52) When aggregate planned expenditure exceeds real GDP,

A) firms increase production and real GDP increases.

B) firms decrease production and real GDP increases.

C) firms decrease production and real GDP decreases.

D) firms increase production and real GDP decreases.

E) firms do nothing because induced expenditure will increase so that the equilibrium is reached.

53) If aggregate planned expenditures exceed real GDP, then

A) inventories increase above their planned levels and businesses decrease their production.

B) inventories decrease below their planned levels and businesses increase their production.

C) there is no equilibrium level of real GDP.

D) inventories decrease below their planned levels and businesses decrease their production.

55) If the level of real GDP is $14 trillion while aggregate planned expenditure is $15 trillion, then

A) aggregate planned expenditure decreases to reach the equilibrium of $14 trillion.

B) inventories rise more than planned, leading firms to cut production.

C) inventories fall more than planned, leading firms to increase production.

D) real GDP increases and planned expenditure decreases reaching equilibrium in the middle.

E) inventories rise more than planned, leading firms to increase production.

56) Which of the following situations lead firms to increase production?
