@Marshmallow,
This is an AP economics question. (Yes) It can be answered for the exam.
As the price level rises, the cost of borrowing money will (Rise), causing the quantity of output demanded to (Decline). This phenomenon is known as the (Interest Rate) effect.
*As prices rise banks will increase the rates of interest on loans.
*As the price level, PL increases people buy less, output demanded decreases
*Interest Rate Effect = reason the AD curve slopes down
*Interest Rate Effect - ↑PL ↑Dm ↑Ir→ ↓I & ↓C
Additionally, as the price level rises "think inflation" rises, the impact on the domestic interest rate will cause the real value of the dollar to (Decline) in the foreign exchange market (FOREX)
* As the PL rises our domestic goods are now more expensive, therefore exports decline, meaning that there is less demand in the FOREX for out currency.
Less demand means a weaker (less value) for our currency.
The number of domestic products purchased by foreigners "exports" will therefore, (Decline), and the number of foreign products purchased by domestic consumers & firms "imports" will (Rise).
*If the PL is increasing then the price of our goods are increasing, and less of our goods (Exports) will be purchased as they are now relatively more expensive.
*If domestic goods are relatively more expensive than foreign goods we can expect consumers to buy cheaper foreign goods, imports increase.
Net Exports will therefore (Fall), causing the quantity of domestic output to (Decline). This phenomenon is known as the (Exchange Rate) effect.
* Net Exports = Exports - Imports,, If imports increase net exports will fall
*AD = C + I + G + Xn,, so if Xn decreases, AD will decrease, output decreases
*Exchange Rate Effect = Reason the AD curve slopes down
*Exchange Rate Effect - ↑PL → ↓exports (seem more expensive) & ↑imports (seem cheaper) → ↓Xn
