Detailed explanation-1: -Demand-pull inflation is inflation caused by an increase in AD. As you can see on the graph below, if there is an increase in AD the price level increases. Inflation is the rate of increase in the price level. A decrease in AD will cause the level of output to decline indicating higher unemployment.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the most general sense (and assuming ceteris paribus conditions), an increase in aggregate demand corresponds with an increase in the price level; conversely, a decrease in aggregate demand corresponds with a lower price level.

Detailed explanation-3: -The increased demand for a fixed supply of money causes the price of money, the interest rate, to rise. As the interest rate rises, spending that is sensitive to rate of interest will decline.

Detailed explanation-4: -An increase in AD (shift to the right of the curve) could be caused by a variety of factors. 1. Increased consumption: An increase in consumers wealth (higher house prices or value of shares) Lower Interest Rates which makes borrowing cheaper, therefore, people spend more on credit cards.

Detailed explanation-5: -Aggregate demand represents the total demand for these goods and services at any given price level during the specified period. Aggregate demand eventually equals gross domestic product (GDP) because the two metrics are calculated in the same way. As a result, aggregate demand and GDP increase or decrease together.
