Explanation of Solution

The equilibrium in the economy is obtained at the intersection of the aggregate demand and the aggregate supply curve in the economy. When there is a decrease in the price of foreign oil in the economy, then there will be an increase in the profitability of the firm as the cost of purchase of the foreign oil decreases whereas the domestic price level remains the same. When the profit increases in the economy, then there will be an increase in the output which means that there will be a rightward shift in the AS curve in the economy. When the AS curve shifts towards the right, then there will be a decline in the price level in the economy whereas an increase in the output level in the economy which are the consequences of the shift in the AS curve.
