What is the relationship between aggregate demand and the price level?

  1. Positive

  2. Negative

  3. No relationship


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

There is an inverse relationship between aggregate demand and the price level, known as the aggregate demand curve. As the price level increases, aggregate demand decreases, and vice versa.

What are the main components of aggregate demand?

  1. Consumption, Investment, Government Spending, Net Exports

  2. Consumption, Investment, Savings, Net Exports

  3. Consumption, Investment, Government Spending, Savings


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Aggregate demand is the total demand for goods and services in an economy, and it is composed of consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports.

What is the relationship between aggregate supply and the price level?

  1. Positive

  2. Negative

  3. No relationship


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

There is a positive relationship between aggregate supply and the price level, known as the aggregate supply curve. As the price level increases, aggregate supply also increases, and vice versa.

What are the main components of aggregate supply?

  1. Labor, Capital, Technology, Natural Resources

  2. Labor, Capital, Savings, Natural Resources

  3. Labor, Capital, Technology, Savings


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Aggregate supply is the total supply of goods and services in an economy, and it is composed of labor, capital, technology, and natural resources.

What is the equilibrium price level?

  1. The price level at which aggregate demand equals aggregate supply

  2. The price level at which aggregate demand is greater than aggregate supply

  3. The price level at which aggregate demand is less than aggregate supply


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The equilibrium price level is the price level at which the quantity of goods and services demanded is equal to the quantity of goods and services supplied.

What is the effect of an increase in aggregate demand on the equilibrium price level?

  1. It increases

  2. It decreases

  3. It remains the same


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

An increase in aggregate demand shifts the aggregate demand curve to the right, leading to a higher equilibrium price level.

What is the effect of an increase in aggregate supply on the equilibrium price level?

  1. It increases

  2. It decreases

  3. It remains the same


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

An increase in aggregate supply shifts the aggregate supply curve to the right, leading to a lower equilibrium price level.

What is the effect of a decrease in aggregate demand on the equilibrium quantity of output?

  1. It increases

  2. It decreases

  3. It remains the same


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A decrease in aggregate demand shifts the aggregate demand curve to the left, leading to a lower equilibrium quantity of output.

What is the effect of an increase in aggregate supply on the equilibrium quantity of output?

  1. It increases

  2. It decreases

  3. It remains the same


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

An increase in aggregate supply shifts the aggregate supply curve to the right, leading to a higher equilibrium quantity of output.

What is the role of monetary policy in aggregate demand?

  1. It can increase or decrease aggregate demand

  2. It can only increase aggregate demand

  3. It can only decrease aggregate demand


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Monetary policy can be used to influence aggregate demand by changing interest rates and the money supply.

What is the role of fiscal policy in aggregate demand?

  1. It can increase or decrease aggregate demand

  2. It can only increase aggregate demand

  3. It can only decrease aggregate demand


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Fiscal policy can be used to influence aggregate demand by changing government spending and taxes.

What is the relationship between inflation and aggregate demand?

  1. Inflation is positively related to aggregate demand

  2. Inflation is negatively related to aggregate demand

  3. There is no relationship between inflation and aggregate demand


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

An increase in aggregate demand can lead to higher inflation, and vice versa.

What is the relationship between unemployment and aggregate demand?

  1. Unemployment is positively related to aggregate demand

  2. Unemployment is negatively related to aggregate demand

  3. There is no relationship between unemployment and aggregate demand


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

An increase in aggregate demand can lead to lower unemployment, and vice versa.

What is the long-run aggregate supply curve?

  1. A vertical line at the full-employment level of output

  2. A horizontal line at the full-employment level of output

  3. A positively sloped line


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In the long run, the aggregate supply curve is vertical at the full-employment level of output, indicating that the economy cannot produce more output without causing inflation.

What is the short-run aggregate supply curve?

  1. A vertical line at the full-employment level of output

  2. A horizontal line at the full-employment level of output

  3. A positively sloped line


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In the short run, the aggregate supply curve is positively sloped, indicating that the economy can produce more output at higher prices.
