ACTUAL INVESTMENT: Investment expenditures that the business sector actual undertakes during a given time period, including both planned investment and any unplanned inventory changes. This is a critical component of Keynesian economics and the analysis of macroeconomic equilibrium, which occurs when actual investment is equal to planned investment. The difference between planned and actual investment is unplanned investment, which is inventory changes caused by a difference between aggregate expenditures and aggregate output. Should actual and planned investment differ, then aggregate expenditures are not equal to aggregate output, and the macroeconomy is not in equilibrium.

Lesson 6: Supply | Unit 2: Law of Supply
|
Page: 5 of 19
|
|
The law of supply is the basic principle underlying supply. A definition: The law of supply is a direct relationship between supply price and the quantity supplied, ceteris paribus. - Direct relationship means that people sell more of a good if the price is higher and less if the price is lower.
- The law of supply is not as rigid as the law of demand. The price and the quantity supplied are not always directly related. Higher prices could cause an increase or a decrease in the quantity supplied.
Ceteris paribus is also important to the law of supply.- Ceteris paribus means other things remain unchanged.
- Law of supply applies exclusively to the relationship between supply price and quantity supplied.
- All other things that can affect supply must remain constant to avoid distorting this relationship.
- Because supply is affected by many factors other than price, the price/quantity supply relationship can get lost when other things change.
- Other factors that affect supply are called supply determinants.

CAPITAL CONSUMPTION ADJUSTMENT The official item in the National Income and Product Accounts maintained by the Bureau of Economics Analysis that measures the macroeconomy's capital depreciation during a given time period, usually one year. The capital consumption adjustment (CCA), which is also commonly termed the capital consumption allowance (also conveniently abbreviated CCA), is subtracted from gross domestic product (GDP) to calculate net domestic product (NDP). The CCA is also subtracted from gross private domestic investment to calculate net private domestic investment.
