Which point on the price axis is the NEW price level after the LRAS shift?
The diagram
The answer
Point B. Read across from F: the price level falls from P₁ (A) to P₂ (B). Growth AND lower inflation together. Read across from the new equilibrium F to the price axis: point B, the lower price level P₂. With more capacity available, firms compete less aggressively for the same fixed pool of labour and capital, so wage and input-price growth slows and the price level falls.
