You said that "this may result in a steeper AS curve due to the fact that firms can produce more output for a given price level.". However, I think that steeper AS without the change of y-intercept(shift) will have opposite effect. I drew a diagram to compare different As curves with same y intercept and different slopes. It is clear that for same level; of price level, steeper AS has loer output (Y2) than faltter AS (Y1), could u please explain it for me? Thanks a lot :)

- . Suppose that a car dealership wishes to see if efficiency wages will help improve its salespeople’s productivity. Currently, each salesperson sells an average of one car per day while being paid $20 per hour for an eight-hour day. LO17.8 What is the current labor cost per car sold? Suppose that when the dealer raises the price of labor to $30 per hour the average number of cars sold by a salesperson increases to two per day. What is now the labor cost per car sold? By how much is it higher or lower than it was before? Has the efficiency of labor expenditures by the firm (cars sold per dollar of wages paid to salespeople) increased or decreased? Suppose that if the wage is raised a second time to $40 per hour the number of cars sold rises to an average of 2.5 per day. What is now the labor cost per car sold?
