The following graph represents the short-run aggregate supply curve (SRAS) based on an expected price level of 120. The economy's full- employment output level is $9 trillion. Major unions across the country have recently negotiated three-year wage contracts with employers. The wage contracts are based on an expected price level of 120, but the actual price level turns out to be 160. Show the short-run effect of the unexpectedly high price level by dragging the curve or moving the point to the appropriate position.

Interpret the change you drew on the previous graph by filling in the blanks in the following paragraph: less/more The higher-than-expected price level causes firms to earn profit than they expected on each unit of output they produce, and, therefore, decrease/increaseir production level. At the same time, the real value of wages and other resource prices is lower/higher than workers and they firms expected when they signed long-term contracts. As a result, the economy as a whole produces at a level output, and the unemployment rate is than its natural rate. its full-employment above/below
