Answer to Question 1

An increase in autonomous expenditure increases aggregate planned expenditure. At the moment the economy turns the corner into expansion, aggregate planned expenditure exceeds real GDP. Firms' inventories become less than their target levels, so firms increase production in order to build up their inventories. The reverse happens when a recession begins.
