An unplanned increase in inventories​ _______. A. occurs when real GDP exceeds aggregate planned​ expenditure, so firms decrease production and real GDP decreases B. occurs when real GDP exceeds aggregate planned​ expenditure, so firms increase production and real GDP increases C. occurs when aggregate planned expenditure exceeds real​ GDP, so firms increase production and real GDP increases D. occurs when aggregate planned expenditure exceeds real​ GDP, so firms decrease production and real GDP decreases E. increases​ investment, which increases equilibrium expenditure and real GDP

Answer 1

Answer: C. occurs when aggregate planned expenditure exceeds real​ GDP, so firms increase production and real GDP increases

Step-by-step explanation:

When the Aggregate expenditure which is also known as Aggregate demand, exceeds the real GDP, it means that there is more demand for goods in the economy than the economy has currently produced.

Producers would therefore increase their production level in order to meet up with the new demand and return to a level of inventory that they are comfortable with. This increased production was not planned so any inventory it yields is unplanned as well.
