Fig. 4.2). Given that supply is fixed then at any given quantity of money (M1) there will be a corresponding demand that varies inversely to the price level‚ i.e. a downward sloping demand curve and there will be an equilibrium price level that ‘clears the market’‚ i.e. demand equals supply. If the quantity of money is increased (M2) the demand curve will shift to the right‚ i.e. at the same price level demand will increase but‚ again‚ supply is fixed. A new equilibrium will be established at

Technological change enables firms to produce more from any given amount of facts of production. Therefore‚ technology increases potential GDP. So‚ an increase in potential GDP increases both- long run aggregate supply and short- run aggregate supply. b)Toyota and Honda build

typical idealized reaction can be represented as 2 Ca2SiO4(s) + 4 H2O(l) Ca3Si2O7. 3H2O(s) + Ca(OH)2(s). The hydrated silicate‚ called tobermorite gel‚ forms strong crystals that adhere by means of strong silicon-Oxygen bonds to the sand and aggregate (small rocks) that are mixed with the cement. Because the other product in this reaction is Calcium hydroxide‚ the mixture should be treated as a corrosive material while it is hardening. Cements used in construction can be characterized as being

Explain the aggregate supply in the short run. In the short-run‚ the aggregate supply curve is upward sloping. There are two main reasons why the quantity supplied increases as the price rises: 1. In the short-run‚ the nominal wage rate is fixed. As a result‚ an increasing price indicates higher profits that justify the expansion of output. 2. An alternate model explains that the AS curve increases because some nominal input prices are fixed in the short-run and as output rises‚ more production processes
