Which of the following is incorrect?


A) As the U.S. price level rises, U.S. goods become relatively more expensive so that U.S. exports fall and U.S. imports rise.
B) As the price level falls, the demand for money declines, the interest rate declines, and interest-rate-sensitive spending increases.
C) When the price level increases, real balances increase and businesses and households find themselves wealthier and therefore increase their spending.
D) Given aggregate demand, an increase in aggregate supply increases real output and, assuming downward-flexible prices, reduces the price level.

The real-balances effect indicates that


A) an increase in the price level will increase the demand for money, increase interest rates, and reduce consumption and investment spending.

C) a higher price level will increase the real value of many financial assets and therefore increase spending.
D) a higher price level will decrease the real value of many financial assets and therefore reduce spending.

The relationship between the aggregate demand curve and the aggregate expenditures model is derived from the fact that


A) a decrease in the price level shifts the aggregate expenditures schedule downward and decreases equilibrium GDP.
B) a decrease in the price level shifts the aggregate expenditures schedule upward and increases equilibrium GDP.
C) an increase in the price level shifts the aggregate expenditures schedule upward and increases equilibrium GDP.
D) an increase in the price level shifts the aggregate expenditures schedule downward and increases equilibrium GDP.

The aggregate expenditures model and the aggregate demand curve can be reconciled because, other things equal, in the aggregate expenditures model,

B) an increase in the price level increases the real value of wealth.
C) the level of aggregate expenditures and therefore the level of real GDP vary inversely with the price level.
D) the level of aggregate expenditures and therefore the level of real GDP vary directly with the price level.
