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.

Net-Export Effect
|
|
|
An increase in the price level decreases exports and increases imports, which gives us a decrease in net exports.- If the price level increases in one country, the production of other countries becomes relatively cheaper.
For example:- An increase in the U.S. price level discourages foreign buyers from buying U.S. goods, and encourages U.S. buyers to buy relatively cheaper foreign goods.
The net-export effect is that a change in the price level, changes the relative prices of exports and imports, and changes net exports in the opposite way.

SAVING SCHEDULE A table or chart that represents the relation between saving by the household sector and income. A saving schedule is commonly used for a basic, instructional presentation of aggregate saving activity by the household sector and is also used as a source of numbers for deriving the saving line. The key measures derived from the saving-income relation in the schedule are average propensity to save and marginal propensity to save. The consumption schedule is comparable, and more important, table for the relation between consumption and income.
