What is unplanned investment? How does it occur?

What will be an ideal response?

Unplanned investment occurs when inventories grow larger than planned. The difference between the actual change in inventories and the planned change is unplanned investment. Unplanned investment occurs when aggregate planned expenditure is less than real GDP so firms sell less output than they had planned.
