At the $380 billion level of GDP, saving is $24 billion; planned investment will be $16 billion (from the question). This deficiency of $8 billion of planned investment causes an unplanned $8 billion rise in inventories.  Actual investment is $24 billion (= $16 billion of planned investment as well as $8 billion of unplanned inventory investment), matching the $24 billion of actual saving.

    At the $300 billion level of GDP, saving is $8 billion; planned investment wills $16 billion (from the question). This excess of $8 billion of planned investment causes an unplanned $8 billion decline in inventories. Actual investment is $8 billion (= $16 billion of planned investment minus $8 billion of unplanned inventory disinvestment) matching the actual of $8 billion.
