    Answer: C. real GDP = $6.0 trillion and aggregate planned expenditures = $4.0 trillion

    Explanation:

    Unplanned Inventory arises when Real GDP is larger than Planned Expenditure because it must satisfy the below formula,

    Real GDP = Planned + Unplanned expenditure

    For Option C,

    Real GDP = 6.0 trillion,

    Planned expenditure = 4.0 trillion

    Unplanned Expenditure = Real GDP - Planned Expenditure

    = $6.0 trillion - $4.0 trillion

    = $2.0 trillion

    Therefore Option C is correct as it led to a $2.0 trillion increase in Expenditure which translates to inventory.
