Figure 11.11 Alt text for Figure 11.11: In figure 11.11, a graph comparing real GDP and price level.
Long description for Figure 11.11: The x-axis is labelled, real GDP (trillions of 2007 dollars)and the y-axis is labelled, price level (CPI, 2002 = 100).4 lines are shown; AD1, AD2, LRAS, SRAS.Line AD1 begins in the top left corner and slopes down to the end of the x-axis.Line AD2 follows the same slope but is plotted to the right.Line SRAS begins in the bottom left corner and slopes up to the top right corner.Line LRAS is perpendicular to the x-axis, and intersects lines AD2 and SRAS at point B.Lines AD1 and SRAS intersect at point A.
-Refer to Figure 11.11.In the figure above, suppose the economy is initially at point A.The movement of the economy to point B as shown in the graph illustrates the effect of which of the following policy actions by the Bank of Canada?

An open market purchase of Canada bonds by the Bank of Canada increases the money supply, which can shift the money supply curve to the right, moving the economy from point A to point B on the graph. This action lowers interest rates, stimulating economic activity.
