AP ECONOMICS CHAPTER 11 STUDY GUIDE 1. The aggregate demand curve shows the: A) inverse relationship between the price level and real GDP purchased. B) direct relationship between the price level and real GDP produced. C) inverse relationship between interest rates and real GDP produced. D) direct relationship between real-balances and real GDP purchased. 6. If the U.S. dollar appreciates in value relative to foreign currencies, then this will: A) increase aggregate demand. B) decrease aggregate demand. C) cause a movement downward along the aggregate demand curve. D) cause a movement upward along the aggregate demand curve. 7. Which set of events would most likely increase aggregate demand? A) an increase in incomes in foreign nations and a depreciation of the dollar B) an increase in incomes in foreign nations and an appreciation of the dollar C) a decrease in incomes in foreign nations and an appreciation of the dollar D) a decrease in incomes in foreign nations and a depreciation of the dollar 2. Which effect best explains the downward slope of the aggregate demand curve? A) a multiplier effect B) an income effect C) a substitution effect D) an interest rate effect 3. The interest rate effect indicates that a(n): A) decrease in the price level will increase the demand for money, increase interest rates, and decrease consumption and investment spending. B) decrease in the price level will decrease the demand for money, decrease interest rates, and increase consumption and investment spending. C) increase in the price level will increase the demand for money, reduce interest rates, and decrease consumption and investment spending. D) increase in the supply of money will increase interest rates and decrease interest-sensitive consumption and investment spending. 8. The relationship between the aggregate demand curve and the aggregate expenditures model is shown in the fact that: A) a decrease in the price level shifts the aggregate expenditures schedule downward and decreases real GDP. B) a decrease in the price level shifts the aggregate expenditures schedule upward and increases real GDP. C) an increase in the price level shifts the aggregate expenditures schedule upward and increases real GDP. D) an increase in the price level shifts the aggregate expenditures schedule downward and increases real GDP. 4. The real-balances effect suggests that a: A) lower price level will decrease the demand for money, decrease interest rates, and increase consumption and investment spending. B) lower price level will decrease the real value of many financial assets and therefore cause an increase in spending. C) lower price level will increase the real value of many financial assets and therefore cause an increase in spending. D) higher price level will increase the real value of many financial assets and therefore cause an increase in spending. 9. In the expenditures-output model, the price level is held constant and the aggregate expenditures schedule (C + Ig+ Xn) shifts upward. In the aggregate demandaggregate supply model this change would be equivalent to a(n): A) decrease in aggregate demand in the horizontal range of the aggregate supply curve. B) increase in aggregate demand in the horizontal range of the aggregate supply curve. C) increase in aggregate demand in the vertical range of the aggregate supply curve. D) decrease in aggregate demand in the vertical range of the aggregate supply curve. 5. The best explanation for why the aggregate demand curve is downsloping is that: A) the supply of money decreases when the price level decreases. B) businesses produce fewer goods and services when the price level increases. C) businesses produce more goods and services when the price level increases. D) people gain in purchasing power from financial assets when the price level decreases. 10. An increase in the price level in the aggregate expenditures model would: A) decrease aggregate expenditures and real GDP. B) increase aggregate expenditures and real GDP. C) increase aggregate expenditures and decrease real GDP. D) decrease aggregate expenditures and increase real GDP. Page 1 11. An increase in investment spending can be expected to shift the: A) aggregate expenditures curve downward and the aggregate demand curve leftward. B) aggregate expenditures curve upward and the aggregate demand curve leftward. C) aggregate expenditures curve downward and the aggregate demand curve rightward. D) aggregate expenditures curve upward and the aggregate demand curve rightward. 15. If the prices of imported resources decrease, then this event would most likely: A) decrease aggregate supply. B) increase aggregate supply. C) increase aggregate demand. D) decrease aggregate demand. 16. If the U.S. dollar appreciates in value relative to foreign currencies, then this will: A) increase aggregate supply. B) decrease aggregate supply. C) increase aggregate demand. D) cause a movement along the aggregate supply curve. 12. A decrease in consumer spending can be expected to shift the: A) aggregate expenditures curve downward and the aggregate demand curve leftward. B) aggregate expenditures curve upward and the aggregate demand curve leftward. C) aggregate expenditures curve downward and the aggregate demand curve rightward. D) aggregate expenditures curve upward and the aggregate demand curve rightward. 17. If personal income taxes and business taxes decrease, then this will: A) increase aggregate demand and aggregate supply. B) decrease aggregate demand and aggregate supply. C) decrease aggregate demand and increase aggregate supply. D) increase aggregate demand and decrease aggregate supply.
