AGGREGATE DEMAND

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Aggregate Demand increases as the price level decreases because:
A
consumers are more willing to buy a good as its price falls.
B
as price falls, real income increases and consumption increases which increases aggregate demand.
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A second reason the aggregate demand curve slopes downward lies in the relationship between interest rates and investment. A lower price level lowers the demand for money, because less money is required to buy a given quantity of goods.

Detailed explanation-2: -Income and Wealth As household wealth increases, aggregate demand typically increases. Conversely, a decline in wealth usually leads to lower aggregate demand. When consumers are feeling good about the economy, they tend to spend more and save less.

Detailed explanation-3: -At the higher price level, the consumption, investment, and net export components of aggregate demand will all fall; that is, there will be a reduction in the total quantity of goods and services demanded, but not a shift of the aggregate demand curve itself.

Detailed explanation-4: -If consumption increases i.e. consumers are spending more, therefore aggregate demand for goods and services will increase. Additionally, if investment increases i.e. if there is a fall in interest rates, then production will increase as technology improves and output increases. Therefore, demand will rise.
