Please answer question 4 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.

Coronavirus pandemic and resultant shutdown measures to contain it have plunged the economies around the world including Singapore into severe contraction. Assuming Singaporean economy was in long run equilibrium in the aggregate demand and supply (AD-AS) model before the pandemic (and consequent shutdown) started, answer the questions below: (do not explain what the lines in the graph mean. explain the effects of the respective demand/supply side factors) a. Assuming the contraction in the Singaporean economy is mainly driven by demand side factors, Show the short-run effects of this using the AD-AS model. Carefully explain in words (100 or less)(explain the demand side factors not what the lines in the graph are). b. Now assume that the contraction in the Singaporean economy is mainly driven by supply side factors, Show the short-run effects of this using the AD-AS model. Carefully explain in words (100 or less)(explain the supply side factors not what the lines in the graph are).…
Assume that (a) the price level is flexible upward but not downward and (b) the economy is currently operating at its full-employment output. Other things equal, how will each of the following affect the equilibrium price level and equilibrium level of real output in the short run?a. An increase in aggregate demand.b. A decrease in aggregate supply, with no change in aggregate demand.c. Equal increases in aggregate demand and aggregate supply.d. A decrease in aggregate demand.e. An increase in aggregate demand that exceeds an increase in aggregate supply.

Assume the economy of Chile is in a long-run equilibrium with full employment. In the short run,nominal wages are fixed.1. Draw a correctly labeled graph of short-run aggregate supply, long-run aggregate supply,and aggregate demand. Show each of the following.a. Equilibrium output, labeled Y1b. Equilibrium price level, labeled PL1 2. Assume that there is an increase in exports from Chile. On your graph in question 1,show the effect of higher exports on the equilibrium in the short run, labeling the newequilibrium output and price level Y2 and PL2, respectively.3. Based on your answer in part (b), what is the impact of higher exports on real wages inthe short run? Explain.4.

Suppose the aggregate demand (AD) and short-run aggregate supply (AS) schedules for an economy whose potential GDP (LRAS) equals to $2,700 are given by the table. 1.According to the macroeconomic perspectives, which zone is the short-run equilibrium falling into? 2.Would you expect unemployment rate of this economy to be relatively high or low, and explain why? What about the price level, a large or small concern, and why? 3. Now suppose aggregate demand increases by $700 at each price level; for example, the new aggregate demanded at a price level of 50 now equals to $4,200. Add a column of the new aggregate demanded at each price level in the above table. Plot a new AD curve (on the same graph you got in a.) and label the new equilibrium on the same graph.
In answering the question, you should emphasize the line of reasoning that generated your results; it is not enough to list the results of your analysis. Include correctly labeled diagrams, if useful or required, in explaining your answer. A correctly labeled diagram must have all axes and curves clearly labeled and must show directional changes. Assume that a country’s economy is in long-run equilibrium. Using a correctly labeled graph of aggregate demand, short-run aggregate supply, and long-run aggregate supply, show the short-run equilibrium price level, labeled PL1, and output level, labeled Y1.

3) Assume initially an economy is at its long run equilibrium. Then, consumerconfidence in this economy increases. What will happen to real GDP and aggregate price level inthe short run equilibrium following the increase in consumer confidence?
