At point X, the quantity of output demanded is $500 billion,and the price level is 120. Moving up along the AD curve from point X to point Y, the quantity of output demanded falls to $300 billion, and the pricelevel rises to 140.PRICE LEVEL170160150140130120110100900100X200AD300400500 600OUTPUT (Billions of dollars)700800?

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?
On a microeconomic demand curve, a decrease in price causes an increase in quantity demanded because the product in question is now relatively less expensive than substitute products. Explain why aggregate demand does not increase for the same reason in response to a decrease in the aggregate price level. In other words, what causes total spending to increase if it is not because goods are now cheaper?
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 is the equilibrium level of output? What is the equilibrium price level? B). Suppose that aggregate demand increases such that the amount of real output demanded rises by $ 7 billion at each price level. Insert the new values for real output demanded in the table below.
