Question

Supply-side policy is designed to a. Move the economy from a point inside the production possibilities curve to a point on the curve and shift the aggregate supply curve to the left. b. Move the economy from a point inside the production possibilities curve to a point on the curve and shift the aggregate supply curve to the right. c. Shift the production possibilities curve outward and shift the aggregate supply curve to the left. d. Shift the production possibilities curve outward and shift the long-run aggregate supply curve to the right.

Answer 1

Answer:

c. Shift the production possibilities curve outward and shift the aggregate supply curve to the left.

Explanation:

A supply-side economist can be defined as economists who believes that the ability and willingness of the producers of goods and services to manufacture or produce sets the pace for the economic growth of a country.

This ultimately implies that, increasing the supply of goods and services would cause an economic growth for a country.

Generally, supply-side economist are of the opinion that one of the best way to grow a country's economy is by introducing tax cuts so as to increase the incentive for households to work and invest.

In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply.

The law of supply states that the higher the price of goods and services, the lower the supply.

An aggregate supply curve gives the relationship between the aggregate price level for goods or services and the quantity of aggregate output supplied in an economy at a specific period of time.

Aggregate supply (AS) refers to the total quantity of output (goods and services) that firms are willing to produce and sell at a given price in an economy at a particular period of time.

The production possibilities curve (PPC) is also known as the production possibilities frontier (PPF) and its a curve which illustrates the maximum (best) combinations of two products that can be produce in an economy if they both depend on these factors;

1. Technology is fixed.

2. Resources are fixed.

Hence, a supply-side policy is designed to shift the production possibilities curve outward and shift the aggregate supply curve to the left.
