Other things constant, a lower price level will (1) increase the wealth
of people holding the fixed quantity of money, (2) lead to lower
interest rates, and (3) make domestically produced goods cheaper
relative to foreign goods.

The table shows the shift in the aggregate demand curve that results from an
increase in each of the variables.
A decrease in these variables would cause the aggregate demand curve to shift
in the opposite direction.

Expected Changes in the Future Price Level
If workers and firms expect the price level to increase by a certain percentage, the
SRAS curve will shift by an equivalent amount, holding constant all other
variables that affect the SRAS curve.
Adjustments of Workers and Firms to Errors in Past Expectations about the Price
Level
If workers and firms across the economy are adjusting to the price level being
higher than expected, the SRAS curve will shift to the left.
If they are adjusting to the price level being lower than expected, the SRAS curve
will shift to the right.

With time, resource prices, including labor, rise due to strong demand. Higher
costs reduce SRAS to SRAS2.
In LR, a new equilibrium at a higher price level P110 and output consistent with
long-run potential will occur. So in AD only temporarily expands Y.
