A Level Economics (9708)•9708/11/M/J/25

Explanation
Expansionary Monetary Policy Effects Steps:
- Expansionary monetary policy increases money supply, lowering interest rates.
- Lower rates boost investment and consumption, shifting AD curve right.
- This raises real GDP and price level in the short run.
- Higher output reduces unemployment via Okun's law.
Why A is correct:
- Matches AD increase: real GDP rises from higher spending, prices rise from demand pressure, unemployment falls as firms hire more (Okun's law links GDP growth to ~2% drop in unemployment per 1% GDP rise).
Why the others are wrong:
- B: Unemployment rises contradicts policy's stimulative effect on labor demand.
- C: Price level falls and unemployment rises ignore inflationary and employment-boosting impacts.
- D: Identical to C, so same errors.
Final answer: A
