Solution

In the simple two-sector Keynesian income-expenditure model with no government or external sector, assuming actual and planned saving are always equal, when aggregate output is less than aggregate planned expenditure, any unplanned change in inventories will be negative.

Explanation:

In the Keynesian model, when aggregate output (income) is less than aggregate planned expenditure, it means that consumers are spending more than what is being produced. This leads to a decrease in inventories as firms sell more goods than they produce to meet the higher demand. This decrease in inventories is an unplanned investment, hence any unplanned change in inventories will be negative.
