To understand, how the level of employment is determined, we have to study the consumption function and investment function. The theory of Business Cycles is also a part and parcel of the Theory of Income and Employment.<br><br><strong>2) Theory of General Price Level and Inflation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Macroeconomic analysis shows how the general price level is determined and further explains what causes fluctuations in it. The study of general price level is significant on account of the problems created by inflation and deflation.<br><br><strong>3) Theory of Growth and Development:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Macroeconomics consists of the theory of economic growth and development. It explains the causes of underdevelopment and poverty. It also suggests strategies for accelerating growth and development.<br><br><strong>4) Macro Theory of Distribution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Macro theory of distribution deals with the relative shares of rent, wages, interest and profit in the total national income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ii_Explain_any_four_features_of_monopoly\"><\/span><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\">(ii) Explain any four features of monopoly.<\/mark><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong> The term monopoly is derived from the Greek word \u2018Mono\u2019 which means single and \u2018poly\u2019 which means the seller. Monopoly is a market in which there is only one seller who controls the entire market supply for a product that has no close substitute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The following are the main features of the monopoly market:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1) Single seller:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a monopoly, there is no competition as there is only one single producer or seller of the product. But, the number of buyers is large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2) No close substitute:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are no close substitutes for the product of the monopolist. Therefore, the buyers have no choice. They have to either buy the product from the monopolist or go without it. The cross elasticity of demand for his product is either zero or negative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3) Barriers to entry:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entry of the rivals is restricted due to legal, natural, and technological barriers which do not allow the competitors to enter the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4) Complete control over the market supply:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The monopolist has a complete hold over the market. He is the sole producer or seller of the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5) Price maker: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A monopolist can fix the price of his own product as he controls the whole market supply. Monopolists is a price makers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6) Price discrimination: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A monopolist being a price maker, he can charge different prices to different consumers for the same product, on the basis of time, place etc. Thus, price discrimination is an important feature of a monopoly market. For example, students and senior citizens are provided railway tickets at concessional rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7) No distinction between firm and industry:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A monopolist is the sole seller and producer of the product. A monopoly firm itself is an industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"iii_Elaborate_any_four_features_of_utility\"><\/span><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\"><strong>iii) Elaborate any four features of utility.<\/strong><\/mark><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong> Utility is the capacity of a commodity to satisfy human wants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The following are the features of utility:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1) Relative concept:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Utility is related to time and place. It varies from time to time and place to place. For example, (i) woollen clothes have a greater utility in the winter. (ii) sand has greater utility at the construction site than at the seashore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2) Subjective concept:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a psychological concept. Utility differs from person to person. This is due to differences in taste, preferences, likes, dislikes, nature, habits, profession, etc. For example, a stethoscope has utility to a doctor but not to a layman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3) Ethically neutral concept:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The concept of utility has no ethical consideration. It is a morally colorless concept. The commodity should satisfy any want of a person without consideration of what is good or bad, desirable or undesirable. For example, a knife has the utility to cut fruits and vegetables as well as it can be used to harm someone. Both wants are of different nature but are satisfied by the same commodity. Thus, utility is ethically neutral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4) Utility differs from usefulness:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Utility is the capacity of a commodity to satisfy human wants, whereas usefulness indicates value in the use of the commodity. For example, milk has both utility as well as usefulness to a consumer, while liquor has utility only to an addict, but has no usefulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5) Utility differs from pleasure:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A commodity may possess utility but it may not give any pleasure to the consumer. For example, injection for a patient has utility because it cures the ailment but it hardly gives any enjoyment or pleasure to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"iv_Write_any_four_practical_difficulties_in_national_income_estimation\"><\/span><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\">(iv) Write any four practical difficulties in national income estimation.<\/mark><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong> In practice, a number of difficulties arise in the collection of statistical data required for the estimation of national income. Some of the practical difficulties are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1) Problem of double counting:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The greatest difficulty in calculating national income is of double counting. It arises from the failure to distinguish properly, between a final and an intermediate product. For example, flour used by a bakery is an intermediate product and that by a household is final product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2) Existence of non-monetized sector:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In India, especially in rural areas, there exists the non-monetized sector. Agriculture, still being in the nature of subsistence farming, a major part of production is partly exchanged for other goods and services. It is excluded while counting national income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3) Inadequate and unreliable data:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adequate and correct data on production and cost data relating to crops, fisheries, animal<br>husbandry, forestry, construction workers, small enterprises etc., are not available in a developing country. Besides this, data on unearned incomes, consumption and investment expenditure of rural and urban population are also not available. This does not reveal the actual size of national income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4) Depreciation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depreciation refers to wear and tear of capital assets, due to their use in the process of production. There are no uniform, common or accepted standard rates of depreciation applicable to the various capital assets. Thus, it is difficult to make correct deductions for depreciation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5) Capital gains or losses:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Capital gains or capital losses, which accrue to the property owners by an increase or decrease in the market value of their capital assets or changes in demand, are not included in the national income because these changes do not result from current economic activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\">(v) Explain the Ratio method of measuring price elasticity of demand.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1) Ratio or Percentage method:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ratio method is developed by Prof. Marshall. According to this method, the elasticity of demand is measured by dividing the percentage change in demand by the percentage change in price.

Explain various steps involved in the construction of index numbers.<\/mark><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong> An index number is a device to measure changes in an economic variable (or group of variables) over a period of time. Index numbers were originally developed to measure changes in the price level.<br><strong>Spiegel<\/strong>: \u201cAn index number is a statistical measure designed to show changes in a variable or a group of related variables with reference to time, geographical location, and other characteristics such as income, profession, etc.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Following steps are involved in the construction of index numbers :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1) <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Purpose of index number<\/span>: <br><\/strong>The purpose for constructing the index number, its scope as well as which variable is intended to be measured should be clearly decided to achieve fruitful results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2) <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Selection of the base year<\/span>: <br><\/strong>The base year is also called the reference year. It is the year against which comparisons are made. The base year should be normal i.e. it should be free from natural calamities. It should not be too distant in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3) <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Selection of items<\/span>: <br><\/strong>It is necessary to select a sample of the number of items to be included in the construction of a particular index<br>number. For example, in the construction of price index numbers, it is impossible to include each and every commodity. The commodities to be selected should represent the tastes, habits and customs of the people. Besides this, only standardized or graded items should be included to give better results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4) <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Selection of price quotations<\/strong><\/span>: <br><\/strong>Prices of the selected commodities may vary from place to place and shop to shop in the same market. Therefore, it is desirable that price quotations should be obtained from an unbiased price reporting agency. To achieve accuracy, a proper selection of representative places and persons is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5) <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Choice of a suitable average<\/span>:<br><\/strong>The construction of index numbers requires a choice of a suitable average. Generally, the Arithmetic mean is used in the construction of index numbers because it is simple to compute compared to other averages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6) <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Assigning proper weights<\/span>: <br><\/strong>Weight refers to the relative importance of the different items in the construction of an index number. Weights are of two types i.e. quantity weights (q) and value weights (p x q). Since all items are not of equal importance, by assigning specific weights, better results can be achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7) <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Selection of an appropriate formula<\/span>: <br><\/strong>Various formulae are devised for the construction of index numbers. The choice of a suitable formula depends upon the purpose of index number and availability of data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"iii_Explain_various_sources_of_public_revenue\"><\/span><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\">(iii) Explain various sources of public revenue.<\/mark><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong>&nbsp;Public revenue means the aggregate collection of income with the government through various sources. Public revenue holds a permanent position in the study of public<br>finance which is part of a study of economics. Thus, the necessity of public revenue arises due to public expenditure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main sources of public revenue are as follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sources of Public Revenue :<br>A) Taxes <br>B) Non-tax Revenue<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A) Taxes:<\/strong> A tax is a compulsory contribution from the person to the government without reference to special benefits conferred<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Types of Taxes:<br><\/strong>There are two main types of taxes. They are :<br>1) Direct Tax and 2) Indirect Tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1) <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Direct Tax<\/span><\/strong>:<br>It is paid by the taxpayer on his income and property. The burden of tax is borne by the person on whom it is levied. As he cannot transfer the burden of the tax to others, impact and incidence of direct tax falls on the same person. For example\u0002personal income tax, wealth tax etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2) <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Indirect Tax<\/span>:<\/strong><br>It is levied on goods or services. It is paid at the time of production or sale and purchase of a commodity or a service. The burden of an indirect tax can be shifted by the taxpayer (producers) to another person. Hence, the impact and incidence of tax are on different heads. For example, the newly implemented Goods and Services Tax [GST] in India has replaced almost all indirect taxes and custom duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>B) Non-Tax revenue sources:<\/strong> Public revenue received by the government administration, public enterprises, gifts, and grants, etc. are called as non-tax revenue. These sources are different than the taxes. Brief information about these sources are as follows<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1) <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Fees<\/span>:<br><\/strong>A tax is paid compulsorily without any return service whereas, a fees is paid in return for certain specific services rendered by the government. For example- education fees, registration fees, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2) <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Prices of public goods and services<\/span>:<br><\/strong>Modern governments sell various types of commodities and services to the citizens. A price is a payment made by the citizens to the government for the goods and services sold to them. For example- railway fares, postal charges, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3) <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Special Assessment<\/span>: <br><\/strong>The payment made by the citizens of a particular locality in exchange for certain special facilities given to them by the authorities is known as \u2018special assessment.\u2019 For example- local bodies can levy a special tax on the residents of a particular area where extra\/ special facilities of roads, energy, water supply etc. are provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4) <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Fines and Penalties<\/span>: <br><\/strong>The government imposes fines and penalties on those who violate the laws of the country. The objective of the imposition of fines and penalties is not to earn income, but to discourage the citizens from violating the laws framed by the Government. For example, fines for violating traffic rules. However, the income from this source is small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5) <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Gifts, Grants, and Donations<\/span>:<br><\/strong>The government may also earn some income in the form of gifts by the citizens and others. The government may also receive grants from foreign governments and institutions for general and specific purposes. Foreign aid has become an important source of development finance for a developing country like India. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6) <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Special levies<\/span>:<br><\/strong>This is levied on those commodities, the consumption of which is harmful to the health and well-being of the citizens. Like fines and penalties, the objective is not to earn income, but to discourage the consumption of harmful commodities by the citizens. For example- duties levied on wine, opium, and other intoxicants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7) <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Borrowings<\/span>: <br><\/strong>The government can borrow from the people in the form of deposits, bonds, etc. It also gets loans from foreign governments and organizations such as IMF, World Bank, etc. Loans are becoming a more and more popular source of revenue for governments in modern times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/scholarsclasses.com\/blog\/12th-commerce-notes\/\" data-type=\"URL\"
