Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

In the basic aggregate demand and aggregate supply model, expansionary fiscal policy is illustrated by a rightward shift of the aggregate demand curve, with the short-run aggregate supply curve and long-run aggregate supply curve remaining stationary. The dynamic aggregate demand and aggregate supply model takes into account the economy experiencing continuing inflation from year to year and the economy experiencing long-run growth. In the dynamic model, expansionary fiscal policy is illustrated by a rightward shift of the aggregate demand curve, a rightward shift of the short-run aggregate supply curve, and a rightward shift of the long-run aggregate supply curve.
