government purchases.

consumption spending.

the level of technology.

QUESTION 11

According to the interest rate effect, a decrease in the price level will

cause interest rates to fall, which generates an increase in borrowing, so that total planned real expenditures increase.

decrease the real value of money balances, which causes total planned real expenditures to increase.

increase the real value of money balances, which causes interest rates to increase, thereby reducing total planned expenditures.

lead to a decrease in net exports, which causes total planned real expenditures to decrease.

0.42 points   

QUESTION 12

According to the real-balance effect, an increase in the price level will

decrease total planned real expenditures because of an increase in interest rates.

leave total planned real expenditures unchanged since the price level of all goods has increased.

lead to a corresponding increase in total planned real expenditures since businesses are now earning higher profits.

decrease total planned real expenditures as a result of a decrease in the real value of money balances.

QUESTION 15

The aggregate demand curve is

vertical if full employment exists in the economy.

horizontal if full employment exists in the economy.

downward sloping because more goods are produced as per unit cost of producing each item falls.

downward sloping because of the real-balance, interest rate, and open economy effects.

an increase in labor productivity.

an increase in the marginal income tax rate.

an increase in government expenditures.

an increase in the quantity of money in circulation.

QUESTION 2.

A price level increase tends to reduce net exports, thereby reducing the amount of real goods and services purchased in the United States. Economists refer to this phenomenon as

Answer: a. Open Economy effect

Explanation: Net exports fall whenever the price of domestic goods increases with respect to the price of foreign goods, thereby reducing the aggregate expenditure. This phenomenon is called open economy or international trade effect.

QUESTION 3

The long run aggregate supply curve is vertical because

Answer: d. a change in the level of prices will have no effect on real output in the long-run.

Explanation: LAS curve shows the relationship between Price level and ouptut in the long run. In LAS, output is potential output. Potential output is the output which is obtained when resources ( inputs to production ) are fully utilised. When price level rises, then in long run input prices also rises. Input prices here refer to wages to labour, rent on land, interest rate on capital. This rise in input prices maintains the level of demand and thereby the production.

QUESTION 4

The interest rate effect is part of the reason

Answer: b. The aggregate demand curve is downward sloping.

Explanation: Interest rate Effect: Increase in price level means households and firms will require more money to purchse their necessities. However, the supply of money is fixed. But demand has increased, this results in increase in interest rate. Increase in interest rate will result in decline of spendings which involve interest rate. In this way Interest rate effect causes the negative relationship between price level and the demand.

QUESTION 5

Economic growth is demonstrated by the LRAS as it

Answer: (a).shifts to the right.

Explanation: Economic growth is measured by increase in Output. And , LRAS shifts right when output increases.
