Then, an increase in demand for exports shifts demand from AD; to AD₂. This causes GDPto increase to $7 billion and the price level to increase to 110. The federal government decidesto cut government spending in order to return to the long-run equilibrium and price level. Themarginal propensity to consume is 0.5. How much should the government reduce spending by?

7. Assume that the economy is initially operating at the natural level of output. An increase in consumer confidence will cause. A) a reduction in the real wage in the medium run. B) an increase in the real wage in the medium run. C) no change in the real wage in the medium run. D) ambiguous effects on the real wage in the medium run. E) none of the above
Suppose that the economy's long-run output level is produces accourding to the following production funciton: Y= AK^1/2L^1/2 (will attach picture of the function) and that A = 5, K = 400 and L = 100 A. What is the economic meaning of the powers of K and L? B. What is the level of output ? produced when the economy in long-run equilibrium. C. Suppose that aggregate demand in the economy is described by the following equation:Y^d = m/kP Where M is the money supply, P is the price level and k = 1/V (velocity of money). Explain carefully where this equation is derived from and its interpretation D. Suppose that M = 2000 and that k = 2. What is the price level P at which the economy is in long-run- equilibrium? Plot such an equilibrium on a diagram with P on the vertical axis and Y on the horizontal axis, by distinguishing between the short-run and the long-run equilibrium. E. Now suppose that starting from the equilibrium of (b) and (c), the Central Bank increases M to 3000. Calculate…
With COVID 19, the economy is experiencing unprecedented territory; businesses have to accommodate workers and customers for their safety with personal protective gears, and social distancing, such as limit the number of customers. In the meantime, many consumers are cutting their spending due to negative news, such as temporary pay cuts and economic uncertainty in near future. a. With the given information, what'd happen to the economy in short run? b. And what'd happen to the economy in long run, specifically, explain how long run adjustment occurs. State a new equilibrium price level and output in the economy and explain why using module 5. Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply. (It is assumed that the economy was initially in long run equilibrium and everything else stays constant.)
(a) Suppose the price level in an economy rises while the money wage rate remains constant. What happens to the quantity of real GDP supplied. How will this affect the aggregate supply or aggregate demand curve? What if the potential GDP increases? Which aggregate curve is affected and how?

Instructions: Enter your answers as whole numbers. A) What are the equilibrium price level and the equilibrium level of real output in this hypothetical economy? Is the equilibrium real output also necessarily the full-employment real output? B)If the price level in this economy is 150, will quantity demanded equal, exceed, or fall short of quantity supplied? By what amount? If the price level is 250, will quantity demanded equal, exceed, or fall short of quantity supplied? By what amount? C) Suppose that buyers desire to purchase $ 200 billion of extra real output at each price level. What are the new equilibrium price level and level of real output?
Refer to the following figure 1. For this economy, if the actual price level exceeds theexpected price level, how much output will the economyproduce in the short-run?

Assume that output began at its natural level. By drawing using AD-AS (Upward sloping) and Philips curves (graphs), analyze the short and long-run effects for these solutions. The government decreases the investment tax credit in order to discourage investment-My lecturer said it does not involve the movement of AS. so does it mean Philips curve graph along move along the curve ?
Suppose that consumer spending initially rises by $5 billion for every 1 percent rise in household wealth and that investment spending initially rises by $20 billion for every 1 percentage point fall in the real interest rate. Also assume that the economy’s multiplier is 4. a. If household wealth falls by 5 percent because of declining house values, and the real interest rate falls by 3 percentage points, in what direction and by how much will the aggregate demand curve initially shift at each price level?
Assume that (a)the price level is flexible upward but not downward and (b) the economy iscurrently operating at its full-employment output. Other things equal, how willeach of the following affect the equilibrium price level and equilibrium levelof real output in the short run?· An increase in aggregate demand.· A decrease in aggregate supply, with no change in aggregatedemand.· Equal increases in aggregate demand and aggregate supply.· A decrease in aggregate demand.· An increase in aggregate demand that exceeds an increase inaggregate supply.

Who are the buyers of real US GDP? 2- what assumptions cause the immediate -short-run aggregate supply curve to be horizontal? why is the long-run aggregate supply curve vertical? Explain the shape of the short-run aggregate supply curve . Why is the short-run curve relatively flat to the left of the full employment output and relatively steep to the right ? 3- why does a reduction in aggregate demand tend to reduce real output, rather than the price level? 4- Explain" unemployment can be caused by a decrease of aggregate demand or a decrease of aggregate supply ."In each case , specify the price level outcomes . 5- In early 2001 investment spending declined in the USA. In the 2 months follwing september , 11 2001 attacks on the US, consumption also declined . Use Ad-AS analysis to show the two impacts on Real GDP. 6- Using the concept of the multiplier ,…
