Within the aggregate demand and supply model (AD-AS model), how does an economy adjust to an output beyond its long-run capacity as a result of an unanticipated increase in aggregate demand?
Group of answer choices
Wage rates and resource prices will fall, causing a decrease in aggregate demand and the restoration of equilibrium at a higher price level.
Long-run aggregate supply will increase, leading to a new equilibrium at a lower price level.
Resource prices and real interest rates will rise causing output to fall back to its long-run sustainable rate.
Lower real interest rates will stimulate demand and restore equilibrium at the initial price level.
