1. Predetermined and well-defined objectives or goals.
2. For economic planning deliberate control and direction of the economy by a central authority, e.g., the state.
3. Optimum utilization of natural resources and capital which may be scarce and labor that may be abundant.
4. The objectives are to be achieved within a given interval of time – 5 years, 7 years, etc.
5. The performance of the economic functions of increasing production, maximizing employment and controlling population growth so that production outstrips population growth.
23.
(i) Money as a medium of exchange: This is considered as the basic function of money. Money has the quality of general acceptability, and all exchanges take place in terms of money.
(ii) Money as a measure of value: The second important function of money is that it measures the value of goods and services.
24.
(1) Value of final consumer goods and services produced in a year to satisfy the immediate wants of the people which is referred to as consumption (C);
(2) Gross private domestic investment in capital goods consisting of fixed capital formation, residential construction and inventories of finished and unfinished goods which is called as gross investment (I);
(3) Goods and services produced or purchased by the government which is denoted by (G) ; and
(4) Net exports of goods and services, i.e., the difference between value of exports and imports of goods and services, known as (X - M)
(5) GNP at market prices means the gross value of final goods and services produced annually in a country plus net factor income from abroad (C + I + G + (X - M) + (R - P)).
25.
Short - Run Factors
(i) Demand for the product: If the market for a particular good is expected to grow and its costs are likely to fall, the rate of return from investment will be high. If entrepreneurs expect a fall in demand for goods and a rise in cost, the investment will decline.
(ii) Liquid assets:
If the entrepreneurs are holding large volume of working capital, they can take advantage of the investment opportunities that come in their way. The MEC will be high.
(iii) Sudden changes in income:
The MEC is also influenced by sudden changes in income of the entrepreneurs. If the business community gets windfall profits, or tax concession the MEC will be high and hence investment in the country will go up. On the other hand, MEC falls with the decrease in income.
26.

27.
28.

(iv) Aggregate (desired) private savings (S)
(v) Net tax payments (T)
(vi) Personal (desired) transfer payments to the foreigners (Rf)
AS = C + S + T + Rf
In this figure 2 aggregate supply curves are drawn for the assumption of fixed money wages and variable wages.
Explanation
(i) Z Curve is linear (fixed money wages)
(ii) Z1 curve is non-linear (wage rate increases with employment)
(iii) When full employment level of Nf is reached output cannot be increased by employing more men.
(iv) So aggregate supply curve becomes inelastic (Vertical straight line).
(v) In reality aggregate supply curve will be like Z1 .
(vi) If prices are high and wages low, the producers will employ more labourers.

Money Supply in India
Money supply is a stock variable. RBI publishes information for four alternative
measures of Money supply, namely M1, M2, M3 and M4.
M1 = Currency, coins and demand deposits
M2 = M1 + Savings deposits with post office savings banks
M3 = M2 + Time deposits of all commercial and cooperative banks
M4 = M3 + Total deposits with Post offices.
M1 and M2 are known as narrow money
M3 and M4 are known as broad money
Determinants of Money Supply
1. Currency Deposit Ratio (CDR); It is the ratio of money held by the public in currency to that they hold in bank deposits.
2. Reserve deposit Ratio (RDR); Reserve Money consists of two things (a) vault cash in banks and (b) deposits of commercial banks with RBI.
3. Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR); It is the fraction of the deposits the banks must keep with RBI.
4. Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR); It is the fraction of the total demand and time deposits of the commercial banks is the form of specified liquid assets.
34.

(c) Public expenditure directly benefiting particular group of persons and indirectly the entire society, e.g. social security, public welfare, pension, unemployment relief etc. (d) Public expenditure conferring a special benefit on some individuals, e.g., subsidy granted to a particular industry.
2. Classification on the Basis of Function:

Introduction
J.M Keynes has divided factors influencing the consumption function into two namely Subjective factors and Objective factors
Subjective Factors
These factors are internal and related to psychological feelings. Keynes lists 8 motives which lead individuals to refrain from spending
Motive of precaution
To build a reserve against unforeseen contingencies. (eg.) Accidents
Motive of foresight
The desire to provide for anticipated future needs. (eg.) Old age
Motive of calculation
The desire to enjoy interest and appreciation.
Motive of improvernent
(i) The desire to enjoy for improving standard of living.
(ii) Motive of financial independence
(iii) Motive of enterprise - desire to do forward trading
(iv) Motive of pride - desire to leave a fortune
(v) Motive of avarice - miserly instinct
(vi) The government institutions, business corporations and firms may also consume mainly because of:
Motive of enterprise
The desire to get resources to carry out further capital investment without debt.
Motive of liquidity
The desire to secure liquid resources to meet emergency
Motive of improvement
The desire to secure a rising income and to demonstrate successful management
Motive of financial prudence
The desire to ensure adequate financial provision against depreciation, obsolescence and to discharge debt.
Objective Factors
They are the external factors which are real and measurable. They can be easily changed in the long run;
Income Distribution
According to VKRV Rao if incone is equally distributed propensity to consume increases
Price level
When price falls, real income rises; people consume more and save more.
Wage level
Consumption expenditure increases with a rise in wages.
Interest rate
Higher interest rate will encourage people to save more money and reduces consumption.
Fiscal Policy
When government reduces tax, disposable income rises and propensity to consume increases.
Consumer credit
The availability of consumer credit at easy installments will encourage people to buy consumer durables like car, fridge, computer
Demographic factors
(i) Size of family, stage in family life cycle, place of residence and occupation affect the consumption pattern
Duesenberry hypothesis
(i) Consumption expenditure depends on current income, past income and standard of living
(ii) As individuals are accustomed to a particular standard of living, they continue to spend the same amount on consumption
(iii) Consumption of the poor people is influenced by the rich. This is called Demonstration effect.
Windfall gain and loss
Unexpected changes in the stock market leads to gain or loss, so consumption function shifts upward or downward.
Conclusion
According to Keynes only the subjective factors do not change in the short-run, so consumption function remains stable in the short period.
42.
Introduction
Under the Keynes theory of employment, a simple two sector economy consisting of the household sector and the business sector is taken to understand the equilibrium between ADF and ASF.
Explanation
1. AD and AS reach equilibrium at E. The employment level is No
2. At ON1employment, the aggregate supply is N1R1. But the aggregate demand is M1N1.
3. The expected level of profit is M1R1.
4. To attain this level of profit, entrepreneurs will employ more labourers, till they reach point E i.e. ONo.
5. Beyond ONo, the aggregate demand curve is below the aggregate supply curve showing loss.
6. So they will never employ more than ONo labour.
7. The equilibrium level of employment need not be the full employment level (No).
8. The difference between No - N1 is the level of unemployment.
Conclusion
Thus the concept of effective demand becomes significant in explaining the under employment equilibrium.
43.
(i) National income is of great importance for the economy of a country.
(ii) National income helps us to know the relative importance and contribution of each sector. We could find how income is produced, how it is distributed, how much is spent, saved or taxed.
(iii) National income data is used to formulate monetary policy, fiscal policy and other policies.
(iv) Data regarding gross income, output, saving and consumption is uscd in economic planning.
(v) National income data is used to build economic models in short run and long run.
(vi) It is used to make international comparison, inter regional comparison and inter temporal comparison of growth of the economy during different periods.
(vii) If income is equally distributed, the per capita income will reflect the economic welfare of the country.
44.
45.
(i) A financial intermediary is a bank or other institution that serves as a link between lenders and borrowers.
(ii) They typically accept savings deposits from consumers and then lend money to consumers and businesses to finance purchases of goods and services or for investment purposes.
46.
i. Cyclical Unemployment
ii. Seasonal Unemployment
iii. Frictional Unemployment
iv. Educated Unemployment
v. Technical Unemployment
vi. Structural Unemployment
vii. Disguised Unemployment
47.
The term investment means purchase of stocks and shares, debentures, government bonds and equities.
48.
Financial planning is nothing but techniques of planning in which resources are allocated in terms of money
49.
Economic policies are necessary to solve the basic problems to overcome the obstacles and to achieve growth.
50.
Global warming is the current increase in temperature of the earth's surface (both land and water) and its atmosphere.
51.
(i) To accelerate the economic growth, social progress and cultural development in the region.
(ii) To promote regional peace and stability and adherence to the principles of the UN Charter.
52.
Stagflation is a combination of stagnant economic growth, high unemployment and high inflation.
53.
(i) "Full employment is the absence of involuntary unemployment." - Keynes
(ii) "Full employment is that level of employment at which any further increase in spending would result in an inflationary spiral of wages and prices" - Lerner
54.
\(\mathrm{GNP}=\mathrm{C}+\mathrm{I}+\mathrm{G}+(\mathrm{X}-\mathrm{M})+(\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{P})\) or \(\mathrm{GNP}_{\mathrm{MP}}=\mathrm{GDP}_{\mathrm{MP}}\) + Net Factor income from Abroad.
