Kh.Asif... would it be because the dollar appreciates, and the interest rate goes up and hence the investment would decrease?

Increase in price level is basically increase in inflation , if that's so
increase in inflation
decreases consumption
increases interest rate so investment decreases
and since things are costly at home so people will sell things at home and buy from outside, net imports will increase and exports will decreases.

but how come AD is increasing , looks like AS is decreasing that's why price level is going up.

Kh.asif, i think you're right. After thinking about it i think it's just the order of the events. Because that's the only explanation..... thanks a lot for your insight.

welcome mate. I have a second major in economics in my undergrad, but I can bet that I would have made the same mistake you did if this came in the exam. One of the toughest econ question I saw for level 1 (I appeared this june).
