According to the "misperception effect" explanation of short-run aggregate supply, firms increase output as the price level rises because they mistake the increase in overall prices for an increase in the relative price of their own output. T/F?

True

If input prices adjusted just as quickly as output prices, the profit effect leading to an increase in RGDP supplied would disappear. T/F?

True

If net exports are negative, then aggregate demand will be less than the sum of consumption, investment, and government purchases. T/F?

True

If there is currently a recessionary gap, a decrease in aggregate demand would make the recessionary gap larger. T/F?

True

The SRAS curve is vertical at the natural level of real output. T/F?

True

The aggregate supply curves show how much a nation's businesses are willing and able to produce at each price level. T/F?

True

The economy is in long-run equilibrium only when the short run aggregate supply curve intersects the aggregate demand curve along the long run aggregate supply curve. T/F?

True

Which of the following is true when there is a recessionary gap?

A reduction in the price level will cause the aggregate demand curve to shift to the left. T/F?

False

If the overall price level decreases, then the aggregate demand curve will shift to the right. T/F?

False

If the overall price level increases, it will cause a decrease in the quantity of real goods and services demanded but not a change in aggregate demand curve. T/F?

False

If the price level in the United States decreases, domestic goods will become relatively cheaper than foreign goods, the demand for U.S.-made goods will increase, and the U.S. aggregate demand curve will shift to the right. T/F?

False

If there is currently an inflationary gap, an increase in aggregate demand will make the inflationary gap smaller, but a decrease in aggregate demand would make the inflationary gap larger. T/F?

False

Imports are not included in GDP because they do not reflect output produced within the domestic economy. T/F?

False

The interest rate effect helps explain why a lower price level will reduce the quantity of real goods and services demanded as an economy moves down along its aggregate demand curve. T/F?

False

Increases

In an open economy, the real level of U.S. exports and the quantity of RGDP demanded ______ the price level.

True

Which of the following would lead to an increase in aggregate demand?

an increase in consumer confidence

In an open economy, as the price level increases, a(n) ____ in demand in the quantity of domestic goods results in a(n) ____ in the quantity of RGDP demanded.

decrease, decrease

does not change

Holding all other things constant, when the price level falls, interest rates:

falls and firms want to borrow more for new plants and equipment and households want to borrow more for homebuilding.

The short-run aggregate supply curve:

normally slopes upward to the right because the costs of labor and other inputs are relatively fixed in the short run.

Holding all other things constant, when the price level rises, interest rates:

rise and firms will want to borrow less for new plants and equipment and households will want to borrow less for homebuilding.

As the price level decreases, other things being equal, .......
