Explanation of Solution

Figure 1 shows the shift in the supply curve of labor force.

Principles of Macroeconomics (12th Edition), Chapter 11, Problem 1.1P , additional homework tip  1

In Figure 1, the vertical axis measures the price level and the horizontal axis measures the aggregate output. The upward sloping curves AS0 and AS1 are aggregate supply curves. The decrease in the size of labor force reduces the supply of labor in the market. It shifts the aggregate supply curve to the left (from AS0 to AS1).

Economics Concept Introduction

In Figure 2, the vertical axis measures the price level and the horizontal axis measures the aggregate output. The upward sloping curves AS0 and AS1 are aggregate supply curves. The increase in available capital increases the supply of capital in the market.  It shifts the supply curve from AS1 to AS0.

In Figure 3, the vertical axis measures the price level and the horizontal axis measures the aggregate output. The upward sloping curves AS0 and AS1 are aggregate supply curves. An increase in the productivity, as a result of a technological change, shifts the aggregate supply curve to the right (from AS1 to AS0).

In Figure 4, the vertical axis measures the price level and the horizontal axis measures the aggregate output. The upward sloping curves AS0 and AS1 are aggregate supply curves. The increase in the price of oil increases the supply of oil in the market. It shifts the aggregate supply curve rightward (from AS1 to AS0).
