Refer to the graph shown. In 1975 U.S. President Gerald Ford instituted a large tax cut. At the same time, the Fed expanded the money supply. The effect of these policies on the AD curve is best shown as a movement from: AD1 ADO AD2 Real output A to B O DtoA O A to D B to A

Explanation / Answer

A large tax cut increases the disposable income. So the aggregate demand is increased. At the same time, money supply is increased. As a result interest rate will be decreased. People want to consume more instead of saving at a low-interest rate. So aggregate demand will be increased. In both cases, AD curve will shift to the right.

The shift from D to A indicates demand is increased.

Movement along the demand curve is not possible as demand is changed not by the price change. Other things affect demand.

The second option is correct.
