Explanation / Answer

Based on the figure,the country's overall productivity increased would cause the long run equilibrium point to change from point B to point D.

When overall productivity of the country increases, the aggregate supply curve shifts to the right. This situation results in higher output & lower unemployment.The higher level of productivity shifts the SRAS curve to the right means there is a rise in real GDP & fall in the price of major inputs. Improved productivity means production of greater quantity of output at each pricelevel.
