The following graph shows an increase in short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) in a hypothetical economy. Specifically, short-run aggregate supply
shifts to the right from SRAS₁ to SRAS2, causing the quantity of output supplied at a price level of 125 to rise from $250 billion to $350 billion.
Review the graph and then complete the table that follows.

The following graph shows the short-run and long-run aggregate supply curves (SRAS and LRAS) for an economy.
Suppose there is a technological improvement that allows firms to reduce their costs of production permanently.
Drag one or both of the curves on the graph to illustrate the long-term effects of this change. If you don't believe there will be any long-term effects,
leave the curves where they are.
