a). Deflationary gap. The real GDP is below full employment

this is due to fall in aggregate demand due to fall in aggregate investment


ii] Economic growth is well below the average trend rate of growth i.e. aggregate demand is increasing at a slower rate than productive capacity

iii] "Rm \\ 1350-1000=Rm\\ 350\\ million"


b) Inflationary gap . The real GDP is above full employment.

ii] An increase in government expenditure or increase in private investments


iii]"Rm\\ 1000-850=Rm 150 \\ million."
