Explanation of Solution

Using the aggregate demand-supply model, the likely effects of the major tax cut when the economy is not operating at a capacity and the Fed accommodates by increasing the money supply is depicted in Figure 1.

Principles of Economics (12th Edition), Chapter 32, Problem 1.1P

In Figure 1, the horizontal axis depicts the aggregate output (GDP) and the vertical axis depicts the price level. The likely effects of the major tax cut when the economy is not operating at a capacity and the Fed accommodates by increasing the money supply is the increase in the level of real GDP which is likely to be inflationary in nature. The effect on the price level depends on the level of closeness to the capacity the economy is operating.

Aggregate supply (AS) changes with each of the following except:  Fiscal policy and monetary policy Potential GDP changes The money wage rate changes  The money prices of other resources change
While the economy is at potential output, the government increases spending. The following table describes the aggregate demand curves before and after an increase in government spending, where real GDP is expressed as the percent deviation from potential GDP and inflation is expressed as a percentage: Real GDP (Before) 2.0 1.0 0.0 -1.0 -2.0 Real GDP (After) 4.0 3.0 2.0 1.0 0.0 In the long run, what is the inflation rate after the increase in government spending? Inflation 3.0 4.0 5.0 7.0 9.0
