demand? (The "initial effect" here refers to the effect on AD after only the first round of
increased spending.)
What is the total effect of the tax cut on aggregate demand? Explain why it is different
from the initial effect.

Explain the process by which an increase in durable goods orders at a constant price level changes equilibrium expenditure and real GDP.
A planned increase in durable goods is an increase in planned investment. When planned investment increases, _______.
A.
the economy moves production into investment from consumption expenditure, government expenditure on goods and services, and exports. Real GDP decreases
B.
real GDP cannot change unless the price level also changes
C.
real GDP increases by an amount equal to the change in investment. Disposable income decreases to make up for the increase in investment so that the economy returns to its long-run equilibrium
D.
real GDP initially increases by an amount equal to the change in…
