Explanation / Answer

1. Four components of aggregate demand are consumption(C), investment(I), Government expenditure(G) and net export(NX). AD is sum of these 4 components. Hence, option D is the answer.

2. The phenomenon is known as the wealth effect. Wealth effect states that real value of money depends on the price level. This is because, for a given or fixed amount of money, a lower price level provides more purchasing power per unit of currency. So, when price level Declines you can buy more real goods and services with your fixed bank amount.

Answer- option B

3. When consumers and businesses want to hold larger money balances due to increase in price level(inflation), the central bank will slow down the money supply to stabilize the Economy. This will restrict the supply of loanable funds as savings decreases. Reduction in supply of loanable funds will cause an increase in interest rate.

Answer- option D

4. Downward slope of aggregate demand can be explained by pigou's wealth effect or simply, wealth effect. Real value of money always depends on the price level and for a given amount of money, lower price level provides more purchasing power per unit of currency. So, a drop in price level will make consumers more wealthier and will induce them to spend more, Therefore AD will increase.

Answer- option A
