U.S. business inventories increase
Business inventories in the United States rose 0.4% in July after no change in the prior month. An increase in inventories adds to gross domestic product while a decrease subtracts from it.
Source: U.S. Department of Commerce, September 13, 2019
Explain why an increase in inventories adds to gross domestic product but why it matters whether an increase in inventories is planned or unplanned.
A planned increase in inventories _______.
A.
decreases investment, which decreases equilibrium expenditure and real GDP
B.
increases investment, which increases equilibrium expenditure and real GDP
C.
shifts the AE curve
upward,
so firms decrease production and real GDP decreases to reach equilibrium expenditure
D.
shifts the AE curve
downward,
so firms decrease production and real GDP decreases

5. Briefly explain whether you agree or disagree with the following statement: "Real GDP
is currently $17.2 trillion, and potential GDP is $17.4 trillion. If the president would like
to increase the government purchases by $200 billion or cut taxes by $200 billion, the
economy could be brought to equilibrium at potential GDP."
6. In 2012, an executive at Honda Motor Company announced that the firm would be
moving more of its car production from Japan to the United States. A newspaper article
stated: "The move, driven by the strength of the Japanese yen, will also result in Honda
significantly reduce the number of vehicles it imports into North America from plants in
Japan."
a. What does the article mean by the strength of the Japanese yen?
b.
Why would a strong yen case Honda to produce more cars in the United States and
fewer cars in Japan?

Components of aggregate expenditure are autonomous expenditure, planned private investments, government expenditure, and net exports. When autonomous expenditure increases or decreases, it has a multiplied effect on the GDP. Referring to the 10-year historical period that you chose for your final project, discuss an example of a change in autonomous spending. Research a government policy implemented during that time and discuss the multiplier effect it had on the economy. I have choosen 1980-1989 in the US. **This is not a research paper - it's just a quick brief for a discussion board**arrow_forward
