Calculation for Macroeconomic Equilibrium



Price level (GDP deflator, 2005 = 100)
Quantity of real GDP  demanded (trillions of 2005 dollars)
Quantity of real GDP supplied (trillions of 2005 dollars)
115
8.8
12.0
110
9.4
11.0
105
10.0
10.0
100
10.6
9.0
95
11.2
8.0
90
11.8
7.0


1) Based on the table above,
a)   What is the equilibrium price level and real GDP?
b)   If potential GDP is $11.0 trillion, what does that imply about the economy's level of employment?
c)   If potential GDP is $9.0 trillion, what does that imply about the economy's level of employment?
