8.The Aggregate Supply curve shows the level of real output that the business sector will produce at various possible price levels. a. Explain the Long Run Aggregate Supply curve and the assumptions that support its shape at full employment. List the assumptions, discuss the shape of the LR AS curve and why it takes that shape. b.Explain the Short Run Aggregate Supply curve and the assumptions that support its shape. List the assumptions, discuss the shape of the SR AS curve and why it takes that shape. Discuss the difference in the shape of the curve at levels below full employment GDP and what you see at levels above full-employment GDP.

(1) Suppose the economy is in long-run equilibrium. If there is a sharp increase in the expected price level, what do we expect to happen? Select one: (A) In the short run, the SRAS curve will shift left, real GDP and price will fall. (B) In the short run, SRAS will shift right, real GDP will rise and prices will fall. (C) In the short run, AD will shift left, real GDP and prices will fall. (D) In the short run, LRAS and SRAS will shift left, causing real GDP to fall.
16. Why is the aggregate supply curve completely vertical in the long run? A. Short-run business cycles do not affect short-run output. B. Aggregate supply is impossible to illustrate in the long run. C. A country’s total output will always be constant. D. A country’s total output is not affected by price in the long run.
3) Why the slope of the aggregate supply curve differs in the short-run and in the long-run? Why the long- run aggregate supply curve is vertical and why the short-run supply curve is upward sloping? Explain in detail.
10. Which of the following are reasons why the short-run Aggregate Supply curve shown in the right-hand diagrams may be vertical? a) The economy at this level of real GDP would be operating beyond the full-employmetn level. b) Inflationary expectations have set-in so, the owners of resources are acting on these inflationary expectations and insisting on higher resource prices in anticipation of future products price inflation. c) Short-run Aggregate Suply in the Classical model is always constant. d) All the above e) Only (a) and (b) are true. f) None of the above.
2. The Aggregate Supply (AS) curve slopes upward to reflect the profit motive of businesses. So, why are there two versions of the AS curve( i.e. short run and long- run). Discuss.
1.Draw Aggregate Demand, Short Run Aggregate Supply, and Long Run Aggregate Supply as if an economy is in both short run and long run equilibrium. 2. Suppose the price of oil (an input in the production of many goods) decreases. Show how this will affect the model starting from (1) above. What happens to GDP, The Price Level, and Potential Output? Is the economy in a recessionary gap or an inflationary gap? 3. Suppose that consumers feel confident about their futures. Show how this will affect the model starting from (1) above. What happens to GDP, The Price Level, and Potential Output? Is the economy in a recessionary gap or an inflationary gap? 4. Explain in detail and show graphically how the economy will naturally (No government or central bank intervention) return to long run equilibrium after the event from (3) above (don’t consider the event from part 2; only 1 and 3 are relevant to this question) . (the numbers are the numbers of the question from example in question 3 the 1…
2.1. In Figure 2 above, what are the factors that may cause the aggregate demand to shift from AD to AD1? What is the difference between demand pull inflation, cost push inflation, and recession? 2.2. Define and describe: the aggregate supply (AS) curve in the immediate short run. the aggregate supply (AS) curve in the short run. the aggregate supply (AS) in the long run.
