When the inflation is very moderate, it acts as an incentive to traders and producers. The profit due to rising prices encourages and induces business class to increase their investments in production, leading to generation of employment and income.
(i) However, hyper-inflation results in a serious depreciation of the value of money and it discourages savings.
(ii) When the value of money undergoes considerable depreciation, this may even drain out the foreign capital.
(iii) With reduced capital accumulation, the investment will suffer a serious set-back which may have an adverse effect on the volume of production.
101.
| S.No | Fictional unemployment | Structural unemployment |
| 1 | Frictional unemployment arises due to imbalance between supply of labour and demand for labour | Structural unemployment is due to drastic change in the structure of the society |
| 2. | This is because of immobility of labour, lack of necessary skills, break down of machinery, shortage of raw materials etc. | Lack of demand for the product or shift in demand to other products cause this type of unemployment |
| 3. | The persons who lose jobs and in search of jobs are also included under frictional unemployment | This kind of unemployment results from massive and deep rooted changes in economic structure |

Economic development is measured on the basis of four criteria
Gross National Product (GNP):
(i) GNP is the total market value of all final goods and services produced within a nation in a particular year, plus income earned by its citizens (including income of those located abroad), minus income of non-residents located in that country.
(ii) GNP is one measure of the economic condition of a country, under the assumption that a higher GNP leads to a higher quality of living, all other things being equal.
GNP per capita:
(i) This relates to increasing in the per capita real income of the economy over the long period
(ii) This indicator of economic growth emphasizes that for economic development the rate of increase in real per capita income should be higher than the growth rate of population.
Welfare:
(i) Economic development is regarded as a process whereby there is an increase in the consumption of goods and services by individuals.
(ii) From the welfare perspective, economic development is defined as a sustained improvement in health, literacy, and standard of living
Social Indicators:
(i) Social indicators are normally referred to as basic and collective needs of the people
(ii) The direct provision of basic needs such as health, education, food, water, sanitation, and housing facilities check social backwardness.
| S/N | Basic need | Indicators |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Health | Life expectancy at birth |
| 2 | Education | Literacy signifying primary school enrolment as a percent of the population. |
| 3 | Food | Calorie Supply per head |
| 4 | Water supply | Infant mortality and percentage of the population with access to potable water |

| A person who quits one job in favor of looking for work elsewhere but has yet to find work | Unemployed |
126.
(i) The balance of aggregate demand and aggregate supply was first described.
(ii) The cost of goods is determined by the ratio of aggregate demand and supply for them, both domestically and from abroad;
(iii) He theory is true regarding any quantity of goods and any number of countries, as well as for the analysis of trade between different entities.
(iv) In this case, country specialization in some goods depends on the ratio of wage levels in each country;
(v) The theory based the existence of benefits from trade for all countries, taking part in it;
(vi) There become possible to develop foreign economic policy on the scientific foundation.
127.
(A) GNPMP = Sum of net value added by all the industries
(i) value - added by industry A.
= Sale of goods to industry B + Sale of goods to industry C − Value of imports
Sale of goods to consumers = Rs. 400 + Rs. 200 + Rs. 1,000 − Rs. 100
= Rs. 1,590.
(ii) Value - added by industry B
= Sale of goods to industry C + Sale of goods to consumers.− Purchase of goods from industry A
= Rs. 500 + Rs. 800 − Rs. 400
= Rs. 900.
(iii) Value - added by industry C
= Sale of goods to consumers + Exports − (purchase of goods from industry A+purchase of goods from industry B)
= Rs. 600 + Rs. 500 - Rs. 200 - Rs. 500
= Rs. 400.
Gross National Product at market prices, or
GNPMP equals
Rs. 1,500 + Rs. 900 + Rs. 400
= Rs. 2,800
Gross National Product at factor cost or GNPFC equals
GNPMP − Indirect taxes + Subsidies
= Rs. 2,800 − Rs.100 + Rs. 50
= Rs. 2,750.
Net National Product at market prices, or NNPMP equals.
GNPMP − Depreciation
= Rs. 2,800 − Rs. 100
= Rs. 2,700.
Net National Product at factor cost or NNPFC equals
NNPMP - Indirect.taxes + Subsidies
= Rs. 2,700-Rs. 100 + Rs. 50
= 2,650.
as factors of production and include things such as land, labour, capital and entrepreneurship.
1. Producers of goods and services incur a cost for using these factors of production. These costs are ultimately added onto the price of the product.
2. The factor cost refer to the cost of production that is incurred by a firm when producing goods and services.
3. Examples of such production costs include the cost of renting machines, purchasing machinery and land, paying salaries and wages, cost of obtaining capital, and the profit margins that are added by the entrepreneur.
4. The factor cost does not include the taxes that are paid to the government since taxes are not directly involved in the production process and, therefore, are not part of the direct production cost.
5. However, subsidies received are included in the factor cost as subsidies are direct inputs into the production.
128.
Definition
(i) The multiplier is defined as the ratio of the change in national income to change in investment.
(ii) If ΔI stands for increase in investment and ΔY stands for resultant increase in income, the multiplier K =ΔY/ΔI.
Assumptions of Multiplier
1. There is change in autonomous investment.
2. There is no induced investment
3. The marginal propensity to consume is constant.
4. Consumption is a function of current income.
5. There are no time lags in the multiplier process.
6. Consumer goods are available in response to effective demand for them.
7. There is a closed economy unaffected by foreign influences.
8. There are no changes in prices.
9. There is less than full employment level in the economy.
The value of multiplier depends on MPC
Multiplier K = 1/1-MPC
(i) The multiplier is the reciprocal of one minus marginal propensity to consume. Since marginal propensity to save is 1 - MPC. (MPC + MPS = 1).
(ii) Multiplier is 1/ MPS. The multiplier is therefore defined as reciprocal of MPS. Multiplier is inversely related to MPS and directly with MPC.
Numerically, if MPC is 0.75, MPS is 0.25 and k is 4.
Using formula k = 1/1- MPC
1/1-0.75 =1/0.25 =4

Diagrammatic Explanation.
(1) At 45° line y = C+ S
(2) It implies the variables in axis and axis are equal.
(3) The MPC is assumed to be at 0.8 (C = 100 + 0.8y)
(4) The aggregate demand (C + I) curve intersects 45° line at point E.
(5) The original national income is 500. (C = 100 + 0.8y = 100 + 0.8(500) = 500)
(6) When I is 100, y = 1000, C = 900; S = 100 = I
(7) The new aggregate demand curve is C + I = 100 + 0.8y + 100 +10
(8) Y = 210 / 0.2 = 1050
(9) C = 940; S = 110 = I
129.
1. In addition to household and firms, inclusion of the government sector makes this model a three-sector model.
2. The government levies taxes on households and firms, purchases goods and services from firms, and receive factors of production from household sector.
3. On the other hand, the government also makes social transfers such as pension, relief, subsidies to the households.
4. Similarly, Government pays the firms for the purchases of goods and services.
5. The Flow Chart illustrates three- sector economy model

Under three sector model, national income
(Y) is obtained by adding Consumption expenditure (C), Investment expenditure (I) and Government expenditure (G).
Therefore Y = C + I + G
