Suppose the aggregate demand and short-run aggregate supply schedules for an economy whose potential output equals $2,700 are given by the table. Aggregate Quantity of Goods and Services Price Level Demanded Supplied 0.50 $3,500 $1,000 0.75 3,000 2,000 1.00 2,500 2,500 1.25 2,000 2,700 1.50 1,500 2,800 What is the short-run equilibrium level of real GDP"
27. Assuming Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply are initially at ADo and ASo respectively, which of the following explains the adjustment towards long-run equilibrium depicted in Figure C? a) Unemployment (resulting from the short-run equilibrium being below LRAS) causes wages to decline, which increases AS till long-run equilibrium is attained at full employment level of income and a lower price level. b) Government spending is increased, increasing AD to a level sufficient to attain long-run equilibrium at full employment level of income and a higher price level. c) In attempting to produce beyond the economy's natural level of GDP, producers bid up wages and prices of other resources, causing the AS to decrease to the point where long-run equilibrium is restored. d) Taxes are increased reducing AD to a level consistent with long-run equilibrium.

Suppose firms become very optimistic about future business conditions and invest heavily in new capital equipment. a. Draw an aggregate-demand/aggregate-supply diagram to show the short-run effect of this optimism on the economy. Label the new levels of prices and real output. Explain in words why the aggregate quantity of output supplied changes. b. Now use the diagram from part (a) to show the new long-run equilibrium of the economy. (For now, assume there is no change in the long run aggregate-supply curve.) Explain in words why the aggregate quantity of output demanded changes between the short run and the long run. c. How might the investment boom affect the long run aggregate-supply curve? Explain

(b) Assume that increased uncertainty has reduced business orders for equipment. What is the impact of the change in business orders on each of the following in the short run? (i) Aggregate demand. Explain. (ii) Employment (c) Based on the change in business orders, what will happen to the long-run economic growth rate? Explain.

For this discussion, imagine that one of the scenarios listed below were to occur: Foreign countries purchase an unusually large number of U. S. manufactured passenger and military airplanes. The average U. S. worker has a large increase in productivity. Federal personal income tax rates are reduced by an average of ten percent. What impact you think one of these changes in the United States would have on aggregate demand, aggregate supply, and real GDP.
In 2001, the economy of Boxtown had an aggregate demand and aggregate supply according to the following schedule: price level aggregate demand short-run aggregate supply long-run aggregate supply 70 $1275 $1005 $1300 80 $1250 $1070 $1300 90 $1225 $1135 $1300 100 $1200 $1200 $1300 110 $1175 $1265 $1300 120 $1150 $1330 $1300 130 $1125 $1395 $1300 What was Boxtown’s short-run equilibrium output in 2001? If Boxtown cut taxes, how would short-run equilibrium quantity change?Increase/Decrease
Include correctly labeled diagrams, if useful or required, in explaining your answers. A correctly labeled diagram must have all axes and curves clearly labeled and must show directional changes. If the question prompts you to “Calculate,” you must show how you arrived at your final answer. Assume that the United States economy is currently in a recession in a short-run equilibrium. e. Now assume instead that the government and the Federal Reserve take no policy action in response to the recession. i. In the long run, will the short-run aggregate supply increase, decrease, or remain unchanged? Explain. ii. In the long run, what will happen to the natural rate of unemployment?
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 Germany is in a long run equilibrium with full employment. Draw a correctly labeled graph of short run aggregate supply, long run aggregate supply, and aggregate demand. Show each of the following Equilibrium output, labeled Y1. Equilibrium price level, labeled PL1 2. Suppose that there is a significant boom in the German stock market, causing all stocks to increase in value by 15%. On your graph in part A, show the effect this will have on the equilibrium in the short run, labeling the new equilibrium output and price level Y2 and PL2, respectively. 3. Using a correctly labeled graph of the Phillips Curve, show how this change will affect the economy. 4. What two fiscal policy options does the federal government have to fix the market imbalance? Explain how each would affect the economy.
