Explanation / Answer

The short-run economic outcome resulting from an increase in production cost is known as stagflation as price level rise and output fall simultaneously as aggregate supply shifts leftwards.

When government does nothing in response to the short-term fluctuation in the aggregate supply, then in the long run as initially expected price was equal to actual price hence price and output at equilibrium will be at $110 which is a lower equilibrium than initial point as when price of goods and services rise consumption demand would fall automatically and demand curve would also shift towards left hence price falls.
