Because if a price level is higher for a good, aggregate spending will decrease as the level of the price increases. And vice versa - the cheaper a good is, OR the MORE that your money will buy, the more likely you are to spend that money.

Can anyone helps to explain the links between changes in the nations money supply the interest rate investment spending aggregate demand and real GDP and the price level?

An increase in the nation's money supply lowers interest rates, thus decreases the cost of doing business. With a higher return on investment, investment spending increases and so too does aggregate supply. As aggregate supply increases, aggregate demand increases and so prices go up. Thus real GDP and APL increase.


What will happen to the equilibrium price level and the real GDP if the aggregate demand decreases and aggregate supply decreases?

The equilibrium price level increases, but the real GDP change depends on how much aggregate demand and aggregate supply change by.

Explain movements along the aggregate demand curve and shifts of the aggregate demand curve?

Movements along the aggregate demand curve are caused by changes in price level - real wealth effect, interest rate effect and open economy effect. If some non-price level determinant causes total spending to increase/decrease then the curve will shift to the right/left - consumption, investment, government expenditure, net exports.


Why does aggregate demand go up when money supply increases?

It doesn't. Money supply has no effect on aggregate demand. Aggregate demand is only effected by the buying power of money, real interest rate, and the real prices of exports and imports. If the supply of money goes up it only causes a short term decrease in the nominal interest rate. The price level is not accompanied by a decrease in the supply of money so the real interest rate does not rise.

Why do decibels decrease when sound level increases?

Decibels are a logarithmic unit used to measure sound intensity. As sound level increases, the decibel scale also increases to reflect the higher intensity. So, decibels do not decrease when sound level increases; they actually increase to show louder sounds.
