OR

An alternative approach, which may be rewarded, is to use a business cycle diagram that shows the potential output curve becoming flatter.

Candidates who incorrectly label diagrams can be awarded with a maximum of [3]. For AD/AS, the vertical axis may be Average (General) Price Level, APL or Price level. The horizontal axis may be real output, real national output, real income, real national income, real GDP or real Y. A title is not necessary.

For a PPC diagram, there must be two goods or groups of goods competing for the same resources on the axes. Good X and Good Y are appropriate, but simply X and Y are not sufficient. A title is not necessary.
