$280; $220. While the price level increase from 100 to 125 [in aggregate supply schedule AS(P100)], producers experience higher prices for their products. Since nominal wages are constant, profits increase and producers raise output to Q = $280. Whereas the price level drop from 100 to 75, profits decline and producers adjust their output to Q = $75. These are short-run responses to changes into the price level.
