Aggregate Supply and Aggregate Demand show the relationship between economic output
(GDP) and price levels in the macro-economy at a given point in time.
Define the terms ‘Aggregate Demand’ and ‘Aggregate Supply.’
State TWO (2) monetary and TWO (2) fiscal policies that government can adopt,
to effect change in Aggregate Demand.

Suppose the government adopts Andrew’s policy. (i) Will the government increase or decrease spending? (ii) The government cuts the income tax rate. After cutting the income tax rate, the total income tax revenue collected increases. Explain why. (iii) Will Andrew’s policy be more effective if MPC is smaller?
