Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

The Keynesian range is the horizontal range of the AS curve. The intermediate range is the upward sloping portion. The Classical range is the vertical potion of the AS curve. Changes in aggregate demand will have differing effects on real GDP and the price level depending on which range we are in along the AS curve. Anything which increases costs of production will shift the AS curve leftward. A leftward shift of the AS curve would create stagflation.
