Answer to Question 1

The aggregate supply-aggregate demand framework determines the equilibrium price level and equilibrium real GDP. The aggregate supply curve is positively sloped, indicating that an increase in the price level increases the aggregate quantity of goods and services supplied. The aggregate demand curve is negatively sloped, indicating that an increase in the price level decreases the aggregate quantity of goods and services demanded.
