    Okay this is entirely a trick question I believe. When firms are selling out of inventory, investment expenditure will definitely get reduced because of the negative change in stocks. But on the other hand, the product they're selling is being bought by customers and this raises consumption expenditure. So ultimately GDP shouldn't be affected at all. But am not 100% sure. I'll get back about this question in a day or two.
