Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

At the current level of real GDP, aggregate spending (C + I + G + NX) is less than aggregate supply. The amount of goods and services produced is greater than the amount people intend to buy. Inventories rise above the levels firms desire to hold. These unintended inventory increases are a signal to firms to reduce production. Production will continue to fall until the amount firms produce just equals aggregate expenditures.
