The graph shows the economy in long-run equilibrium at point A. Now assume that there is a large increase in demand for U.S. exports. 1.) Use the line drawing tool to show the resulting short-run equilibrium on your diagram. Label any new aggregate demand or aggregate supply curve as AD, SRAS or LRAS as appropriate. 2.) Use the point drawing tool to locate the new short-run equilibrium point. Label this point B. Now consider the adjustment of the economy back to long-run equilibrium. 3.) Use the line drawing tool to show the resulting long-run equilibrium on your diagram. Label any new aggregate demand or aggregate supply curve appropriately. 4.) Use the point drawing tool to locate the new long-run equilibrium point. Label this point C. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects.
