Based on the below information, help Renwick economy find the equilibrium level of output. Aggregate Demand Aggregate Supply Equilibrium YAD = C + I + G YAS = A Kα L1-α YR =0.5YAD+ 0.5YAS C = 600 + βYD A = (1 + g) Ao YD = YR + TR - tYR K = 35 TR = 55 L = 80 G = 120 g = 6% I = 50 Ao = 150 t = 0.15 α = 0.65 Where C is private consumption, YD is disposable income; TR, G and I are transfer payments, government spending and total investment, respectively. A in the index of technology and K and L are capital and labour inputs. A0 is the initial levels of A and L, both assumed to be 150, while g is the growth rates. The MPC is 0.60. a.)

11. Which of he following statements accurately explain the scenario illustrated by these diagrams? a) Assuming ADo and AEo are the original positions of the AD and AE curves respectively, the original situation illustrated is on of a recessionary gap of 10. b) To restore full-employment equilibrium Aggregate Expenditures must be increased to AE1 which is equivalent to shifting the AD curve to AD1 c) Because the short-run Aggregate Supply (AS) curve is upward sloping, the shift in AD will be associated with some products price inflation. This will cause the AE curve to decline from AE1 to AE* because of the wealth, interest rate, and trade effects of inflation. d) All the above. e) Only (a) and (b) are true f) None of the above.
11. Which of the following statements about the Long-Run Aggregate Supply (LRAS) are true? a) The LRAS represents the full-employment level of real GDP. b) The LRAS represents the level of income and production consistent with resource markets equilibrium. c) The LRAS represents the potential production of the economy. d) All of the above. e) None of the above. 12. Which of the following describes the way in which the self-correcting mechanism of the economy resolves the problem of a recessionary gap? a) The recessionary gap is cured by an increase in government purchases of goods and services, which implies a shift to the right of the AD curve until full employment equilibrium is reestablished. b) The unemployment associated with a recessionary gap causes wages to fall, increasing Aggregate Supply and thus shifting the AS curve to the right until a full employment equilibrium is reestablished. c) The unemployment…

Suppose that a hypothetical economy has the following relationship between its real output and the input quantities necessary for producing that output: a. What is productivity in this economy?b. What is the per-unit cost of production if the price of each input unit is $2?c. Assume that the input price increases from $2 to $3 with no accompanying change in productivity. What is the new per-unit cost of production? In what direction would the $1 increase in input price push the economy’s aggregate supply curve? What effect would this shift of aggregate supply have on the price level and the level of real output?d. Suppose that the increase in input price does not occur but, instead, that productivity increases by 100 percent. What would be the new per-unit cost of production? What effect would this change in per-unit production cost have on the economy’s aggregate supply curve? What effect would this shift of aggregate supply have on the price level and the level of real output?
