Aggregate supply and the AS curve

The AS curve is the aggregate supply as a function of P. It is horizontal when thesupply is low and upward sloping when the supply is high.

From the relationship between L and P we can derive the relationship between YS and P as YS is concluded by L by the production function (the higher L, the higher the).

Figure: The relationship between YS and P

Between points A and B prices are constant and firms produce an amount exactly equal to aggregate demand. Here reversed Say's Law and IS-LM model apply. In this interval, AS-AD model is redundant. Between points B and C we have a positive relation between P and YS. Neither reversed Say's Law nor IS-LM model apply. 

It is, though, unreasonable to believe that there would be a 'sharp edge' in the relationship between L and P and between YS and P in real economy. Schedules are drawn this way to simplify the explanation. A more reasonable assumption would be that relationships are smooth curves.
