(i) The cause for vicious circle of poverty is demand and supply.

(iii) Deficiency of capital leads to low productivity and back to low income.
(iv) On the demand-side, low level of real income leads to low demand so investment is less, therefore deficiency of capital, low productivity and low income.

(i) Hicks combined multiplier and accelerator to measure the total effect of initial investment on income.
(ii) Both induced consumption and induced investment are combined.
(iii) Also called leverage effect, it may lead the economy to a very high or low level of income propagation.
\(\mathrm{Y}=\mathrm{C}+\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{A}}+\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{P}}\)
Y = aggregate income
C = consumption expenditure
IA = autonomous investment
IB = induced private investment
119.
(i) Aggregate supply refers to the value of total output of goods and services produced in an economy in a year ie national product or income.
(ii) The components of aggregate supply are:
(iii) Aggregate (desired) consumption expenditure (C)
(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.
(vii) 4YAggregate supply is an important factor in determining the level of economic activity.

There are only two sectors - household sector and firm sector.
(i) Household Sector
1. It supplies the factors of production and gets income from the firm sector
2. It buys goods and services with its entire income.

2. It gets revenue by selling goods and services to the household sectors.
3. The production and sales are equal.
Y = C + I
Y is income
C is consumption
I is investment

Adam Smith argued that all nations can be benefitted when there is free trade and specialisation in terms of their absolute cost advantage
The Theory
(i) According to Adam Smith, the basis of international trade was absolute cost advantage.
(ii) Trade between two countries would be mutually beneficial when one country produces a commodity at an absolute cost advantage over the other country which in turn produces another commodity at an absolute cost advantage over the first country.
Assumptions
1. There are two countries and two commodities (2 x 2 model).
2. Labour is the only factor of production
3. Labour units are homogeneous
4. The cost or price of a commodity is measured by the amount of labour required to produce it.
5. There is no transport cost.
Illustration
Absolute cost advantage theory can be illustrated with the help of the following example.
(iii) From the illustration, it is clear that India has an absolute advantage in the production of wheat over China and China has an absolute advantage in the production of cloth over India
(iv) Therefore, India should specialize in the production of wheat and import cloth from China. China should specialize in the production of cloth and import wheat from India
(v) This kind of trade would be mutually beneficial to both India and China.

NNP = 7950 – 900 = 7050
NI = 7050 – 500 = 6550
PI = 6550 – 500 – 700 + 300 + 1100

(i) In a four-sector economy, in addition households, firms and government, a fourth sector namely, external sector is included.
(ii) In the real life, only four-sector economy exists. This model is composed of four sectors namely,
1. Households
2. Firms
3. Government
4. External Sector
The external sector comprises exports and imports. It is illustrated in the Flow Chart

In four-sector economy, expenditure for the entire economy include domestic expenditure (C + I + G) and net exports (X - M). Therefore,
Y = C + I + G + (X - M)
127.
(i) The propensity to consume refers to the portion of income spent on consumption.
MPC = \(\frac{ΔC}{ΔY}\)
(K) = \(\frac{1}{1-MPC}\)
(ii) The multiplier is the reciprocal of one minus marginal propensity to consume.
(iii) Multiplier is 1/MPS
(iv) The multiplier is therefore define as reciprocal of MPS.
(v) 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 = \(\frac{1}{1-MPC}\)
⇒\(\frac{1}{1-0.75}\) = 1/0.25 = 4
∴ Multiplier (K) = 4
| MPC | MPS | K |
|---|---|---|
| 1.00 | 1.00 | 1 |
| 0.10 | 1.90 | 1.11 |
| 0.50 | 0.50 | 2.00 |
| 0.75 | 0.25 | 4.00 |
| 0.90 | 0.10 | 10.00 |
| 1.00 | 0.00 | ∝ |
C = 100 + 0.8Y;
I = 10
Y = C + I
= 100 + 0.8 Y +9p00
0.2Y = 1000
∴ Y = 1000
Here, C = 100 + 0.8y
= 100 + 1000 = 900
S = 100 = I
After I is raised by 10, now I = 110
Y = 100 + 0.8y + 110
0.2y = 210
y = \(\frac{210}{0.2}\) = 1050
Here, C = 100 = 0.8 (1050) = 940,
S = 110 = I
(i) It implies the variables in axis-and axis are equal.
(ii) The MPC is assumed to be at 0.8. (C = 100 + 0.8y)
(iii) The aggregate demand (C + I) curve intersects 45° line at point E.
(iv) The new aggregate demand curve is
C + I = 100 + 0.8Y + 100 + 10
Y = \(\frac{210}{0.2}\)
C = 940; S = 110 = Z

Law
According to Keynes, "men are disposed as a rule and on the average to increase their consumption as their income increases but not by as much as the increáse in their income".
Propositions
1. When income increases, consumption expenditure also increases, but by a smaller amount
(a) When income increases from 120 to 180; consumption also increases from 120 to 170 but the increase in consumption is less than the increase in income, 10 is saved.
2. The increased income will be divided in some proportion between consumption expenditure and saving
(a) When income increases to 180 and 240, it is divided between consumption (170 and 220) and saving (10 and 20)
3. Incrcascs in income always lead to in incrcase in both consumption and saving
(a) Increases in income to 180) and 240; lead to increased consumption 170 and 220; increased saving 10 and 20.
(b) It is clear from the widening area below the C curve and the saving gap between 45o line and C curve.
| Y | C | S |
|---|---|---|
| 120 | 120 | 0 |
| 180 | 170 | 10 |
| 240 | 220 | 20 |
