True/False
1. Aggregate demand reflects a positive relationship between the price level and the amount of
real output demanded. F ( supply – supplier)
6. A movement along a fixed aggregate demand curve is the same as a shift in aggregate
demand. F ( not same)
8. a change in aggregate demand is caused by a change in the price level, other things equal. F
10. a large decline in households borrowing will increase consumption spending and aggregate
demand.F
12. appreciation of the dollar relative to foreign currencies will tend to increase net exports and
aggregate demand.F ( Decrease)
13. The aggregate supply curve is vertical in the longrun at the full- employment level of output.
T
16.productivity is a measure of real output per unit of input. T
17. Per unit production cost is determined by dividing total input cost by units of output F total
18. at the equilibrium price level, the real domestic output purchased is equal to the real domestic
output produced T
19. an increase in AD will increase both the price level and real domestic output. T
20. An increase in AD associated with cost push inflation.F ( demanad)
24. A decrease in AS decrease the equilibrium real domestic out put and increase the price level,
resulting in cost push inflation T

Suppose that real domestic output in an economy is 50 units, the quantity of inputs is 10, and the
price of each input is $2. Answer questions 10,11, 12 and 13 on the basis of this information

a. $0.4
b. $0.5
c. $2.5
d. $3.5
12. If productivity increased such that 60 units are now produced with the quantity of inputs still
equal to 10, then per-unit production costs would
a. remain unchanged and aggregate supply would remain unchanged
b. increase and aggregate supply would decrease
c. decrease and aggregate supply would increase
d. decrease and aggregate supply would remain decrease
13. All else equal, if the price of each input increases from $2 to $4, productivity would
a. decrease from $4 to $2 and aggregate supply would decrease
b. decrease from $5 to $3 and aggregate supply would decrease
c. decrease from $4 to $2 and aggregate supply would increase
d. remain ungchanged and aggregate supply would decrease
14. If Congress passed much stricter laws to control the air pollution from the businesses, this
action would tend to
