i).
A lower-than-target inflation means aggregate demand is low. The economy is in recession with a negative output gap.
In following graph, long-run equilibrium is at point A where initial aggregate demand (AD0) intersects initial short-run aggregate supply cruve (SRAS0) and long-run aggregate supply cruve (LRAS0), with long-run equilibrium price level P0 and real GDP (= potential GDP) Y0.
During recession, economy is at point B where aggregate demand is to the left of LARS at AD1, intersecting SRAS0 with lower price level P1 and lower real GDP Y1. Short-run Recessionary gap is (Y0 - Y1).
