Question: 8

When aggregate supply exceeds aggregate demand
  • unemployment falls
  • prices rise
  • inventories accumulate
  • unemployment develops

  Show/Hide Explanation 

Correct Answer: C

None
Sol. Deflation sets in when aggregate supply exceeds aggregate demand. Recession sets in. This will lead to a buildup in stocks (inventories) and this sends a signal to producers either to cut prices (to stimulate an increase in demand) or to reduce output so as to reduce the buildup of excess stocks.
