Solution

The likely effect of a wide-reaching increase in wages paid to workers on the AD-AS model would be that the short-run aggregate supply decreases. This is because when wages increase, the cost of production for businesses also increases. As a result, businesses may cut back on production, leading to a decrease in the short-run aggregate supply. Therefore, the correct answer is "Short-run aggregate supply decreases and aggregate supply increases".
