E)110; 1300

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A positive aggregate supply shock causes the short-run aggregate supply curve to shift to the right. This results in a decrease in the price level and an increase in real GDP. In this case, the new short-run equilibrium occurs at point C, where the price level is 90 and real GDP is 1200. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
