Thanks, I'll read it like 2moro or something.Sarah168 said:Actual & Planned Expenditure and Real GDP
Actual aggregate expenditure is always equal to real GDP. Planned and actual aggregate expenditures or real GDP, however, can diverge. How? It is assumed that C, G, X & M planned expenditures will be fulfilled. That leaves I as the component that can vary between planned and actual. This is due to one facet of I, inventories. When aggregate planned expenditure is less than actual, inventories increase; if planned is greater than actual, inventories shrink below the level firms wish to maintain them (inventory targets).
Whatever the hell that means
