At point V, the intersection of the aggregate demand (AD) and short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curves, the economy is producing at its potential output level (intersection of SRAS and long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) curves) and the price level is stable at 100. There is no recessionary or inflationary gap present at point V. The natural rate of unemployment cannot be determined from the given information.
