Assuming this market is representative of the economy as a whole, a negative
demand shock will:
1) increase both the price level and the quantity of output produced.
2) increase output, but leave prices unchanged.
O 3) lower the price level, but leave output unchanged.
4) raise the price level, but leave output unchanged.
d. A decrease in aggregate demand.
e. An increase in aggregate demand that
exceeds an increase in aggrega
supply.
