(a) 2 points: One point is earned for a correctly labeled graph of the money market. One point is earned for showing a downward shift of the money demand curve and showing a decrease in the nominal interest rate using arrows, labels or dotted lines. (b) 1 point: One point is earned for stating that bond prices will rise in the short run. (c) 2 points: One point is earned for stating that the price level will rise. One point is earned for the explanation that the price level increases because aggregate demand increases, and aggregate demand increases because interest- sensitive spending (investment, consumption or net exports) increases. (d) 1 point: One point is earned for stating that the Fed could sell bonds to decrease the money supply and raise the interest rate back to the original level.

Instructions for the 2010 Free Response Question #1: 1.Get in pairs 2.Answer question only parts a, b, and c for #1 on your slate. 3. Teacher will have one pair volunteer to share their answer with the group.
19
(a) 2 points: One point is earned for a correctly labeled graph with a downward- sloping AD curve, an upward-sloping SRAS curve, and the points PLE and YE on the vertical and horizontal axes. One point is earned for showing a vertical LRAS curve at YE. (b) 2 points: One point is earned for showing a rightward shift of the AD curve on the graph in part (a). One point is earned for stating that the unemployment rate would fall and explaining that this is because real output increases. (c) 2 points: One point is earned for stating that the short-run aggregate supply curve will shift to the left and showing PL2 correctly on the graph in part (a). One point is earned for explaining that the actual price level is higher than was expected or that wages and commodity prices adjust to the higher price level, causing the SRAS curve to shift to the left.
