<span>An increase in investment shifts the AE curve upward by an amount equal to the change in investment, and shifts the AD curve rightward by an amount equal to the change in the investment by the multiplier.
The AE curve stands for the aggregate expenditure which measures expenditures on consumption. The AD curve stands for the aggregate demand curve which measures the demand levels when prices change for a good or service in an economy.

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>
The budgeted cost of the direct labor for the month is calcuated as follows:
the given data:
Budgeted production is = 8000 units, time required of direct labor work in order to complete the production is = 40 minutes, the direct labor rate as given in the question is = $100 per hour.
Budgeted cost = time multply with rate of labor multiply with budgeted production
(40/60 multiply with 100) multiply with 8000 = 533,333.33
therefore, the budgeted cost = $533333.33 ( rounded of to 2 places).
