    Recall that for equilibrium, AD = AS, Suppose AD and AS , both functions of real GDP (Y) and the price level (P), are known to be: AD : Y = 3000 - 200P AS : Y = 1500 + 100P Determine

  • current long-run equilibrium level of real GDP

    This is obtained as the point on the x-axis where the LRAS cuts the AD curve. Therefore, the long run equilibrium level of real GDP is 12 trillion of real dollars. b) What is the current long-run equilibrium price level?

  • supply curve

    The equations for the curves are given by the following: AD: YAD = 710-30P + 5G AS: YAS = 10+5P-2Poil where Y is real GDP, P is the price level, G is the level of government purchases and Poil is the world price of oil.

  • AD-AS and IS-LM question & diagram

    The new macroeconomic equilibrium is now given by the intersection of the AD and AS curves that is at the same level of real GDP, but with a higher price level.

  • AS/AD model



    You can think of the price level as either the GDP deflator or the CPI. The real level of output in the economy is measured by real GDP. The equilibrium in the AD-AS model will therefore determine the level of real GDP and the price level.

  • Graphing the AD and AS Curves

    The new equilibrium price level is 250 and the new equilibrium output is 400. This solution shows how to graph the Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply curves from AD and AS schedules.
