Multiple Choice

The diagram below shows an AD/AS model for a hypothetical economy.The economy begins in long-run equilibrium at point A. FIGURE 24-3
-Refer to Figure 24-3.After the negative aggregate demand shock shown in the diagram (from to ) ,which of the following describes the adjustment process that would return the economy to its long-run equilibrium?

• A)Wages would eventually fall,causing the AD curve to shift to the right,returning to the original equilibrium at point A.
• B)Wages would eventually fall,causing the AS curve to shift slowly to the right,reaching a new equilibrium at point E.
• C)Wages would increase,causing the AS curve to shift to the right,reaching a new equilibrium at point E.
• D)Wages would increase,causing the AD curve to shift to the right,returning to the original equilibrium at point A.
• E)Potential output would decrease from 1000 to 900 and a new long-run equilibrium would be established at point D.
