Unit 3 Graphical Analysis Quiz
1. Draw 3 different AD / AS graphs: one demonstrating equilibrium, one demonstrating an
economy in a recession, and one demonstrating an economy during times of inflation. (make
sure to label each graph what they are as well as label everything on each axis)
a. equilibrium or optimal
b. recession
c. inflation
2. What are the 3 reasons that AD is downward sloping and briefly explain each? Then graph a
change along the curve.
a. Wealth Effect: higher price levels reduce the purchasing power of the public's accumulated
financial assets. The real value of assets with fixed money values (savings
accounts/bonds) diminishes, thus the the public is poorer in real terms and will reduce its
spending.

rising interest rate, consumption and investment fall.
c. Foreign-Purchases Effect: as price level rises, there is substitution of cheaper foreign goods
and consumption of domestic goods falls, reducing net exports. As price level here falls,
there is increased buying of domestic goods, increasing net exports.
d. Graphing movement along the AD curve
3. In the Keynesian model, if taxes and government spending go in the same direction by the
same amount, what is the net result?
4. Give me 3 things that can shift out the SRAS or LRAS. Demonstrate what this shift looks like
and does to equilibrium price levels and output levels
