Assume that the aggregate supply and demand schedules for a hypothetical economy are as shown below:
Use these sets of data to graph aggregate supply curves and the aggregate demand curves.
1. Calculate the equilibrium price level and the equilibrium level of real output in this hypothetical economy? Is the equilibrium real output also necessarily the full-employment real output?
2. Describe why will a price level of 150 not be an equilibrium price level in this economy?
3. Assume that buyers desire to purchase $200 billion of extra real output at each price level. Draw in the new aggregate demand curve as AD1. Explain what factors might cause this change in aggregate demand? Determine the new level of real output and the equilibrium price level?
