AGGREGATE SUPPLY

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Suppose that nominal wages fall and productivity rises in a particular economy. Other things equal, the aggregate:
A
demand curve will shift leftward.
B
supply curve will shift rightward.
C
supply curve will shift leftward.
D
expenditures curve will shift downward.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nominal wages increase, and the short-run aggregate supply curve shifts right until potential output is greater than actual output.

Detailed explanation-2: -The aggregate supply curve shifts to the right as productivity increases or the price of key inputs falls, making a combination of lower inflation, higher output, and lower unemployment possible.

Detailed explanation-3: -Shifts in the short run aggregate supply curve are caused by changes in inflationary expectations; changes in worker force and capital stock availability; changes in government action (not the same as government expenditure); changes in productivity; and supply shocks.

Detailed explanation-4: -When wage rates rise the short-run aggregate supply curve shifts to the right. There is a rise in labor productivity in the economy.
