• If Sandy had struck on a weekend, people would have missed fewer work days. As a result, SRAS would've decreased but not by a large amount. So, the SRAS curve would shift from SRAS1 to SRAS2.

Answer- option C

If SRAS shifts to SRAS2, the real GDP at the intersection of AD1 and SRAS2 would be Y2.

Answer-option D
