The following graph shows a decrease in aggregate demand (AD) in a hypothetical country. Specifically, aggregate demand shifts to the left from AD1AD1 to AD2AD2, causing the quantity of output demanded to fall at all price levels. For example, at a price level of 140, output is now $200 billion, where previously it was $300 billion.
The following table lists several determinants of aggregate demand.
Complete the table by indicating the change in each determinant necessary to decrease aggregate demand.

If the price level increases, what happens to the consumption function? Why?
Suppose the money market for some hypothetical economy is given by the following graph, which plots the money demand and money supply curves.
Assume the central bank in this economy (the Fed) fixes the quantity of money supplied.
Suppose the price level decreases from 150 to 125.
Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to show the impact of a decrease in the overall price level on the market for money.

Following the price level decrease, the quantity of money demanded at the initial interest rate of 9% will be
supplied by the Fed at this interest rate. As a result, individuals will attempt to
bonds and other interest-bearing assets, and bond issuers will realize that they
restored in the money market at an interest rate of
than the quantity of money
