A nation with payments surplus will experience rising income which will increase imports and thereafter equilibrium is restored in Balance of Payments.
4. Capital Flows
Changes in the interest rate consequent to the BoP disequilibrium will encourage capital flows from the surplus nations to deficit nations helping restoration of the BoP equilibrium.
102.
1. Transfer payments are not to be included in estimation of national income as these payments are not received for any services provided in the current year such as pension, social insurance etc.
2. The receipts from the sale of second hand goods should not be treated as part of national income as they do not create new flow of goods or services in the current year.
3. Windfall gains such as lotteries are also not to be included as they do not represent receipts from any current productive activity.
4. Corporate profit tax should not be separately included as it has been already included as a part of company profit.

For Egression Calculations, we draw the following table
| Month(X) | Height(Y) | X2 | XY |
| 1 | 52.5 | 1 | 52.5 |
| 2 | 58.7 | 4 | 117.4 |
| 3 | 65.0 | 9 | 195.0 |
| 4 | 70.2 | 16 | 280.8 |
| 5 | 75.4 | 25 | 377.0 |
| 6 | 81.1 | 36 | 486.6 |
| 7 | 87.2 | 49 | 610.4 |
| 8 | 95.5 | 64 | 764.0 |
| 9 | 102.2 | 81 | 919.8 |
| 10 | 108.4 | 100 | 1084.0 |
| ΣX = 55 | ΣU = 796.2 | ΣX2 = 385 | ΣXY= 4887.5 |
Considering the regression line as Y = a + bX, we can obtain the values of a and b from the above values.
\(a=\frac { \sum { Y } \sum { X } ^{ 2 } }{ { N\sum { X } }^{ 2 }-{ (\sum { X } ) }^{ 2 } } \)
\(a=\frac { 796.2x385-55x4887.5 }{ 10x385-55x55 } \)
\(b=\frac { N\sum { XY-\sum { X } \sum { Y } } }{ N{ \sum { X } }^{ 2 }-{ (\sum { X } ) }^{ 2 } } \)
\(a=\frac { 10x4887.5-55x796.2 }{ 10x385-55x55 } \)
= 6.16
Hence the regression line can be written as
Y = 45.73 + 6.16x
124.
1. Human Resources:
Human resource is named as human capital because of its power to increase productivity and thereby national income. There is a circular relationship between human development and economic growth.
2. Technical Know-how:
As the scientific and technological knowledge advances, more and more sophisticated techniques steadily raise the productivity levels in all sectors. Schumpeter attributed the cause for economic development to innovation.
3. Political Freedom:
The process of development is linked to political freedom. DadabhaiNaoroji explained in his classic work ‘Poverty and Un- British Rule in India’ that the drain of wealth from India under the British rule was the major cause of the increase in poverty in India.
4. Social Organization:
People show interest in the development activity only when they feel that the fruits of development will be fairly distributed.
5. Corruption free administration:
Corruption is a negative factor in the growth process. Unless the countries root-out corruption in their administrative system, the crony capitalists and traders will continue to exploit national resources.
6. A desire for development:
The pace of economic growth in any country depends to a great extent on people’s desire for development
7. Moral, ethical and social values:
These determine the efficiency of the market, according to Douglas C. North. If people are not honest, the market cannot function.
8. Casino Capitalism:
If People spend a larger proportion of their income and time on entertainment liquor and other illegal activities, productive activities may suffer, according to Thomas Piketty.
9. Patrimonial Capitalism:
If the assets are simply passed on to children from their parents, the children would not work hard, because the children do not know the value of the assets.

| (1) Income (Y) |
(2) Consumption (C) |
(3) Investment (l) |
(4) Aggregate Demand AD = C + 1 = Column(2) + Column(3) |
| 0 | 30 | (a) | 50 |
| 300 | 300 | 20 | 320 |
| 400 | 390 | 20 | 410 |
| 500 | 480 | 20 | 500 |
| 600 | 570 | 20 | (e) |
Using AD = C + II,
(a) 50 = 30 + 20
(b) 320 = 300 + 20
(c) 410 = 390 + 20 Deriving the consumption function:
Autonomous consumption = 30 (from the first row where Y = 0).
To find the mpc, calculate a change in C (e.g. 390 – 300 = 90), and divide by the corresponding change in Y (400 – 300 = 100).
So the mpc = ΔC/ΔY = 90/100 = 0.9 Hence, the consumption function is C = 30 + 0.9Y To fill in
(d) C = 30 + 9(600) = 30 + 540 = 570.
(e) follows from 590 = 570 + 20.
f. Equilibrium is where Y = AD, which is at 500 (see shaded row).
126.
Types of Exchange Rate:
(i) Nominal Exchange Rate
(ii) Real Exchange Rate
(iii) Nominal Effective Exchange Rate
(iv) Real Effective Exchange Rate If 1US Dollar = Rs.75
(i) Nominal Exchange Rate:
Nominal Exchange Rate =\(\cfrac { 75 }{ 1 } \)
This is the bilateral nominal exchange rate.
(ii) Real Exchange Rate:
(1) Real Exchange Rate = \(\cfrac { { eP }_{ r } }{ P } \)
P = Price level in India
PF = Price level in abroad (say US)
e = Nominal Exchange Rate
(2) If a pen costs Rs.50 in India and it costs 5 USD in the US.
\(\therefore \text {Real Exchange Rate}=\cfrac { 75\times 5 }{ 50 } =7.5\)
(3) If real exchange rate is equal to 1, the currencies are at purchasing power parity.
(4) If the price of the pen in US is 0:66 USD, then the real exchange rate

Then it could be said that the USD and Indian rupee are at purchasing power parity.
127.
(i) Income by Income Method. Income method approaches National Income from the distribution side.
(ii) National income is calculated by adding up all the incomes generated in the course of producing national product.
(iii) Factor incomes are grouped under labour income, capital income and mixed income.
(iv) national income is calculated as domestic factor income plus net factor incomes from abroad. In short,
Y = w + r + i + π + (R-P)
w = wages
r = rent
i = interest
π = profits
R = Exports
P = Imports
(v) This method is adopted for estimating the contributions of the remaining sector, viz.
(vi) Data on income from abroad (the rest of) the world sector or foreign sector are obtained from the account of the balance of payment of the country.
Items no to be included:
(1) Transfer payments are not to be included in estimation of national income.
(2) The receipts from the sale of second hand goods should not be treated as part of national income.
Item to be included:
(1) Imputed value of rent for self occupied house or offices is to be included.
(2) Imputed value of services provided by owners of production unit (family labour) is to be included.
128.
129.
(a) Rapid Economic Growth:
(i) It promotes rapid economic growth.
(ii) Thus both public requirements and private needs are taken care of.
(b) Balanced Economic Growth:
(i) Mixedism promotes balanced growth of the economy.
(ii) It promotes balanced growth between agriculture and industry.
(c) Proper utilization of Resources:
(i) The government can ensure proper utilization of resources.
(ii) The government controls must of the important activities directly.
(d) Economic Equality:
(i) The government uses progressive rates of taxation.
(ii) Income tax to bring about economic equality.

Introduction
The concept of multiplier Was first developed by R.F. Khan in terms of employment. J.M Keynes redefined it as investment multiplier.
Definition
Multiplier is defined as the ratio of the change in national income to change in investment.
\(K=\Delta Y / \Delta I\)
The value of multiplier depends on MPC.
\(\mathrm{K}=\frac{1}{1-\mathrm{MPC}} \text { since } \mathrm{MPC}+\mathrm{MPS}=1\)
\(k=\frac{1}{N 118}\)
Multiplier is inversely related to MPS and directly with MPC.
If MPC is, 0.75, MPS is 0.25 then K=4.00
\(\frac{1}{1-0.75} \text { or } \frac{1}{0.25}=4\)
| MPC | MPS | k |
| 0.00 | 1.00 | 1 |
| 0.10 | 0.90 | 1.11 |
| 0.50 | 0.50 | 2.00 |
| 0.75 | 0.25 | 4.00 |
Working
(i) Suppose government undertakes investment expenditure equal to र100 cr on public works.
(ii) Income of labourers and suppliers of materials increases by र100 cr
(iii) If MPC is 0.8 that is 80 %. र80 cr is spent on consumption र20 cr salved
(iv) Suppliers of goods get an income of र80 cr. They spend र64 cr (ie 80% of र80 cr).
(v) In this manner consumption expenditure and increase in income act in a chain like manner.
