    The logic of the multiplier is that as government spending increases,

    • The aggregate demand curve shifts to the right, causing output and income to increase. Then the additional consumption generated by the additional income causes a further increase in the aggregate demand curve.

    • The aggregate demand curve shifts to the left, causing output and income to decrease. Then the resulting reduction in consumption and income causes a further decrease in the aggregate demand curve.

    • Output, income and consumption remain unchanged, allowing government spending to have an indefinite ripple effect throughout the economy.

    • The total shift in aggregate demand is identical to the initial shift in aggregate demand.

    Correct Answer
    A. The aggregate demand curve shifts to the right, causing output and income to increase. Then the additional consumption generated by the additional income causes a further increase in the aggregate demand curve.
  • 3. 

    In the long run, an increase in aggregate demand will:

    • Increase output but leave the level of prices unchanged.

    • Increase prices but leave the level of output unchanged.

    • Increase both prices and output.

    • Leave both output and prices unchanged.

    Correct Answer
    A. Increase prices but leave the level of output unchanged.

    Correct Answer
    A. A decrease in net exports.
  • 5.

    According to the interest rate effect, with a given money supply in the economy:

    • A lower price level will lead to lower interest rates and higher consumption and investment spending.

    • A lower price level will lead to lower interest rates and lower consumption and investment spending.

    • A higher price level will lead to higher interest rates, lower consumption, and higher investment spending.

    • A higher price level will lead to lower interest rates, higher consumption and higher investment spending.

    Correct Answer
    A. A lower price level will lead to lower interest rates and higher consumption and investment spending.

    • Market demand.

    • Aggregate demand.

    • Labor demand.

    • Each and every demand curve, or the sum of market demands in the economy.

    Correct Answer
    A. Aggregate demand.
  • 9. 

    If the price level increases, then:

    • The economy will move up and to the left along a stationary aggregate demand curve.

    • The aggregate demand curve will shift to the right.

    • The aggregate demand curve will shift to the left.

    • None of the above.

    Refer to the figure below. An increase in the money supply moves the AD curve from the initial AD curve to the curve labeled: - ProProfs

    Refer to the figure below. An increase in the money supply moves the AD curve from the initial AD curve to the curve labeled:

    • Increased AD.

    • Decreased AD.
