Question

1. All of the following would cause a shift in supply curve except

A change in the price level

An increase in the real wages of workers

A decrease in productivity

The emergence of a new production technology

A tax on all manufactured goods

2. If a new technology increases productivity then short-run aggregate supply will

Shift right and output and price level will increase

Shift left and output and price level will increase

Shift right and output and price level will decrease

Shift left and output will increase and price level will decrease

Shift right and output will increase and price level will decrease

2. The price level increases due to demand pull inflation. As a result

Short-run aggregate supply will shift left

Short-run aggregate supply will shift right

There will be a movement up the short-run aggregate supply curve

There will be a movement down the short-run aggregate supply curve

The aggregate supply curve will not be impacted

*PLEASE INCLUDE A BRIEF EXPLANATION*

Explanation / Answer

Answer 1:

Option A. Since we take price level on vertical axis, thus any change in the price level will lead to movement along the supply curve and not shift of the supply curve.

Answer 2:

Option E. Increase in productivity by a new technology will shift short run aggregate supply curve to right and thus price level will decrease and output will increase.

Answer 3:

Option C. Increase in the price level will increase the amount of quantity supplied by the producer. Thus, there will be a movement up the short run aggregate supply curve of the producer.
