$250; $250. In the long run, a rise in the price level to 125 leads to nominal wage increase. The AS(P100) schedule alter to AS(P125) and Q returns to $250, now at a price level of 125. In the long run, a reduction in price level to 75 leads to lower nominal wages, yielding aggregate supply schedule AS(P75). Equilibrium Q returns to $250, now at a price level of 75.
