ECONOMIC PROBLEM: “An economic problem is basically the problem of choice” which arises due to
scarcity of resources having alternative uses and unlimited wants”.
PRODUCTION POSSIBILITY CURVE (PPC): PP curve shows all the possible combination of two goods that
can be produced with the help of available resources and technology.
MARGINAL OPPORTUNITY COST: It is the rate of sacrifice for one good for getting another
good .
Types of rate of sacrifice a. Increasing MOC b. Decreasing MOC c. Constant

KEY CONCEPTS
1. CONSUMER AND CONSUMPTION
Consumer: Who consumes goods and services
Consumption: Satisfying human wants
2. UTILITY: Wants satisfying capacity of commodity.
A) TOTAL UTILITY :- Utility derived from total units
B) MARGINAL UTILITY :- Utility derived from additional Unit
INDIFFERENCE CURVE ANALYSIS :- It shows different combinations of two goods which give
equal level of satisfaction to consumer.
6.MARGINAL RATE OF SUBSTITUTION:- It is the rate at which a consumer is willing to give up the
units of one good for extra unit of another good.
7. DEMINISHING MARGINAL RATE OF SUBSTITUTION: - The rate of sacrifice diminishes of good
one for another good .
8. INDIFFERENCE MAP:- Collection of indifference curves that gives different levels of satisfaction to the
consumer.
9. PROPERTIES OF IC :-
1. It slopes downwards from left to right
2. It is always convex to the origin due to falling of Marginal Rate of Substitution
(MRS)
3.Higher IC always gives higher satisfaction
4.Two IC never intersect each other.
10. DEMAND :- Quantity of the commodity that a consumer is able and willing to purchase in a given
period and at a given price.

Unit-3
PRODUCER BEHAVIOUR AND SUPPLY
Production Function: It is the functional relationship between inputs and output in a given state of
technology. Q= f(L,K)
Short period /run : is that period where supply / output can be altered / changed by changing only variable
factors of production. In other words fixed factors of production remain fixed.
Long period : is that period where all factors of production are changed to bring about changes in output /
supply. No factor is fixed.
Concepts of product:
Total Product- Total quantity of goods produced by a firm / industry during a given period of time with
given number of inputs.
Marginal product (MP): refers to addition to the total product, when one more unit of variable factor is
employed.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE refers to all currencies other than the domestic currency of a given country.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATE is the rate at which currency of one country can be exchanged for currency
of another country.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKET: The Foreign Exchange market is the market where the national
currencies are traded for one another.
FIXED EXCHANGE RATE SYSTEM: Fixed exchange rate is the rate which is officially fixed by the
government, monetary authority and not determined by market forces.
FLEXIBLE EXCHANGE RATE: Flexible exchange rate is the rate which is determined by forces of
supply and demand in the foreign exchange market.
DEMAND FOR AND SUPPLY OF FOR FOREIGN EXCHANGE
Foreign currencies flow into the domestic economy due to the following reason.
1. When foreigners purchase home countries goods and services through exports
2. When foreigners invest in bonds and equity shares of the home country.
3. Foreign currencies flow into the economy due to currency dealers and speculators.
4. When foreign tourists come to India
5. When Indian workers working abroad send their saving to families in India.
EQUILIBRIUM IN THE FOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKET
The equilibrium exchange rate is determined at a point where demand for and supply of foreign exchange
are equal. Graphically interaction of demand and supply curve determines the equilibrium exchange rate of
foreign currency.
MANAGED FLOATING: This is the combination of fixed and flexible exchange rate. Under this, country
manipulates the exchange rate to adjust the deficit in the B.O.P by following certain guidelines issued by
I.M.F.
DIRTY FLOATING: If the countries manipulate the exchange rate without following the guidelines issued
by the I.M.F is called as dirty floating.

12. Calculate ‘Sales’ from the following data:
Items (Rs. In lakh)
(i) Net value added at factor cost 300
(ii) Intermediate consumption 200
(iii) Indirect Tax 20
(iv) Depreciation 30
(v) Change in Stocks (-) 50
=600 lakh
Sol:-
Income Method
GNPfc=Factor income from abroad +compensation of employees-factor income to abroad+consumption
of fixed capital+interest+rent+profit
=10+50+ 220-15+15+20-25-30-30+10+85
=340 crore
Expenditure Method
GNPfc=Factor income from abroad +net domestic capital information +private final consumption
expenditure-factor income to abroad+consumption of fixed capital+exports – imports – indirect
taxes+subsidies+government final consumption expenditure
=10+50+220-15+15+20-25-30+10+85
=340 Crore
14. Calculate Gross National Disposable Income and Personal Income from the following data:
Items (Rs. In crore)
i)Personal Tax 120
ii)Net direct tax 100
iii)Corporation tax 90
iv)National Income 1000
v)Net factor income from abroad 5
vi)Consumption of fixed capital 50
vii)National debt interest 70
viii) Retained earnings of private corporate sector 40
ix)Net current transfers to the rest of the world (-)20
x)Current transfers from government 30
xi)Share of government in national income 80
Sol:- Gross National Disposable Income= National income+ consumption of fixed capital+ net direct tax-net
current transfers to the rest of the world
=1,000 cr+50 cr+100 cr-(-20 cr)
=1,170 cr.
Private income
= National income-share of govt in national income+national debt interest+ current transfers
from govt- net current transfers to the rest of the world
=1000 cr-80 cr+70 cr+30 cr-(-20 cr)
=1,120cr-80 cr
=1,040 cr
Personal Income
=Private income-corporation tax-retained earnings of private corporate sector
= Rs 1,040 cr-90 cr-40 cr
=910 cr.
15. Will the following be a part of domestic factor income of India? Give reasons for your answer.
i)Old age pension given by the government
ii)Factor income from abroad
iii)Slaries to India residents working in Russian Embassy in India.
iv)Profits earned by a company in India, which is owned by a non-resident.
Sol:-
i)Old age Pension given by the government: It is not a part of domestic factor income of India because it is a
transfer payment.
ii) Factor Income from abroad: It is not a part of domestic factor income of India because it is not generated
within the domestic territory of India.
iii) Salaries to Indian residents working in Russian Embassy in India:-It is not a part of domestic factor
income of India because the Russian embassy in India is not a part of domestic territory of India.
iv)Profits earned by a company in India which is owned by a non- resident:- It is a part of domestic factor
income in India because the company is within the domestic territory of India.
16. Income generated in the economy is twice the increase in autonomous investment. Find the values of MPC
& MPS
Sol :-
We know that,
Multiplier(k)= ΔY/ΔI
Let the increase in investment = 100
So, Increase in income=2 X 100 =Rs. 200
K= 200/100=2
K= 1/ (1-MPC)=1/MPS
MPS=1/k
MPS=1/2=0.5
Or,
MPC+MPS=1
MPC =1-MPS
=1-0.5
17. Find saving function when consumption function is given as: C= 500+0.5Y
Sol:- S= -S’ +sY
Where, -S’= Savings when Y=0
And s (= MPS)=1-MPC
So,
S=-500 + (1-0.5)Y
S=-500+0.5Y
