Solution

The level of unplanned inventory investment can be calculated by subtracting the planned expenditure from the income.

Here are the steps:

  1. Identify the income, which is $3500.
  2. Identify the planned expenditure, which is $3000.
  3. Subtract the planned expenditure from the income.

So, 3500(income)3500 (income) - 3000 (planned expenditure) = $500.

Therefore, the level of unplanned inventory investment is $500. This indicates an unplanned inventory accumulation has occurred because the result is positive. If the result was negative, it would indicate an unplanned inventory depletion.
