- Suppose firms are optimistic about the outlook of the economy and they decide to increase investment. Also suppose that, simultaneously, there is a reduction in business taxes. Use the AD-AS graph to show what happens to the price level and output as a result.arrow_forwardReview the problem shown in the Work It Out titled "Interpreting the AD/AS Model." Like the information provided in that feature, Table 24.2 shows information on aggregate supply, aggregate demand, and the price level for the imaginary country of Xurbia.

Identify the equilibrium. Imagine that, as a result of a government tax cut, aggregate demand becomes higher by 50 at every price level. Identify the new equilibrium. How will the new equilibrium alter output? How will it alter the price level? What do you think will happen to employment?arrow_forwardWhy the AD CURVE has a negative slopearrow_forward
- Use the following scenario for the next two questions. Suppose that the federal government decides to forgive all current (and future) outstanding student loans (estimated to total around $1.6 trillion as of early 2020). When thinking about the AD/AS model, which curve would this shift in the short-run, and in which direction?

- The imaginary country of Harris Island has the aggregate supply and aggregate demand curves as Table 24.3 shows. a. Identify the (i) equilibrium basing from the AD/AS diagram attached. b. Would you expect unemployment in this economy to be relatively high or low? c. Would you expect concern about inflation in this economy to be relatively high or low? d. Imagine that consumers begin to lose confidence about the state of the economy, and so AD becomes lower by 275 at every price level. Identify the new aggregate equilibrium. e. How will the shift in AD affect the original output, price level, and employment?arrow_forwardSuppose concerns about the size of the federal budget deficit lead theU.S.Congress to cut all funding for research and development for ten years. Assuming this has an impact on technology growth, what does the AD/AS model predict would be the likely effect on equilibrium GDP and the price level?arrow_forwardIn the AD/AS model assume 2019 began with potential real GDP = $19.7 trillion, while actual real GDP = $19.0 trillion and the Price Level (GDP Deflator) = 210. A year later the Price Level = 214 and actual real GDP = $18.9. Based on their relative effects on the AD/AS model, which of the following scenarios best explains this new outcome? The effect of %3D Group of answer choices an increase in government spending is MORE than the effect of decreased electricity prices. an increase in wages is LESS than the effect of a decrease in government spending. a decrease in oil prices is MORE than the effect of positive consumer expectations. an increase in inflationary expectations is MORE than the effect of increased government spending.arrow_forward
