level (b) A sizable increase in labor productivity. (c) The nation’s currency appreciates against its major trading partners .arrow_forwardIn order to break stagflation, the government has to increase expenditure on food subsidies in the form of food vouchers, unemployment benefits or allowances, wages subsidy to increase household consumption expenditure and boost up the AD. With increased consumption expenditure, aggregate demand will rise, which would send a signal to the aggregate supply (AS) to raise production. This will create a positive effect, which will bring the economy out of recession. Show this in a graph.arrow_forwardThe adjacent diagram (Graph 1) shows the initial aggregate credit demand curve (CD₁) of the economy. Suppose the economy is currently at point A. Identify how the economy is likely to shift/move due to changes in credit demand in the following cases. Scenario Actions of the newly elected head of state make citizens feel pessimistic about the future. The government increases its spending on infrastructure by financing it through borrowing Banks raise the nominal interest rate by 2 percentage points after inflation rises by 4 percentage points.

Use relevant graphs to support your answer.arrow_forwardIn order to financially stimulate the nation, the Federal government injected $900 billion dollars into the economy. However, the results were less than spectacular. One reason could have been a failure to understand the marginal propensity to consume. Assume the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) was only 0.4. How much of that $900 billion went to increased consumption? Where did the rest of the money go? Increased consumption: Where did the rest go? Using MPC = 0.4, what is the spending multiplier (the actual numerical value please): What was the overall change in income as a result of the stimulus package after the multiplier completely works its way through the economy?arrow_forward
- #2a: As you have learned consumer expectationsLinks to an external site. are a major driver of the short run path of the economy. Consumer spending accounts for about 68% of GDP and consumer sentimentLinks to an external site. is a major factor in shifting Aggregate Demand. Do you expect consumer confidence and business expectations to improve in the months ahead? Utilizing the equation GDP= C+I+G+ (X-M) from Chapter 6 what is your forecast for the way the AD curve will shift between now and the end of 2023? Explain. Do you anticipate a recession between now and the end of 2023?arrow_forwardChoose two factors that could cause AD to shift in the months to come and explain the direction of the possible trend (to the right or to the left from the current level). One factor should influence Consumption, and another factor should influence Investment. Give real examples. Your post should be split into two paragraphs: The Consumption factor; The Investment factor.arrow_forwardHow can shipping delays and shortages of intermediate goods cause a recession? Why may these issues lead to a reduction in consumer spending? Consider how consumers change the timing of their purchases to reflect the market.arrow_forward
