Suppose the full employment level of real output (Q) for a hypothetical economy is $500, the price level (P) initially is 100, and prices and wages are flexible both upward and downward. Refer to the accompanying short-run aggregate supply schedules. If the price level unexpectedly declines from 100 to 75, the level of real output, in the long run, will
a. rise from $500 to $560.
b. fall from $500 to $440.
c. fall from $560 to $500.
d. return to $500.
