Solution

The most likely immediate result in the AD-AS model would be B. Aggregate supply (AS) shifts to the right.

Here's why:

  1. A technological breakthrough increases productivity. This means firms can produce more output with the same amount of inputs.

  2. This increase in productivity effectively increases the supply of goods and services in the economy.

  3. In the context of the AD-AS model, this is represented by a rightward shift of the Aggregate Supply curve.

So, the correct answer is B. Aggregate supply (AS) shifts to the right.
