Suppose the economy is initially in long run equilibrium Then suppose there is a drought that destroys much of the wheat crop if policymakers allow the economy to adjust to long-run equilibrium on its own, according to the model to aggregate demand and aggregate supply what happens to prices and output in the long run ?

A. Output rises; prices are unchanged from the initial value
B. Output and the price level are unchanged from their initial values
C. Output falls; prices are unchanged from the initial value
D. Prices fall; output is unchanged from its initial value

Suppose the price level falls but suppliers only notice that the price of their particular product has fallen Thinking there has been a fall in the relative price of their product they cut back on production, This is a demonstration of the ?

A. misperceptions theory of the short run aggregate supply curve
B. classical dichotomy theory of the short run aggregate supply curve
C. sticky price theory of the short run aggregate supply curve
D. sticky wage theory of the short run aggregate supply curve

According to the wealth effect aggregate demand slopes downward (negatively) because ?

A. lower prices increase the value of money holding and consumers spending increase
B. lower prices decrease the value of money holding and consumers spending decrease
C. lower prices reduce money holding increase lending, interest rates fall and investment spending increase
D. lower prices increase money holding decrease lending, interest rates rise and investment spending falls

Policy makers are said to “accommodate” an adverse supply shock if they ?

A. fail to respond to the adverse supply shock and allow the economy to adjust on its own.
B. respond to the adverse supply shock by decreasing aggregate demand which lower prices
C. respond to the adverse supply shock by decreasing short run aggregate supply
D. respond to the adverse supply shock by increasing aggregate demand, which further raises prices
