- Why is the aggregate demand curve downsloping? Specify how your explanation differs from the explanation for the downsloping demand curve for a single product. What role does the multiplier play in shifts of the aggregate demand curve?arrow_forward8. Which of the following explain why the Aggregate Demand curve is downward sloping? a) An increase in the price level decreases the purchasing power of money denominated wealth, which in turn causes a decline in on consumption spending. b) An increase in the price level decreases the purchasing power of money, which means that more money is needed to purchase goods. This causes buyers of investment and durable goods to require bigger loans to finance their purchases. This, in turn, causes an increase in the demand for loanable funds which leads to a higher interest rate. A higher interest rate will reduce the real purchases of investment and durable goods. c) An increase in the price level makes goods relatively more expensive to foreigners causing them to buy less which means that net exports will decline. d) All of the above. e) None of the above. 9. Which of the following explain why the Aggregate Supply curve is upward sloping?…arrow_forwardb. Using the model from this chapter, explain the effect on GDP from an increase in G by $5 billion. An increase in spending by $5 billion will add A. directly to Eisposable income by this amount and cause an increase in national income equal to less than $5 billion due to the multiplier effect. O B. directly to aggregate demand by this amount and lead to an eventual change in national income equal to $5 billion times the simple multiplier. O C. indirectly to aggregate demand and cause an eventual change in national income equal to $5 billion. OD. indirectly to disposable income, only a fraction of which (determined by the MPC) will then be spent, ie. national income will change by less than $5 billion.arrow_forward

Why the aggregate demand curve slopes downward The following graph shows the aggregate demand (AD) curve in a hypothetical economy. At point A, the price level is 140, and the quantity of output demanded is $300 billion. Moving down along the aggregate demand curve from point A to point B, the price level falls to 120, and the quantity of output demanded rises to $500 billion.

- 5. Determine the effect of the following events would on the aggregate demand (AD) curve whether shifting AD to the right (R) or to the left (L). Then indicate reasons why relating to the question 3. Think graphically! (a) After a budget surplus, Congress moves to cut personal income taxes. This will shift AD to the ) because ( increase, decrease ) in consumer spending. (b) A boost in research and development by computer companies produces more powerful and efficient computers and equipment. This will shift AD to the ( ) because ( increase, decrease ) in spending. (c) Income rises in several countries that trade heavily with the U.S. This will shift AD to the ( ) because ( increase, decrease ) in spending. What if prices fall across several industries? Then AD curve will (shift outward, shift inward, not shift ). This is because prices ( are, are not ) a component of AD. Rather, a fall in prices will cause a movement ( upward, downward ) along the AD curve.arrow_forwardSuppose that consumer spending initially rises by $5 billion for every 1 percent rise in household wealth and that investment spending initially rises by $20 billion for every 1 percentage point fall in the real interest rate.

- 3. Because of the slope of the aggregate demand curve, we can say that A) a decrease in the price level leads to a lower level of real GDP demanded. B) an increase in the price level leads to no change in the level of real GDP demanded. C) a decrease in the price level leads to a higher level of real GDP demanded. D) an increase in the price level leads to a higher level of real GDP demanded. 4. Which of the following best describes the "wealth effect"? A) When the price level falls, the real value of household wealth falls. B) When the price level falls, the nominal value of household wealth falls. C) When the price level falls, the nominal value of household wealth rises. D) When the price level falls, the real value of household wealth rises.arrow_forwardAggregate demand is defined as O the relationship between the total quantity of goods and services demanded and the income level, all other determinants of spending unchanged. the relationship between the total quantity of goods and services demanded and the price level, all other determinants of spending unchanged. the demand for goods and services generated by all sectors in the economy, holding price level constant.
