Correct answer: C. horizontal until it reaches full capacity and then becomes vertical

  • A. downward sloping over all levels of output
  • B. upward sloping over all levels of output
  • C. horizontal until it reaches full capacity and then becomes vertical
  • D. vertical until it reaches full capacity and then becomes horizontal

Explanation

In the simple Keynesian model, spare capacity allows firms to increase output at a roughly fixed price, so aggregate supply is horizontal until full employment. Once capacity is reached, further demand mainly raises prices, giving a vertical segment.
