Detailed explanation-1: -The long-run aggregate supply curve is vertical when a country is at full employment. The long-run aggregate supply curve is vertical because, in the long run, resource prices adjust to changes at the price level, which leaves no incentive for firms to change their output.

Detailed explanation-2: -The intersection of the economy’s aggregate demand and long-run aggregate supply curves determines its equilibrium real GDP and price level in the long run. The short-run aggregate supply curve is an upward-sloping curve that shows the quantity of total output that will be produced at each price level in the short run.

Detailed explanation-3: -The aggregate demand curve shows the relationship between the price level and real GDP demanded, holding everything else constant. – A movement along the AD curve will occur when the price level changes and the change in prices is not caused by a component of real GDP changing.

Detailed explanation-4: -The aggregate supply curve shifts to the left as the price of key inputs rises, making a combination of lower output, higher unemployment, and higher inflation possible. When an economy experiences stagnant growth and high inflation at the same time it is referred to as stagflation.
