Exam 18: Extending the Analysis of Aggregate Supply

Suppose the full employment level of real output (Q) for a hypothetical economy is $500, the price level (P) initially is 100, and prices and wages are ﬂexible both upward and downward. Refer to the Accompanying short-run aggregate supply schedules. If the price level unexpectedly declines from 100 to 75, the level of real output in the short run will
