The "planned" value of the variables like consumption, investment, output, etc, is known as:

ex post measures

ex ante measures

ex pre measures

none of the above

Explanation:

Here’s how it actually shakes out:

- Ex post measures (Option 1): These refer to what *actually* happened. They’re the *realized* or recorded values—what we see after events have played out.

- Ex ante measures (Option 2): These deal with *planned*, *expected*, or *intended* values. In economics, when we say planned consumption, planned investment, or planned output, we’re talking about ex ante figures.

- Ex pre measures (Option 3): Not a standard term in this context. It’s generally not used in economic analysis.

- None of the above (Option 4): Not correct, because one of the options (ex ante) actually fits.

So, the right pick is:

Option 2: ex ante measures

In short, when economists mention “planned” anything—output, investment, consumption—they mean ex ante. Ex post is after the fact; ex ante is the plan.
