A) The inflationary gap puts upward pressure on factor prices and AS shifts upward.Simultaneously,the Bank of Canada validates the demand shock,thus shifting the AD curve further to the right.
B) The inflationary gap puts upward pressure on factor prices and AS shifts upward.Simultaneously,the Bank of Canada implements a contractionary monetary policy,shifting the AD curve to the left.
C) The inflationary gap causes an increase in the expectations of the future inflation.As a result,the AS curve shifts upward and the AD curve shifts to the right.

E) The economy's adjustment process causes the economy to move from E₁ to E₂.
