Multiple Choice

Figure 34-2. On the left-hand graph, MS represents the supply of money and MD represents the demand for money; on the right-hand graph, AD represents aggregate demand. The usual quantities are measured along the axes of both graphs.

-Refer to Figure 34-2. A decrease in Y from Y1 to Y2 is explained as follows:

• A) The Federal Reserve increases the money supply, causing the money-demand curve to shift from MD1 to MD2; this shift of MD causes r to increase from r1 to r2; and this increase in r causes Y to decrease from Y1 to Y2.
• B) An increase in P from P1 to P2 causes the money-demand curve to shift from MD1 to MD2; this shift of MD causes r to increase from r1 to r2; and this increase in r causes Y to decrease from Y1 to Y2.
• C) A decrease in P from P2 to P1 causes the money-demand curve to shift from MD1 to MD2; this shift of MD causes r to increase from r1 to r2; and this increase in r causes Y to decrease from Y1 to Y2.
• D) An increase in the price level causes the money-demand curve to shift from MD2 to MD1; this shift of MD causes r to decrease from r2 to r1; and this decrease in r causes Y to decrease from Y1 to Y2.
