1 Select the bank 1. Demand cure is also know as the revenue curve Average Marginal Incremental Budget 2. An entrepreneur co-ordinates Factors of supply Factors of production Scientists Marketing representatives 3. The commodity that is is the opportunity cost of the commodity produced Sacrificed Produced Considered Consumed 4. Dr. Alfred Marshall also suggested another method called the of measuring price elasticity at point on the demand cure. Point geometric method Arc elasticity method Percentage method Point elasticity method 5. Law of variable proportion occupies an important place in Economic theory Form s Labour Population 6. In the 3 rd stage of operation of the law of variable proportions, the marginal product becomes negative Positive Zero Remains same 7. In real world perfect competition is seldom seen Imperfect Semi perfect real 8. Keynes defined Marginal efficiency of capital as the highest rate of return over expected cost on producing an additional unit of an asset. Marginal efficiency of Labour Marginal efficiency of land Marginal efficiency of entrepreneur 9. Keynes believed that, fluctuations in the Marginal efficiency of capital are the fundamental cause of trade cycle and income fluctuations in a capitalist economy. Marginal efficiency of Labour Marginal efficiency of land Marginal efficiency of entrepreneur 10. An upward sloping demand curve is called Exceptional demand curve Normal demand curve Expansionary demand curve Concretionary demand curve

2 11. A normal demand curve has Negative slope Positive slope Upward slope Horizontal slope 12. Under perfect competition each makes Normal profit in the long run. Abnormal Supernormal zero 13. The market price is determined by the interaction of the market demand curve and supply curve Cost curve Revenue curve Average cost curve 14. Keynes believed that with reduced consumption saving of people rise Demand Supply Price level 15. Keynes theory of consumption is a psychological theory Sociological Physiological political 16. Expansion or contraction in supply of capital may affect the fortunes of business Supplly Demand Consumption 17. Without Government intervention all goods would be only private Market mechanism Price mechanism Cost mechanism 18. Government can stabilize the working of the markets Improve Deteriorate Neutralize 19. MR and are same in a perfectly competitive market AR TR AVC AFC 20. Joel dean suggested the methods of demand forecasting for new products Prof. clark Prof. pigou Marshall 21. A firm can stabilize its output where marginal cost is equal to MR AR AC AVC 22. When supply increases, demand remaining the same, the equilibrium price falls Rises Remains same Rises slightly

3 23. The intersection of market demand and supply curve determines Market price Selling price Abnormal price Administered price 24. Demand for a commodity depends on the relative price of its Substitute goods Necessary goods Luxury goods Complimentary goods 25. By we mean no government intervention Laissez faire Ceteris paribus Regulated economy Organization 26. Elasticity of demand for salt can be represented e=0 e=1 e<1 e>0 27. In method the opinion of the experienced persons with the firm are collected and a committee or the general manager of the firm analysis this information and forecasts the demand for the firm s product Composite management Collective opinion Sample survey Panel experts 28. To economist profits means total revenue minus all costs Explicit cost Implicit cost Sunk cost 29. Monopoly firm is a price Maker Taker Setter Avoider 30. The market economy believes in the survival of the Fittest Richest Poorest Weakest 31. Government intervention is strongly felt when markets Work Fail Improve Succeed 32. The AR curve faced by the firm under perfect competition is Horizontal to O X axis Perfectly inelastic demand Relatively inelastic demand Unitary elastic demand

4 33. To sustain the level of income and employment in the economy should increased Investment demand Compulsion to invest Capacity to invest Inducement to save 34. One of the problems associated with capital attracting standard is Profit earned Share capital Capital structure of the firm Interest on capital 35. The index numbers which are compiled to measure the changes in retail prices of various commodities refers to Wholesale prices index Commodity prices index Customer price indices Retail prices index 36. is a good example of monopoly in India Railways Post and telegraph Supply of electricity Telecommunication 37. Expansion of demand is More expensive demand Increase in demand Elastic demand Changes in demand 38. A consumers expectation about the future changes in the prices of given commodity also may affect Its supply Its demand Its quality Its market 39. Paradoxical to the law of demand are Giffen goods Complimentary goods Substitutes goods Necessary goods 40. Principle of is associated with private goods Non exclusion Exclusion Divisibility Division 41. In case of monopoly and industry are the same Firm Plant Industry Group 42. The difficulties in transport may cause a in the supply Temporary decrease Permanent decrease Increase No change

5 43. When two or more goods consumed in combination to satisfy a given want, it is called Complimentary goods Giffen goods Luxury goods Necessary goods 44. National income statistics help people assess the of economy Industrial welfare Growth performance Agricultural unemployment Disguised unemployment 45. The equilibrium level of effective is determined where ADF= ASF ED IMF MEC 46. are goods which are already establish in the market Established products New products Home products Foreign products 47. Relatively inelastic demand is Less than 1 Between1 & 2 More than 1 Equal to Cost-benefits analysis can be useful in determining the role of government in our economy because it would tell us about the possible from government provision of a particular good Advantages to society Advantages to government Advantages to foreigners Advantages to the political leaders 49. The term giffen good coined by Adam smith Robert Giffen Alfred marshal J R Hicks 50. Production function gives us an idea of the of the output and the optimum employment of the variable inputs. optimum level low level high level medium level 51. No single criterion satisfies all the conditions, therefore different standards are used for Different purposes Different targets Different objectives Various purposes 52. When aggregate supply in the economy is greater than aggregate demand, factors that would show a rising tendency include output and Employment

6 Labour Prices Costs 53. The law of constant returns to scale is depicted by the marginal out put curve which is Horizontal Vertical Downward sloping Upward sloping 54. True / False 1. With the technological advances, the flow of output increases from given input (T) 2. Lack of professionalism calls for denationalization (T) 3. To the firm explicit costs are the money payment which the self owned and employed resources could earned in their next 4. Specific demand forecasts gives a total picture of the demand for the markets of a firm s product 5. The supply of factory made goods of daily consumption in inelastic (T) 6.

The word profit has the same meaning to businessmen, accounting, tax collectors, workers etc.(f) 27. Demand in economics also means demand per unit of time (F) 28. For consumption of private goods its purchase by paying the right price is essential (T) 29. Where there exists a close substitute in the relevant price range, its demand will tend to be inelastic (F) 30. imitative pricing involves following the pricing policy of other rival or competitive firm (T) 31. A mid term appraisal in respect of short term project is desirable 32. Products produced by different firms under competitive market are homogenous 33. Total outlay is total quantity demanded multiplied by price per unit of the product 34. Open market operations involve purchase of goods and services from open market 35. The total number of consumer s for a firm s product is called the population. 36. Planned expenditure of the government of india for year was greater than its non plan expenditure (F) 37. In a competitive world every company tires to attain competitive monopoly (T)

7 38. Cross elasticity refers to the responsiveness of demand for a commodity to a given change in the price of substitute or complementary (T) 39.. When the proportion of change in demand is exactly the same as the change in price, the demand is said to be relatively elastic.(f) 40. Cost benefit analysis an investor asses the worth of an investment project (T) 41. The term elasticity of demand, when used without qualifications is commonly referred to as price elasticity of demand 42. Laws of returns to scale deals with quantities of some factors is kept fixed but other factors is varied 43. Role of cost plus pricing could be identified in product tailoring (T) 44. Aggregate demand function is the schedule showing a relationship between maximum expected sales proceeds and different levels of output and employment 45. Predictions of the future demand for a firm s product or products are called demand forecasts 46. The total outlay remains constant in the case of unitary elastic demand (T) 47. The Production function can be studied in four ways(f) 48. Monopolist faces a downward sloping demand curve indicating that price charged by monopolist would lead to less quantity demanded.(t) 49. Government of India has adopted a system of dual prices in case of goods such as sugar, cement & paper 50. Contraction of supply is traced by the downward movement on the supply curve (T) 51. Demand is backed by necessary purchasing power.(t) 52. IPCL has taken over by reliance (T) 53. Insurable risks cannot be covered by insurance (F) 54.

Deficit financing involves financing of government budget deficit (T) Multiple Choice Single Responses 1. Benefit cost ratio is used as the criterion for Production Project appraisal Investment Distribution 2. when input and output increase in the same proportion, then it is called as increasing returns to scale inflated returns to scale constant returns to scale prosperous returns to scale 3. Which changes in cost, administered price also changes Also changes Does not changes Becomes unpredictable Changes profits levels 4. Cost plus pricing method assumes that cost can be allocated Individual products Complementary products Composite products Substitute products

8 5. The opinion polling method tries to collect information directly or indirectly from The general people The prospective people Selected section of people Producer s of commodities 6. A good source of public revenue is Taxes collected Salary Payment of wages Payment of bouns 7. Theory of production and cost is called Supply side Demand side Labour side Producer side 8. A place where buyers and sellers meet each other to effect a business transaction is know as Market Plant Industry Trust 9. A commodity like milk that is used on a daily by consumers, enjoys a highly Inelastic demand Highly elastic Infinity Elastic 10. After charging skimming price a firm may subsequently Increase price Decrease price Stabilize price Keep changing the price 11. Industries, other than those needing compulsory licensing, will need no approval of government in such cities where population is More than one million Less than one million 1 crore Less than one crore nut more than 50 lakhs 12. The risk which cannot be passed on to an insurance company is Fire Competition Theft Accident 13. In the long run firm under perfectly competitive market earns Normal profit Abnormal profit Supernormal profit losses 14. With improvement in technology, with the given inputs, in level output Increases Decreases Remains constant

9 None of the above 15. Accounting costs are called as Explicit cost Implicit cost All costs Internal costs 16. Black money can also be called An unaccounted money Stolen money Not hared earned money Social change 17. Black money can be accumulated By paying regular taxes By evading tax payment By way of salary By way of printing money 18. In a monopolistically competitive industry, industry, price is Above marginal cost since each firm is a price setter Equal to marginal cost since each firm is a price taker Below marginal coat since each firm is a price setter Always a fraction of marginal cost since each firm is a price setter 19. The extent of variation in demand is technically expressed as Elasticity of demand Desire backed by purchasing power Want Changes in demand 20. Jevons, the economists who defined the term market different from that the traditional sense is an English economics French economics German economics Indian economics 21. Abnormal profits attract rivals and Wipe out profits Wipe out losses Increase competition Crate scarcity of raw materials 22. Basic objective of administered prices are Ensures regional balance Ensures that every unit makes exorbitant profit To fix and maintain prices of essential eaw material avoid cost escalation To ensure economic prices to uneconomic units so that the letter too can earn profit 23. According to Alfred Marshall market has been classified in to Superstar Amitabh Bachcan was roped in to strengthen the sales of Cadbury Amul Wafers

10 Nutrine 25. Market economy is also involved in Overproduction Underproduction No production Low production 26. Macro economics is the study of Consumer behaviour Economy as a whole Individual demand Individual supply 27. Government through the industrial policy of a nation could Prevent the entry of private entrepreneurs to certain business Create income equalities Create regional imbalance Encourage credit flow 28. By public expenditure, we mean Expenditure incurred by government Expenditure incurred by firms Expenditure incurred by households Income of general public 29. Participation in market economy is guided motive of Maximum private profit Maximum social benefit Maximum social cost Maximum social profit 30. The total fixed cost curve is Horizontal curve Vertical curve Sloping from left to right Sloping from right to left 31. In case of such quasi private or quasi goods when element of public ness is dominant, they are termed as Public goods Private goods Joint goods Composite goods 32. Labour payment is covered under Fixed cost Total costs Variable cost Cost on wages 33. Enough demand is essential to sustain Full employment Cost of production Profit revenue 34. Uncertainty and risk arises mainly due to uncertain behaviour of the Market forces Factors Change in technology

11 Mangers 35. Dalal street in Bombay is known as Bombay stock Exchange Bombay money market Mangaldas market Mulji Jetha market 36. Goods produced on small scale have Relatively inelastic supply Relatively elastic supply Unitary elastic Perfectly inelastic 37. Replacement cost is highest for Capital goods Durable goods Consumer goods Perishable goods 38. The concept of effective demand is Aggregate expenditure in the economy Aggregate income of the economy Availability of goods per unit of time Demand with out consumption gap 39. In general demand for luxurious and comforts is Relatively inelastic Relatively elastic Infinity elastic Perfectly inelastic 40. Marginal cost is also taken as a change in TVC TFC AVC AFC 41. Cost benefit analysis in broader sense refers to Evaluation of any project Evaluation of its employees Evaluation of a quality of production Evaluation of only cost 42. Total fixed cost divided by total unit output Average fixed cost Marginal cost Variable cost Average cost 43. A firm initiating changes in price is called Price taker Price initiator Price follower Price leader 44. The demand curve has a Negative slope Positive slope Horizontal line

12 Vertical line 45. When the proportion of change in the quantity demanded is greater than that of price the demand is said to be Elasticity or demand is infinity Relatively elastic Perfectly inelastic demand Relatively inelastic demand 46. Administered prices are often inadequate to meet the Rise in cost Fall in cost Stability in cost Profit expectations 47. The number of total firms under pure competition always remains Optimum Minimum Very less Very large 48. The number of sellers operating under perfect competition as compare to oligopoly is Smaller Larger Lesser Fewer 49. One of the factors of production is Raw materials Labour Building Shares 50. The slope of supply curve of Labour is always Upward Downward Backward Rightward 51. Pure profit is considered to be a Long term phenomenon Short term phenomenon Medium term profit Long term profit 52. Income elasticity refers to degree of responsiveness of demand for a commodity to given change in the consumer s Expenditure Income Behaviour Expectations 53. In economics, supply is considered to be a Relative term Absolute term Subjective term Objective term

13 54. For financing economic development of India, one of the measures resorted to is Deficit financing Zero base budgeting Surplus budget Denationalization 55. Total fixed cost of a firm includes Depreciation Payment of wages to Labourers Rent paid Running expenses on fuel 56. Public expenditure is incurred by government through Public revenue Private income Past savings Deficits 57. Keynes believed that full employment was Difficult to attain Easy to attain Normal phenomenon Possible with government intervention 58. The classical economics analysis of market is based assumption of Monophony Perfect competition Monopolistic competition Duopoly 59. Cost is less than revenue indicates Output and employment will decrease Output and employment will increase Output and employment will remain constant Output cannot be determined 60. In sample survey method Demand forecasts of new goods is based on the information about established goods Some new goods are substitutes of already established goods It is possible to estimate the demand for the new good by studying how the established goods have grown The new product is first introduced in some sample markets 61. Paradox of thrift is also known as Paradox of savings Paradox of income Paradox of consumption Paradox of employment 62. Large number of buyers and sellers is one of the features of Monopoly Pure competition Duopoly Oligopoly 63. The law demand is usually referred to the Individual demand Market demand

14 A firm s demand Industry demand 64. The commercial value of relatively elastic demand lies between One and infinity One and ten One and fifty six Zero and one 65. An inventory refers to the stock of Factors of production Raw materials Machines Distribution 66. Expansion of supply is shown by the movement in the supply curve which is Downward Upward Higher Lower 67. PDS stands for Public distribution system Public development system Private development system Private distribution system 68. Government intervention, according to Keynes, is essential to ensure Full employment High level production Low cost unemployment 69. NTC stands for National textile corporation National thermal company National transport corporation National tourist company 70. Issue of new currency could be controlled if Treasury bills are not issued Treasury bills are issued Commercial bills are issued Commercial bills are not issued 71. Formula of accounting profit TC-(W-R+I+M) AC-(W-R+I+M) TR-(W-R+I+M) MC-(W-R+I+M) 72. In modern times, entrepreneurs are also required to take note of the political climate in the World State Society Country 73. Composite management opinion may not give very accurate results because They may be biased No scientific base

15 Based on the opinion of the experts It is rough method 74. General theory of employment, interest and money was written by Prof J R Hicks Prof Lionel Robbins Prof J M Keynes Prof Amartya Sen 75. The total number of consumers for a firm s product is called The unit The group The section The population 76. On account of new machines, a firm is able to effect a substantial reduction in the Cost of production Revenue of firm Wages of labour Installation cost 77. Pure public good must be in the hands of Public sector Private sector Joint sector Mixed sector 78. In economics. demand does not mean simple Desire Need Want Willingness to pay 79. The price the consumer is willing to pay may have no relation with Costs Depreciation Company profits Company sales 80. Macro economics is the study of Consumer behaviour Economy as a whole Individual demand Individual supply 81. Managerial economics can also be called Macro economics Applied economics Labour economics Industrial economics 82. An example of economic aggregate could be National income Individual demand Individual supply Rent 83. The profit should be large enough to allow for a Normal earnings Plough-back

16 Capital attracting Rational profit 84. Suppose government introduces a public park, expenses incurred on such a park are termed as Public expenditure Private expenditure Daily collections through such a park Monthly fees 85. A monopolist faces a download sloping market curve, where Average revenue is less than marginal revenue Marginal revenue is greater than price changed Average revenue is less than the price of its product Marginal revenue is always less than price charged 86. A market in which any firm has little ability to influence market prices is called Systematic market Competitive market Comprehensive market Monopoly market 87. cross elasticity refers to the responsiveness of demand for a commodity to a given change in the price of a Related commodity Substitute commodity Competitive commodity Inputs 88. The supply is always referred to Price and time Income and expenditure Inflation Production 89. Co-ordination between the factors of production ensured by Banker Manger Labour Entrepreneur 90. Government incurs expenditure on Building of bridges Construction of multiplexes Provision of consumer articles Provision of cloth 91. Market mechanism leads to emergence of Monopolies Perfect competition Monopolistic competition Duopoly 92. Prof J K Galbraith introduced Countervailing power Countervailing duties Conditional power Conditional publicity 93. things that are produced by the factors of production are called goods

17 services commodities output 94. ADF is important from the view point of determining Effective demand Aggregate supply Aggregate demand Inflation 95. As generally, output cannot be increased without an increase in the Input Cost Demand Production shifts 96. Demand for giffen goods is Negative income elasticity Zero income elasticity High income elasticity Low income elasticity 97. The consumer is wrongly biased against the Quality of a commodity Quantity of a commodity Availability of a commodity Packing of coomodity 98. To invite foreign investment in industries requiring large investment and advanced techniques, foreign direct investment in the from of foreign equity is permitted up to Changes in administered price leads to changes in cost but such a change in cost may not be Likely Certain Proportionate Predictable 100. The production which depended on the mercy of natural conditions is Agricultural produce Industrial produce Consumer goods Durable goods 101. Anybody interested in assessing the worth of yhis investment must go for Cost benefit analysis FIFO LIFO Inventory turnover ratio 102. Unavoidable costs are made when firm faces Growth Development Extension Contraction 103. In the case of relatively inelastic demand, the demand curve is

18 Rapidly sloping Slightly Horizontal straight line Vertical straight line 104. One of the major factors affecting elasticity of demand Nature of commodity Consumers behaviour Supply of inputs Firm ability to produce 105. The steel Authority of India limited Private sector Public sector undertaking Joint stock company Limited company 106. To solve the problem of unemployment Keynes has advocated government intervention through Fiscal policy Monetary policy measure Tax measure Income policy measure Multiple Choice Multiple Response 1. The subject matter of macroeconomics indicates Theory of income and expenditure Theory of money and banking Theory of trade Markets structures 2. Various methods of appraising investments include Pay back period Internal rate of return Net present value Interest coverage ratio 3. According to critics in this dynamic world The government policy may suddenly change Change in minatory policy takes place Contraction of supply of money takes place There may be change in consumer s income 4. According to cost-input relationship C- denotes the cost, which is a function of L-Labour and K- Quantity of capital K- Interest rate of capital 5. A market becomes competitive when Share of each buyer is small compared to the size of the market Share of each seller is small compared to the market Firms set their own price of the product Firms produce differentiated products 6. Demand forecasts may be based on Judgment of the experienced staff On scientific analysis (statistics) On individual opinion

19 On public opinion 7. The production function can be explained by Law of variable proportions Law of returns to scale Optimum combinations of inputs Total revenue and cost curve 8. The study of cost function involves Prices of inputs Rate of out put, size of plant State of technology Education of workers 9. The law of variable proportion Examines the production function With one factor variable Keeping the quantities of other fixed Examines the supply function 10. Prof. J M Keynes write a book on Employment Interest Money Consumer surplus 11. Features of monopoly are Single producer Barriers to entry No close substitutes to the product Perfectly elastic demand curve 12. Under perfect competition The number of firms in the industry is very large Each firm is very small in size Action of firm does not affect the market supply It is encouraged with a view to promote the exports 13. Causes of inflationary pressures in India during 90s were High fiscal deficit Supply and demand imbalances Decrease in procurement High unemployment 14. Forecasts can be made at the level of The firm The industry The nation The individual 15. The concept of opportunity cost is used for Measuring profits Policy decision of the firms Forming capital budget Measuring total cost 16. Explicit costs are Out of pocket costs These are firms accounting expenses

20 Expenditure costs Expenses made on self owned resources 17. Explicit costs are expenditure made on Salaries and wages paid to the employees Price of raw materials Fixed overhead costs Self cost 18. Demand forecasts are useful to firm for Long term investment decisions Budgeting polices Warehousing and inventory control Calculating profits 19. The demand for a product is influenced by The distribution of income Prices of related products Tastes of the consumer supply 20. Income earned by factors of production is called Wages Rent Interest capital 21. Economic profits means, total revenue minus Explicit cost Implicit costs Normal profits Only explicit costs 22. Public goods carry features such as principle of Non exclusion Indivisibility Exclusion Divisibility 23. The law of supply reflects The general tendency of the sellers In offering their stock of a commodity For sale in relation to the varying prices For sale in relation to the fixed prices 24. Under law of supply It is assumed That the price of the product changes But there is no change in the cost of production There is also change in the coat of production 25. Demand is determined by Price of the product Relative prices of other goods Tastes and habits Slope of the curve 26. The exception to law of supply explained by Backward bending supply curve Or regressive supply curve

21 Labour and savings Straight line supply curve 27. The basic assumption of Keynesian theory Short run equilibrium analysis Capitalist Technology and stock of capital are constant Long run analysis 28. Certain cost elements that are not firm s control are: Transport cost Fuel costs Taxes Building construction 29. e =? Q/? P x P/Q The original demand The original price Change in demand Price of giffen goods 30. Q = f ( N,L,K,T), this algebraic expression is used for Production function Demand function Supply function Cost function 31. Among various institutions associated with supplies to PDS are FCI Kirloskar Brothers STC IO C 32. Supply of kerosene to the PDS is handled by IOC Hindustan petroleum Bharat petroleum NTPC 33. PDS serves two purposes Helps government Creates employment opportunities Helps hold down price Provides essential to low income groups at relatively low prices 34. Defects of market mechanism are Inequalities in income and wealth Emergence of monopolies Equal distribution of income Existence of perfect competition 35. Conditions for price discrimination are Markets should be segmented Markets should be imperfect Elasticities in different markets would be different Resale of goods is possible 36. Two most important and widely accepted economic policies are Fiscal Monetary

22 Inventory Innovative 37. The total fixed cost is constant But total variable cost increases As production So total cost also increases So total cost also constant 38. Economic feasibility includes Prospects of employment generation Development of backward area Availability of management personnel Availability of finance 39. The cross elasticity of demand explains Percentage change in quantity demand of one good Percentage change in price of another good Ratio of changes in demand of one good and price of another good Change in income 40. The production function can be studied in three ways Law of variable proportion Laws to return to scale Optimum combination of inputs Studying cost function 41. A demand curve explains Price quantity relation Slope of curve Tabular statement Complementary goods demand only 42. The profit standards may be determined in terms of Aggregate money terms Percentage of sales Percentage return on investment Percentage of demand 43. Gross profit is used for payment for Remuneration to factors of production Depreciation Maintenance charges Capital expenditure 44. Pure profit makes provision also for Insurable risks Depreciation Necessary minimum payment of shareholders External costs 45. The world profit has different meanings to Businessmen Accountant Tax collectors Movie stars 46. Impure public goods are also called Quasi public goods Quasi private goods

23 Merit goods Cooperative goods 47. Public goods carry features such as principle of Non exclusion Indivisibility Exclusion Divisibility 48. Study of macroeconomics is important as It helps one to understand the working of the economic system It si based in empirical evidences It is policy oriented It studies individual objects 49. When a firm is small in size it may Not need an organized furcating system Not be able to afford an organized forecasting It is incapable of forecasting It has no competent staff to handle forecasting 50. For Keynes, business cycle is a composition of Good and bad trade Good trade and neutral trade Low unemployment levels and rising prices High unemployment levels and falling prices 51. Cost push factor causing price rise in India are Fluctuation in output and supply Taxation as a factor in raising costs Administered prices Mounting government expenditure 52. Various names to market mechanism are Price mechanism Market system Market economy Cost mechanism 53. Guideline followed by the government of india on pricing policy PSUs should be economically viable When PSUs compete with private sector, market forces would determine the price Cost plus method Marginal cost method 54. If in industrial enterprise capital is kept fixed And other factors are increased The marginal product will initially increase But will ultimately diminish And other factors are decreased 55. The important policy questions of profit are What are the criteria for determining the profit standard What from of profit standard should be used How should reasonable profits be determined How to distribute profit 56. types of imperfect competition are monopoly duopoly

24 monopolist competition pure competition 57. Policy of dual pricing is Create inequality Makes rich richer In the interest of the vulnerable sections of society It does not discourage the producers from expanding production and investment in the particular sector 58. Macro economic aggregates are National income Total investments Employment Business cycles 59. Increasing returns explains Total product increases at an increasing rate Marginal product increasing and it is maximum Average product is increasing but it is below MP Average product is increasing but it is above MP 60. Economic feasibility includes Prospects of employment generation Development of backward areas Availability of management personnel Availability of finance 61. The Total output of oil commodities in one country over a specific period, usually taken as a year is called Gross national product Gross national income Gross national output Net national output 62. Other related measures used by government of India to control inflation include OGL import policy for importing certain goods Excise cuts Adjustments in trade and tariff policies Expanding exports 63. In general most goods possess elements of Public-ness Private-ness Cooperativeness Complementarily 64. The price policy in a public enterprises will have Foreign trade Competition from private enterprises Its own profit Demands of labour unions 65. Standardizing and grading agencies in India are such as AGMARK ISI CBI RAW

25 66. The level of effective demand is determined by Aggregate demand function Aggregate supply demand Level of employment Level of inflation 67. innovation theory of profit explains about innovative nature of entrepreneur reward for innovation exploitation of innovation reward for discharging many duties 68. cooperation exists in marketing credit transport market of agricultural products 69. private goods carry features such as Principle of exclusion Principle of divisibility Principle of acceptance Principle of social recognition 70. Managerial economics generally refers to the Integration of economic theory with business practice Applied economics Business economies Econometrics 71. Role of cost plus pricing could be seen in pricing of public utilities such as Electricity supply Water supply Education Agricultural products 72. Match the following 1. Experimental pricing Involves fixing of prices by trials 2. Imitative pricing Price decided on the basis of 3. Skimming pricing change high price initially and Change low price initially and increase it subsequently Involves fixing of prices arbitrarily 1. Law of demand Inverse relation between price 2.
