When potential real GDP is equal to​ 70, this economy is in recession . The amount of the shortfall in planned aggregate expenditure is equal to A. the amount of actual real GDP. B. the amount of potential real GDP. C. the horizontal distance between potential real GDP and actual real GDP. D. the vertical distance between AE and the 45degrees line at the level of potential real GDP.

Respuesta :

Answer: Option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

If the potential GDP is 70 and economy is in recession. Potential GDP is the GDP of an economy which can be achieved with the best utilization of economy's resources.

The amount of the shortfall in planned aggregate expenditure is equal to the vertical distance between the 45 degree line and the AE = Y, at a level of potential real GDP.
