Question 17

In an economy producing close to its capacity, demand rises quickly. Real GDP, household money incomes and tax revenue increase, alongside rapid price rises. Which assessment is best?

[1]
A

Households can buy less extra than the rise in their money incomes suggests, because prices are also rising

B

The growth will last, because rapid growth in demand adds to the economy's capacity to produce more in future

C

Prices will soon stop rising, because firms close to capacity can quickly expand output to meet the extra demand

D

The rise in real GDP comes only from higher prices, so the economy is not producing any extra output
