Solution

The correct answer is b. This will shift the aggregate demand curve to the left.

Here's why:

When the Australian dollar increases in value relative to other currencies, it means that Australian goods and services become more expensive for foreign buyers. This leads to a decrease in exports, which is a component of aggregate demand.

At the same time, a stronger Australian dollar makes foreign goods and services cheaper for Australians, which can lead to an increase in imports.

Both of these effects - decreased exports and increased imports - reduce net exports, which is a component of aggregate demand. Therefore, an increase in the value of the Australian dollar, all else being equal, will shift the aggregate demand curve to the left.
