b. flexible prices
c. rigid wages
2) Aggregated Quantity demanded Aggregate Quantity supplies Price Level
3500 2900 65

8) What does inflation do to the value of the oversimplified multiplier?
a) Inflation increases the value of the multiplier about the value of the oversimplified formula b) inflation decreases the value of the multiplier below the value of the oversimplified formula c) inflation increase the value of the multiplier unless the level of unemployment also rises
9) Equilibrium GDP will not exist where outputs exceeds aggregate demand because businesses will notice that
a) Inventory stocks are building up b) inventory stocks are being depleted c) their level of depreciation is rising
