Use Table 26.3 to answer the following questions. Sketch an aggregate supply and aggregate demand diagram. What is the equilibrium output and price level? If aggregate demand shifts right, what is equilibrium output? If aggregate demand shifts left, what is equilibrium output? In this scenario, would you suggest using aggregate demand to alter the level of output or to control any inflationary increases in the price level?

10. Which of the following would cause the Aggregate Quantity Demanded to increase? a) An increase in the price level causing an increase in the purchasing power of the consumer's wealth b) A decrease in the price level making domestic prices less expensive relative to foreign prices c) An increase in the price level causing an increase in the market rate of interest d) A decrease in the price level causing a decrease in the purchasing power of the consumers' wealth e) None of the above
11. Explain why the following statements are false. A.) “The aggregate-demand curve slopes downward because it is the horizontal sum of the demand curves for individual goods.” B.) “The long-run aggregate-supply curve is vertical because economic forces do not affect long-run aggregate supply.” C.) “If firms adjusted their prices every day, then the short-run aggregate-supply curve would be horizontal.” D.) “Whenever the economy enters a recession, its long-run aggregate-supply curve shifts to the left.”

What effects would each of the following have on aggregate demandor aggregate supply, other things equal? In each case explain the expectedeffects on the equilibrium price level and the level of real output, assumingthat the price level is flexible both upward and downward. · A reduction in interest rates at each price level.· A major increase in spending for health care by the Federalgovernment.· A 10 percent across-the-board reduction in personal income taxrates.· A sizable increase in labor productivity (with no change innominal wages).· An increase in exports that exceeds an increase in imports (notdue to tariffs).
Suppose that the policy-makers of a foreign country decide to enact policy that reduces unemployment (at the expense of higher prices) just before an election. At the time of the election, however, the reduction in unemployment is much greater than expected, and the pesky inflation increase never occurs. The graph illustrates the economy before the government attempts to reduce unemployment. Change the graph to illustrate changes in the economy that could result in lower unemployment without an increase in prices. Note that LRAS represents long-run aggregate supply, SRAS represents short-run aggregate supply, and AD represents aggregate demand.
