NATIONAL INCOME
What is macro-economic?
 Branch of economics which studies economic activities at the level of economy as a whole
 Aggregate saving, aggregate demand, Theory of employment
Difference between Micro and Macro Economics

Basis Micro Economics Macro Economics

Intermediate Goods
 Refer to those goods which are used either for resale or for further production in the same year.
Intermediate Goods include:
a. Goods purchased for resale (like milk purchased by a Dairy Shop).
b. Goods used for further production (like milk used for making sweets).
 Intermediate goods are used up in the same year. If they remain for more than one year, then they are
treated as final goods.
Final Goods: - Final goods refer to those goods which are used either for consumption or for investment
1. Goods purchased by consumer households as they are meant for final consumption (like
milk purchased by households).
2. Goods purchased by firms for capital formation or investment (like machinery purchased by a firm).
`Page 3 of 88
Note: - Final goods are neither resold nor used for any further transformation in the process of production
Final goods Intermediate goods

These are ready for final use they are for resale or used for further
by consumer for consumption or production.
By producer for investment.
These are:- These are purchased by one firm from
(a)Consumer goods used for satisfaction of another for following purpose:-
wants. They may change during use. (a) Resale during the year
(b) Capital goods which help in production (b) Use as raw material in production
process. They do not transform during use. process. So they may change during
production process
These are included in national income These are not included in national income.
Consumer goods or consumption goods

These are final goods (Durable goods, Semi durable goods, Non-durable or perishable goods, Services)
directly used by ultimate consumer household for satisfaction of wants. For example: - sugar if used by
consumer to make biscuits is consumer good.
Consumption goods
1. Non-durable goods: Goods use in a single act of consumption Example:- coke, ice-cream
2. Semi-durable goods Use for some longer period of time Example:- tooth-paste
3. Durable goods Can be used for several years Example:- furniture, television
4. Services: - an Intangible thing which directly satisfies human wants Example: - doctor service,
mobile service.
Capital goods these are durable final goods used by the producers in the production process. They do
not change during production process. For example fixed assets like machines, plants and equipment used in
production process.

CONCEPT OF STOCK AND FLOW
Difference between stock and flow

Basis Stock Flow
Meaning Stock variables are measured at a Flow variables are measured over a period of
particular point in time time,
Time Stock has no time dimension Flow has time dimension like per hour, per day,
per month and per year
Concept Stock is a static concept Flow is a dynamic concept
Example Examples Wealth, Balance sheet Examples Investment, Profit and loss account.
GPD
Concept of investment
Investment:-Investment is defined as the additional to capital stock which raises the productive capacity
of the economy.
Two types
1. Gross capital formation
2. Net capital formation
Gross capital formation/investment:-The total capital formation in a given period in an economy is termed
as gross investment and before making allowance for depreciation.
1. Gross fixed capital formation
2. Stock investment
3. Residential construction
Depreciation or consumption of fixed capital.-It is the loss in the value of fixed assets during use due to
(a) Normal wear and tear and
(b) Expected obsolescence
It does not include capital loss due to unexpected obsolescence like natural calamities, theft or accident
Net capital formation/investment:-Gross capital formation – depreciation / consumption of fixed capital
Consumption of fixed capital Capital Loss

It is loss in the value of fixed assets due to It is loss in the value of fixed assets due to natural
normal wear and tear and expected calamities and unexpected obsolescence.

Circular Flow Of Income

Circular flow of income: -It implies the flow of income across different sectors of the economy
Circular flow with two sector economy
A simple economy assumes the existence of only two sectors i.e. household sector and firm sector.
Households represent the owner of all factors of production and the consumers of goods and services. On the
other hand, firms produce and sell goods and services to the households.
Assumptions:
1. There are only 2 sectors in the economy. Households and Firms.
2. There are no savings in the economy, i.e., neither the households save from their incomes, nor do
the firms save from their profits.
3. There is no government.
4. It is a closed economy.
The entire amount of money, which is paid by firms to the factor owners (households), is paid back by factor
owners to the firms. So, there is a circular and continuous flow of money income. In the circular flow of
income, production generates factor income which is converted into expenditure.

REAL GDP VS NOMINAL GDP

Nominal GDP
 It is the monetary value of all goods and services produced in an economy during a financial year
estimated using current market prices.
Real GDP
 It is the monetary value of all goods and services produced in an economy during a financial year,
estimated using base year prices.
Price index/ GDP deflator A Price index is a number showing the changes in the overall level of prices. It
shows a change in the general price level of an economy.
Price index/GDP deflator = Nominal GDP / Real GDP * 100
How Real GDP is derived?

Ans : Real GDP = Nominal GDP/Price Index X 100
Real GDP or Nominal GDP or

GDP at constant prices GDP at current year prices
It is the monetary value of all goods and It is the monetary value of all goods and services
services produced in an economy during a produced in an economy during a financial year,
financial year estimated using current estimated using base year prices.
market prices
Base year price is taken as constant. Market prices do not remain constant.
This GDP changes only due to change in It changes due to change in both price and output
output of the economy. So it is a reliable of the economy. So it is not a reliable measure of
measure of economic growth. economic growth.
Consumer price index:- Calculated by dividing the price of the basket of goods and services in a given
year by the price of the same basket in the base year multiplied by 100.
Consumer price index = Cost of Market Basket of Current Year / Cost of Market Basket of Base Year * 100
Consumer price index GDP deflator

The goods purchased by consumers do not represent GDP deflator takes into account all such
all the goods which are produced in a country goods and services.
CPI includes prices of goods consumed by the GDP deflator does not include prices of
representative consumer, hence it includes prices of Imported goods.

Factor Income vs Transfer Income
Factor Income: - Income received by factors of production in return for rendering productive (factor)
services is called factor income or factor payment. e.g. rent, wages, interest and profit.
Transfer Income: - is the earning for which no contribution is made to the flow of goods and services. e.g.
gift, donation, scholarship etc. In other words it is income received without anything provided in return
Difference between factor income and transfer income

Factor income or Factor payment Transfer Income or Transfer payment

rendering factor services by the factors of corresponding services.
production.
These are included in national income. These are not included in national income
Example: Rent, wages, interest, and profit. Example: old age pension, scholarship of students,
Retirement pension. unemployment allowance, remittances from
abroad, financial help to earthquake victim,
Resident vs Citizenship
A normal resident is said to be a person: A resident, whether a person or an institution, is one whose centre
of economic interest lies in the economic territory of the country in which he lives. The ‘centre of economic
interest’ implies two things:
1. The resident lives or is located within the economic territory
2. The resident carries out the basic economic activities of earnings, spending and accumulation
from that location
Citizen: - Citizenship is a legal concept based on the place of birth of the person or some legal provision
allowing a person to become a citizen.
Problem: - Will the following be treated as resident of India or other country?

1. An Indian citizen living in Singapore for business
2. An Indian citizen working in U.S.A embassy located in India
3. A student from Japan for education in India
4. Indian student living in Australia for two years for the studies
5. British employee working in Indian embassy located in London
Solution
1. Resident of Singapore (economic interest lies in Singapore)
2. Resident of India
3. Resident of Japan
4. Resident of India
5. Resident of England
`Page 8 of 88
Economic territory
Economic Territory: - Geographical Territory Administered By A Government within Which Persons,
Goods And Capital Circulate Freely And Includes
• Political Frontiers Including Territorial Waters And Air Spaceships Aircrafts
• Fishing Vessels , Oil And Natural Gas Rights
• Embassies, Consultants , Military Bases Etc
 Those parts of the political frontiers of a country where the government of that country does
Not enjoy the above “freedom” are not to be included in economic territory of that country.
One Example is “Embassies”.
 Government of India does not enjoy the above freedom in the foreign
Embassies located within India. So, these are not treated as a part of economic territory of India.
 They are treated as part of the economic territories of their respective countries.
 For example the U.S. embassy in India is a part of economic territory of the U.S.A. similarly; the
Indian embassy in Washington is a part of economic territory of India.
GDP- Reliable Measure of Economic Growth
Limitations of GDP as a measure of economic welfare)

GDP Is An Important But Not A Perfect Measure Of Countries Economic Well Being Into Account The
Following ………
1. Non-monetary transactions-
 GDP remains underestimated as non-monetary transactions like services of housewife, barter
exchanges, enjoyment from hobbies like gardening, painting etc. are not included in GDP.
Although they increase economic welfare.
 These activities may be left out from estimate of national income due to the non-availability of data.
But these activities do contribute to welfare of the people.
 Since GDP may not account for such activities, it may be underestimated. As a result welfare of the
people is also underestimated.
2. Distribution of GDP – If the GDP of the country is rising, the welfare may not rise as a
consequence. This is because the rise in GDP may be concentrated in the hands of very few
individuals or firms. For the rest, the income may in fact have fallen. In such a case the welfare
of the entire country cannot be said to have increased
3. Externalities. Externalities refer to the benefits (or harms) a firm or an individual causes to another
for which they are not paid (or penalized). Externalities do not have any market in which they can
be bought and sold
Positive Externalities
 The social benefits are referred to as positive externalities.
 For example, construction of a highway or flyover reduces transport costs & journey time
to those who have not contributed towards the cost of construction.
 This is not reflected in GDP, & thus welfare is underestimated.
Negative externality
 Is referred as social cost harms.
 Polluting river by oil refinery reduces welfare through negative effect on Health..
 Welfare is less than what is indicated by GDP.
 GDP overstates welfare
`Page 9 of 88
Classify the following into factor income and transfer receipt. Give reason for your answer.
1. Employer’s contribution to social security schemes.
 It is a factor income as it is earned because employees are rendered corresponding services to the
employer.
2. Scholarship given to students by the government.

 It is transfer receipt as it is unearned because students are not rendered any corresponding
services to the government.
3. Old age pension given by the government.

 It is transfer receipt as it is unearned because pensioners are not rendered any corresponding
services to the government.
4. Bonus given to employees by employer.

 It is a factor income as it is earned because employees are rendered corresponding services to
the employer
Examples of transfer payments
1. Old age pension:-No, it will not be included in the national income as it is a transfer payment made
by the government and a transfer income for the receiver. Old age pension must not be confused
with retirement pension. Old age pension is not included in national income as it is a transfer
payment. On the other hand, retirement pension is included in national income as it is a part of COE.
2. Financial help received by flood victims.-No, it will not be included in the national income as it
is a transfer income.
3. Money received by a family in India from relatives working abroad.-No, it will not be
included in the national income as it is a transfer receipt.
4. Insurance money received from Oriental Insurance due to destruction of factory due to fire.-
No, it is not included in the national income because it is a transfer receipt.
5. Scholarship given to Indian students studying in India by a foreign company. OR Expenditure
by the Government on scholarships to students.-No, it will not be included in the national
income as it is a transfer payment.

Net factor Income from Abroad

Net factor Income from Abroad is the difference between the factor income earned from abroad by the
normal residents of a country and income paid for the factor services rendered by non-residents within the
domestic territory of the country. The concept of Net factor Income from Abroad is used to differentiate
between national income and domestic income.
Net factor Income from Abroad = Factor Income from abroad by the Normal residents – Factor
Income of Non-residents in the domestic territory
Components of Net factor Income from Abroad

(i) Net compensation of employees: - It is the difference between the compensation of resident employees
working temporarily in foreign countries and the compensation of non-residents foreign employees working
temporarily in domestic territory of the country.
(ii) Net income from property and entrepreneurship :- It is equal to the difference between the income
received by way of interest, rent and dividend by the residents of the country and similar payments made to
the rest of the world.
(iii) Net retained earnings of resident companies abroad :- It is the difference between the retained earnings
of the resident companies located abroad and retained earnings of foreign companies located in a country.
Net factor Income from Abroad = Net compensation of employees + Net property and entrepreneurship income
from abroad + Net retained earnings of residents companies abroad
Significance: National Income = Domestic income + NFIA
Relation between national product and Domestic product.

Domestic product concept is based on the production units located within domestic economic) territory,
operated both by residents and non-residents.
National product concept based on resident and includes their contribution to production both within
and outside the economic territory.
National product = Domestic product + Residents contribution to production outside the economic territory
(Factor income from abroad) - Non- resident contribution to production inside the economic territory (Factor
income to abroad)
Question: Can gross domestic product be greater than gross national product?
Ans:- Domestic product can be greater than national product if factor income paid to the rest of the world is
greater than the factor income received from the rest of the world is i.e. when net-factor income received
from abroad is negative.

Factor Cost & Market Price

Explain the concept of indirect Tax
Ans : It refers to the difference between Indirect Tax paid by the enterprises to the Govt. & the Subsidies
paid by the Govt. to some of the enterprises. This concept is used to obtain the national income at factor
cost or factor prices. The NIT is deducted from market price (MP) to get factor cost (FC). Indirect Tax is
the amount of burden whose impact falls on one person or a group and the incidence falls on other person or
group. Subsidies refer to the financial assistance or aid provided by the state to the weak & sick units
(i) Factor cost refers to all factor payments made by the producing unit to the factors of production for
rendering productive services in the production of goods and services.
(ii) Market price is the price at which a commodity is sold and purchased in the market.
Subsidies: These are the cash grants given by the government to the enterprises to encourage production of
certain commodities or to promote exports or to sell goods at prices lower than the free market prices.
Significance: Market price = Factor cost + Indirect taxes – Subsidies.
Product at Factor Cost Product at Market Price

It is the Income earned by all the factors of It is the Market Value of all final goods and
production in a financial year. services produced in a financial year
It does not include Indirect taxes It includes Indirect taxes
It includes subsidies It does not include subsidies
Product at Factor Cost= Product at Market Price – Product at Market Price =Product at Factor Cost

Consumption of Fixed Capital: Fall in value of fixed assets due to normal wear and tear, and expected
obsolescence is called consumption of fixed capital. Its two reason are (i) Normal wear and tear (ii)
Expected Obsolescence () loss of value to change in technology.

4. Net Exports Difference between value of exports and value of import
Estimation of GDP at MP by adding

1. Private Final Consumption Expenditure
2. Govt. Final Consumption Expenditure
3. Gross Fixed Capital Formation
4. Net Exports
Note:-
Gross Domestic Capital Formation =

Gross Fixed Capital Formation + Change In Stock
If
Gross Fixed Capital Formation Is Given
Add Change in Stock to It
If
Gross Domestic Capital Formation Is Given
Ignore Change in Stock
Precaution in Expenditure Method
1. Expenditure on intermediate goods:-Do not include expenditure on intermediate goods and services:-
Intermediate expenditure is a part of final expenditure hence its inclusion leads to double counting.
2. Expenditure on second hand goods; - Do not include expenditure on secondhand goods;-Expenditure
on these goods was accounted when they were purchased new.
`Page 17 of 88
3. Expenditure on shares and bonds: - Do not include expenditure on financial assets:-Purchasing of

financial assets only leads to transfer of money from one person or one institution to another person or
institution.
4. Production for self consumption:- Include imputed expenditure on own account produced output used
for consumption and investment:-The imputed value of owner occupied house, self consumed output
by farmers etc must be taken into account while estimating final expenditure.
5. Government expenditure on transfer payment :-Excluded:- does not lead to any production of
goods and services
Why are exports included in the estimation of domestic product by the expenditure method?
Ans. Expenditure method estimates expenditure on domestic product, i.e. expenditure on final goods and
services produced within the economic territory of the country. It includes expenditure by residents and non-
residents both. Exports, though purchased by non- residents, are produced within the economic territory, and
therefore, a part of domestic product.
Is net export a part of NFIA? Explain.

Ans. No, it is not.Net export, the difference between export and import (X- M), is a part of expenditure on
domestic product. While NFIA is the difference between income earned from abroad by the normal
residents of a country and income earned by non-residents in the domestic territory of that country. It is not
included in the domestic product rather it is a component of NI. Therefore both are different concepts.

Value added method/Output Method

Value Added Method: - Value added refers to the difference between value of output and the value of
intermediate consumption of each producing units in the country. Sum total of value added by all the
producing unit within the domestic territory of the country is equal to domestic product.
Steps taken in estimating N.I. by product/ value added method?

Measures the national income by estimating the contribution of each individual enterprise at that particular
stage of production in the domestic territory of the country in an accounting year
1. Classify all the production units:- Locate the domestic territory into distinct industrial sectors ie
primary, secondary and tertiary sectors.
a) Primary sector:-Exploits natural resources and produce goods and services it includes all
agricultural and allied activities.
b) Secondary sector:-Converts one goods into another by creating more utility from it.
c) Tertiary sector:-Provides useful services to primary and secondary sector that smoothen their
working. Such as banking, insurance, communication etc.
2. Estimate value of output:- As sum of sales and change in stock of all the 3 sectors.
3. Estimate value of intermediate consumption:-A sum of value of intermediate consumption of all the 3
sectors.
4. Estimate GVAmp:- Value of output – Intermediate consumption.
5. Estimate NVAmp:- Deduct the value of depreciation from GVAmp.(NVAmp= NDPmp).
6. Estimate NDPfc:- Deduct the value of Net Indirect Taxes from NDPmp.
7. Estimate NNPfc :- Add the value of Net Factor Income from Abroad with NDPfc to reach NNPfc or
the N.I.
Difference between value of output and value added

Value of output Value added
Market value of all goods and services Difference between value of output and the
produced by a firm in a accounting year value of intermediate consumption
= Sales + change in stock( closing stock – = Value of Output – Intermediate consumption
opening stock)
Bigger concept Part of value of output
1. Gross value of output:- value of output refers to the market value of the total output produced by
a firm during an accounting year
2. Intermediate consumption: - refers to the money value of raw materials used in the process
of production. Includes value of non-factor such as raw material etc.
`Page 27 of 88
Steps involved in production method/value added method
How to avoid problem of Double Counting

1. Final Output Method: - According to this method the value of intermediate goods is deducted from the
value of output. In other words value of final goods and services only is included in national income. The
value of the final output can be calculated by deducting the value of intermediate goods from the value of
output.
Value of Final Output = Value of Output – Value of Intermediate Goods
Note: - non marketed services are not included in national income

Certain goods and services which are not consumed by the household which are not purchased from the
market
Examples are:
1. Growing fruits and vegetables in kitchen garden , making paintings for one’s drawing room,
repairs on electrical equipments etc
2. Free services provided to family members such as father teaching to his own son
3. Domestic services by the housewives.

MONEY AND BANKING

Central bank: -Apex institution which plays leading role in organizing, regulating, supervising and
developing the banking and financial system of a country.
Functions of Central bank
1. Bank of issue,
2. Govt. Bank
3. Banker's Bank
4. Controller of Credit
1. Bank of issue’ function of the central bank/ Monopoly of note issue

 The central bank is given the sole monopoly of issuing currency in order to secure control over
volume of currency and credit. These notes circulate throughout the country as legal tender
money.
 There are two reasons for giving the monopoly power of note issue to the central bank.
o It brings about uniformity in note circulation.
o It gives a central bank some direct control over ‘money supply’.
2. Explain ‘Government’s Bank’ function of central bank

 Banking Business: it accepts deposits, makes payments, and carries out exchange on behalf of
the government.
 Extends Loans: It provides short term credit to the government by printing money against its
security, bills to finance government deficit.
 Agent: A central bank also provides various services as agent of the government. It manages
public debts. I
 Advisor: Central bank gives advice to the government regarding taxation interest rates, credit
expansion
3. Banker's Bank and Supervisor

a. As an banker:-Acts as custodian of cash reserves of commercial and other banks.
Maintains deposits of cash reserves as required by the commercial banks.
b. As a supervisor:-The regulation of banks may be related to their licensing, branch expansion,
liquidity of assets, management, Amalgamation (merging of banks) and liquidation (the
winding up of banks).
c. Lender of last resort function of central bank:-.
o The pool of funds with the Central Bank serves as a source from which it can make advances
to banks temporarily in need of funds, acting in its capacity as lender of last resort.
o It means that if a commercial bank fails to get financial accommodation from anywhere, it
approaches the Central Bank as a last resort. Central Bank advances loan to such banks
against approved securities.
 The banking system of the country does not suffer from any set back.
 Money market remains stable.
d. Clearing House for Transfer and Settlement: RBI settles mutual indebtedness between banks.
It makes entire process of collecting bank to bank payments easy and much less time consuming.
4. Controller of Credit
This is the most crucial function played by any central bank in the modern times. Central Banks are
supposed to regulate and control the volume and direction of the credit by using the:
1. Quantitative techniques – are those techniques which influence the volume of credit in the
economy like open market operations, bank rate policy, repo and reverse repo rate policy
etc.
2. Qualitative techniques - or selective credit control techniques are the ones which influence the
`Page 43 of 88
direction of credit in the economy like Margin Requirements and Moral Suasion, Credit rationing
Bank Rate: is the rate of interest at which central bank lends money to commercial banks for longer period.
`Page 44 of 88
1. During inflation/excess demand Increase in the bank rate will make the loans more expensive for the
commercial banks; thereby, pressurizing the banks to increase the rate of lending. The public capacity
to take credit at increased rates will be lower, leading to a fall in the volume of credit demanded.
2. During deflation /deficient demand The reverse happens in case of a decrease in the bank rate.
This increases the lending capacity of banks as well as increases public demand for credit and hence
will automatically lead to a rise in the volume of credit flowing in the economy.
2. Legal reserve ratio:- it includes:-

a. Cash reserve ratio: It is percentage or certain ratio of commercial banks net demand
deposits & times liabilities which it has to keep with central bank RBI as cash
 During inflation/excess demand: - central bank increases this ratio, the cash reserves with the
commercial banks get reduced. As a result they are forced to contract credit. Thus excess
demand in the economy is also reduced.
 During deflation /deficient demand, where the objective is to expand credit, the cash reserve
ratio is lowered by the central bank. This will increase cash availability with the commercial
banks and they can lend more and create more credit.
b. Statutory Liquidity Ratio: It is the ratio or percentage of net total demand & time liabilities of
commercial banks which they have to keep with them in form of liquid assets in government
securities
commercial banks get reduced. As a result they are forced to contract credit. Thus excess demand in
the economy is also reduced.
 During deflation /deficient demand, where the objective is to expand credit, the cash reserve ratio is
lowered by the central bank. This will increase cash availability with the commercial banks and they can
lend more and create more credit.
3. Open market operations It refers to the buying and selling of government security by the Central
Bank from/to banks on its own account.
During inflation/excess demand
 During inflation.RBI sells securities
 Sale of government securities will reduce reserves.
 Bank gives RBI a cheque for the securities.
 This directly reduces bank’s ability to give credit.
 Therefore this decreases money supply in the economy.
During deflation /deficient demand
 When RBI buys securities from banks
 RBI gives the bank a cheque drawn on itself in the payment for the securities.
 RBI increases reserves of the bank by the particular amount.
 This directly increases the bank’s ability to give credit.
 Thus money supply increases
4. Margin requirements: A margin is the difference between the amount of the loan and market value of
the security offered by the borrower against the loan. If the margin imposed by the Central Bank is
40%, then the bank is allowed to give a loan only up to 60% of the value of the security. By altering the
margin requirements, the Central Bank can alter the amount of loans made against securities by the
banks
 During inflation/excess demand: - Central bank raises the margin requirement. When margin
requirements are raised, credit borrowed is discouraged. This results in downswings of
economic activity and thus, has a disinflationary impact
 During deflation /deficient demand: - Central bank reduces the margin requirement.
When margin requirements are reduced, credit borrowed is encouraged. This results in
upswings of economic activity and thus, has a inflationary impact
`Page 45 of 88
5. iquidity adjustment Ratio

Repo Rate: is the rate of interest at which central bank lends money to commercial banks for short
period.
 Du ring inflation/excess demand
 Central Bank can reduce excess demand by raising the Repo Rate.
 Raising Repo Rate makes borrowings by commercial banks costlier. So these banks are
forced to raise their lending rates. Since borrowing becomes costly for people, they borrow
less. Banks therefore create less credit.
 During deflation /deficient demand
 Central Bank can increases excess demand by reducing the Repo Rate.
 When the rate is reduces, encourages the commercial banks to borrow funds from the central
bank.
 This increases lending capacity of the commercial banks. Lending by the commercial banks
to public increases leading to rise in aggregate demand.
Reverse Repo Rate: It is the exact opposite of repo. Reverse repo rate is the rate at which RBI borrows
money from banks for short period
 Central Bank can reduce excess demand by raising the Reverse Repo Rate.
 When the rate is raised, it encourages the commercial banks to park their funds with the central
bank.
 This reduces lending capacity of the commercial banks. Lending by the commercial banks to
public declines leading to fall in aggregate demand.
 Central Bank can increases excess demand by reducing the Reverse Repo Rate.
 When the rate is reduces, it discourages the commercial banks to park their funds with the central
bank.
 This increases lending capacity of the commercial banks. Lending by the commercial banks to
public increases leading to rise in aggregate demand.
6. Credit rationing;-Refers to the fixation of credit limits for different business activity or for a
particular business sector
 During inflation/excess demand:- Uses in a negative manner would mean using measures to
restrict the flow of credit to particular sectors
 During deflation /deficient demand:-Uses in a positive manner would mean using measures
to channel credit to particular sectors, usually the priority sectors.
7. Moral suasion: includes persuasion, request, advice and suggestion to the commercial banks by the
central bank of a country. Central bank clarify them the need for implementation of a particular
monetary policy and requests them to follow this policy during excess demand and deficient
demand
Summary of fiscal tools at the time of inflation and deflation

Fiscal tools During inflation During Deflation
Bank rate Increase Decreases
Credit reserve ratio Increase Decreases
Statutory liquidity ratio Increase Decreases
Repo rate Increase Decreases
Reverse repo rate Increase Decreases
Marin requirement Increases Decreases
Open market operation Selling of govt securities Purchase of govt securities
`Page 46 of 88
Commercial Banks:-Institution which receives funds from the public and gives loans and advances to
those who need them
Credit creation by bank:-Credit creation is the process of multiplying initial deposits of banks into a huge
amount. Banks creates credit by advancing loans to its customers out of what they have received in the form
of deposits from the public. Credit creation depends on two things
1. The amount of the initial fresh deposits and
2. The legal reserve ratio (LRR) the minimum ratio of deposit legally required to be kept as
liquid assets by the banks.
3. It is assumed that all the money that goes out of banks is redeposit into
Suppose the initial deposits in banks are Rs. 10000 and the LRR is 20 %. Further suppose that banks keep
only the minimum required i.e. Rs. 2000 as cash reserve. Banks are now free to lend the remainder Rs. 8000.
Now, since all the transactions are routed through the banks, the money spent by the borrowers comes back
into the banks into the deposit accounts of those who have received this payment. This increases demand
deposits in banks by Rs. 8000 when banks receive new deposit of Rs. 8000; they keep 20 percent of it as
cash reserves and use the remaining Rs. 6400 for giving loans
How many times the total deposits would be of the initial deposit is determined by the LRR. The multiple
called the money or deposit multiplier, is:
Money multiplier = 1 /LRR. (In our above illustration the LRR is 0.2 therefore)
Money multiplier = 1 /0.2 = 5

The total money creation is thus:
Money creation = Initial Deposit X money multiplier = 10000 X 5 = 50000
Note:-Higher the legal reserve ratio lower will be size of credit multiplier
Deposit Creation By Commercial Banks

Money:-It may be defined as 'anything which is generally acceptable by the people in exchange of goods
and services or in repayment of debts.'
Define money supply and explain its components.
The supply of money means the total stock of all the forms of money (paper money, coins and demand
deposits of banks) which are held by the public at any particular points of time. Thus components of money
1. Currency.C + DD + OD:-Currency includes coins and currency notes. Currency is also called
fiat money. Fiat money or currency is defined as the money which, under law, must be accepted
for all debts.
2. Chequable deposits/Demand deposit. A chequable deposit is any deposit account on which a
cheque can be written. Chequeable deposits are called demand deposits because the amount in such
deposits is payable on demand.
3. Other deposits with RBI - which includes deposits with RBI other than those of government OD
includes demand deposits of public financial institutions (like IDBI, etc.), foreign central banks
and governments, IMF, World Bank, etc
`Page 47 of 88
THEORY OF INCOME AND EMPLOYMENT
Aggregate Demand (AD) and its Components
Aggregate demand refers to the total demand for goods and services in the economy. Since aggregate
demand is measured by total expenditure of the community on goods and services, therefore, aggregate
demand is also defined as 'total amount of money which all the sections (households, firms, government) are
ready to spend on purchase of goods and services produced in an economy during a given period.
Thus, AD = C + I + G + (X- M)
1. Household (or Private) Consumption Demand: It is defined as 'Value of goods and services that households
are able and willing to buy.' Alternatively it refers to total expenditure to be incurred by all households on
purchase of goods and services.
2. Private Investment Demand: This refers to planned (ex-ante) expenditure -on creation of new capital assets
like machines, buildings and raw by private entrepreneurs..
3.Government Demand for Goods and Services (Government Purchases): It refers to government planned (ex-
ante) expenditure on purchase of consumer and capital goods to fulfil common needs of the society. The level
of government expenditure is determined by government policy.
4. Net Exports (Exports-Imports): It is the difference between export goods and services and import of
goods and services during a given period. Net exports reflect the demand of foreign countries for our goods
and services over our demand for foreign countries goods and services.
But for simplifying the analysis, Keynes included only first two components, namely, consumption demand
and investment demand. Accordingly, we shall also include in aggregate id (AD) only two broad
components of demand such as consumption id (C) and investment demand (I). Put in symbols: AD = C + I
Behavior of aggregate demand
• There is a Direct Relation Between AD and Level Of Income/Employment

• Even at the Zero Level of income there is minimum demand for consumption goods known as
Autonomous Consumption
• Investment does not depend on the level of in income(autonomous)
Consumption expenditure:- Total expenditure on purchase goods and services by the entire household.
• Consumption Expenditure. it depends on the level of income. two types

• Autonomous Consumption :- Minimum Level Of Consumption At Zero Level Of Income
• Induced Consumption :- Depends On The Levels Of Income

Given consumption curve, derive saving curve and state the steps taken in the process of derivation. Use
diagram.
Consumption and Saving Curves are Complementary Curves.
a) We know that income (Y) is the sum total of consumption (C) and savings (S) as income is either
consumed or saved. It means, consumption and saving curves are complementary curves.
b) We can derive saving curve from the consumption curve. In the diagram, CC is the consumption curve and
the 45° line (OY) represents income. Consumption, at zero level of income, is equal to OC (autonomous
consumption. The amount of saving is indicated by vertical distance between consumption curve and income
line. So savings, at zero level of income, will be OS (= – OC). It means, the saving curve will start from point
S on the negative Y-axis.
c) CC intersects OY at point E (Break-even point) where savings are zero. Draw a perpendicular on the X-
axis (point K) at the income level where the consumption curve and 45° line intersect each other. Join S &
K to obtain saving curve.
d) Beyond point E (Break even point) consumption is less than income therefore savings are positive is
saving curve is above the x-axis. As income increases, saving also increases.

Types of unemployment
Involuntary unemployment (against the wish)
 Persons willing and able to work at the current wage rate but do not get it
 Arises due to fall in aggregate demand and decline in investment
 Indicate under-employment equilibrium
 Can removed by raising the level of aggregate demand through government intervention
Voluntary unemployment (as per wish)
 Worker able to work, refuses to work at the prevailing market wage

rate Example:- frictional unemployment and Structural unemployment
Frictional unemployment
 Workers voluntarily quit their previous jobs and are searching for new better job
 Lack of information about the availability of jobs, immobility of labor
Structural unemployment
 Where demand for labor is declining due to lack of skills required for expanding industries
 Exists for longer period of time then frictional unemployment
Concept of ex-ante and ex-post
Ex-ante saving (planned saving)
The saving which are planned to be made by the entire household in the economy during a period (say a year) in the
beginning of the period
Ex-ante investment (planned investment)
The investments which is planned or desired to be made by the firms or entrepreneurs in the economy during a period
in the beginning
Note: - Ex-ante saving and Ex-ante Investment Are Not Always Equal Savers and Investors Are Different Groups of
People
Ex-post (actual) saving
Actual amount of saving that take place in an economy
Ex-post (actual) investment
Refers to realized investment in an economy during a year
• Note:- Ex-post Saving And Ex-post Investment Are Always Equal
`Page 60 of 88
Full Employment:
Refers to a situation in which every able bodied person who is willing to work at the prevailing rate of
wages is, in fact, employed.
 Full employment implies absence of involuntary unemployment. That is why full employment is also
defined as a situation where there is no involuntary unemployment.
 In reality, full employment never exists because it is always possible to find some people unwilling to do
any productive work though they may be fit physically and mentally. Thus, frictional, structural and
voluntary unemployment can co-exist within the state of full employment.
 Both Classical economists and Keynes view full employment as 'absence of involuntary
unemployment'.
 But whereas Classical thought that there is always full employment in the economy, Keynes thought that
there is generally less than full employment of resources in the economy.
Full employment equilibrium:
 Full employment equilibrium refers to the equilibrium where all resources in the economy are
fully utilized (employed). It is that level at which AD = AS at full employment.
 There are no unused resources. There is no involuntary unemployment.
 Aggregate demand is just sufficient to ensure full utilization of all available resources.
 The situation of full employment equilibrium has been illustrated in Fig. X-axis measures the level of output
(or AS) whereas Y-axis measures aggregate demand (i.e., consumption demand + investment demand).
 AS is expressed by 45° line whereas the line AD represents aggregate demand. Both the curves
intersect at point E which yields full employment equilibrium because aggregate demand EM is
equal to full employment level of output OM.
Under-employment equilibrium: It means equality between aggregate demand and 'aggregate supply but at less
than employment'.
 It is a state of equilibrium where level of demand is less than full employment level of output'. In other
words, in producing the output, economy’s all resources are not fully employed, i.e., some resources are
underemployed.
`Page 61 of 88
 This situation is caused not by low level of aggregate supply but deficiency of aggregate demand. When level
of demand is less than full employment level of output, it is called deficient demand which pushes the
economy into under-employment equilibrium.
 The situation of under-employment equilibrium has been shown in above Fig. wherein employment
equilibrium is at point E but under-employment equilibrium occurs at point E1 because AD1 (actual) curve
intersects the same AS curve at due to inadequacy of demand. OM1 is the under-employment equilibrium level
of income which is less than OM full employment equilibrium level of income,
 Under-employment equilibrium gives rise to deflationary gap shown as EB in the fig. Since, AD falls short of
AS at full employment by EB, therefore, additional investment expenditure equal to the level of EB (i.e.,
deflationary gap) is required to reach full employment equilibrium.
Explain national income equilibrium through aggregate demand and aggregate supply. Use diagram. Also
explain the changes that take place in an economy when the economy is not in equilibrium.
According to the Keynesian theory, the equilibrium level of income in an economy is determined when the aggregate
demand (AD) for goods and services is equal to the aggregate
supply (AS).
1. Aggregate demand refers to the total expenditure of the economy.AD = C + I
2. Aggregate supply is the total output of goods and services of the national income. It is depicted(C + S) curve.
The equilibrium level of income is Rs 300 crores, when the aggregate demand and aggregate
supply are equal at Rs 300 crores. Income is measured on the X-axis and aggregate demand
on the Y-axis. The AD and AS curves intersect each other at point ‘E’. It is the equilibrium
point and ‘OY’ is the equilibrium level of income.
`Page 62 of 88
TABLE Equilibrium by AD and AS Approach
Y C S I AD AS Tendency to output
0 100 -100 50 150 0 Increase (AD>AS)
100 150 -50 50 200 100 Increase (AD>AS)
200 200 0 50 250 200 Increase (AD>AS)

500 350 150 50 400 500 Decrease (AD<AS)
600 400 200 50 450 600 Decrease (AD<AS)
There are two other situations that may occur:
1. When AD > AS, i.e., (before point ‘E’).

• Planned level of expenditure is greater than what the firms are willing to produce (AS)
• As a result of this, planned inventory falls below the desired levels.
• Firms plan to increase production to bring back the inventory at the desired level.
• Firms would hire more workers. Thus employment rises, output rises and income rise.
• Income keeps on rising till AD = AS
2. When AD < AS, i.e., (after point ‘E’).
• It means that firms are willing to produce more than the planned level of expenditure.
• As a result planned inventory starts accumulating above the desired level.
• Firms plan to reduce the production to maintain the desired level of inventory.
• Firms lay off workers. Thus employment falls, output falls, income falls.
• Income continues to fall till AD = AS.
`Page 63 of 88
Determination of Income and Employment
Using the `saving and investment` approach explain how is the equilibrium level of national income
determined? Also explain what swill happen if the equilibrium condition is not fulfilled
According to the ‘Saving and Investment’ approach, the economy’s national income is in equilibrium when
Planned Saving = Planned Investment
In the diagram, curve S indicates the planned savings and curve I indicates planned investment. When
planned saving equates planned investment at point E, the economy is in equilibrium. At this point,
aggregate demand and aggregate supply of the economy are also equal.
If planned savings fall short of planned investment (before point ‘E’).

• Planned level of expenditure is greater than what the firms are willing to produce (AS)
• As a result of this, planned inventory falls below the desired levels.
• Firms plan to increase production to bring back the inventory at the desired level.
• Firms would hire more workers. Thus employment rises, output rises and income rise.
• Income keeps on rising till S = I
2. If planned savings are greater than planned investment (after point ‘E’).
• It means that firms are willing to produce more than the planned level of expenditure.
• As a result planned inventory starts accumulating above the desired level.
• Firms plan to reduce the production to maintain the desired level of inventory.
• Firms lay off workers. Thus employment falls, output falls, income falls.
• Income continues to fall till S = I

Measures to correct excess/deficit demand
Monetary policy: - refers to the policy through which the monetary authority expands or contracts the
money supply in the economy. In other words, it relates to changes in the rate of interest and the
availability of credit in the economy.
Monetary policy tools
1. Bank rate
2. Legal reserve ratio( CRR, SLR)
3. Margin requirement
4. Liquidity adjustment facility (Repo rate and Reverse Repo rate)
5. Open market operation
6. Credit rationing
7. Moral suasion
8. Bank Rate/Discount Rate: is the rate of interest at which central bank lends money to commercial
banks for longer period.
 During inflation/excess demand Increase in the bank rate will make the loans more expensive
for the commercial banks; thereby, pressurizing the banks to increase the rate of lending. The
public capacity to take credit at increased rates will be lower, leading to a fall in the volume of
credit demanded.
 During deflation /deficient demand The reverse happens in case of a decrease in the bank
rate. This increases the lending capacity of banks as well as increases public demand for credit
and hence will automatically lead to a rise in the volume of credit flowing in the economy.
9. Legal reserve ratio:- it includes:-
a. Cash reserve ratio: It is of certain ratio of commercial banks net demand deposits & times
liabilities which it has to keep with central bank RBI as cash
 During deflation /deficient demand, where the objective is to expand credit, the cash reserve
ratio is lowered by the central bank. This will increase cash availability with the commercial
banks and they can lend more and create more credit.
c. Statutory Liquidity Ratio: It is the ratio or percentage of net total demand & time liabilities of
commercial banks which they have to keep in form of liquid assets in government securities or
in securities approved by RBI.
 During deflation /deficient demand, where the objective is to expand credit, the cash
reserve ratio is lowered by the central bank. This will increase cash availability with the
commercial banks and they can lend more and create more credit.
10. Open market operations It refers to the buying and selling of government security by the Central
Bank from/to banks on its own account.
 During inflation.RBI sells securities

 Sale of government securities will reduce reserves.
 Bank gives RBI a cheque for the securities.
`Page 71 of 88
 This directly reduces bank’s ability to give credit.

 Therefore this decreases money supply in the economy.
 When RBI buys securities from banks

 RBI gives the bank a cheque drawn on itself in the payment for the securities.
 RBI increases reserves of the bank by the particular amount.
 This directly increases the bank’s ability to give credit.
 Thus money supply increases
11. Margin requirements: A margin is the difference between the amount of the loan and market value of
the security offered by the borrower against the loan. If the margin imposed by the Central Bank is 40%,
then the bank is allowed to give a loan only up to 60% of the value of the security. By altering the
margin requirements, the Central Bank can alter the amount of loans made against securities by the
banks
 During inflation/excess demand: - Central bank raises the margin requirement. When margin
requirements are raised, credit borrowed is discouraged. This results in downswings of
economic activity and thus, has a disinflationary impact
 During deflation /deficient demand: - Central bank reduces the margin requirement. When
margin requirements are reduced, credit borrowed is encouraged. This results in upswings of
economic activity and thus, has a inflationary impact
12. Liquidity adjustment faculty

1. Repo Rate: is the rate of interest at which central bank lends money to commercial banks for
short period.
 During inflation/excess demand
 Central Bank can reduce excess demand by raising the Repo Rate.
 Raising Repo Rate makes borrowings by commercial banks costlier. So these banks
are forced to raise their lending rates. Since borrowing becomes costly for people,
they borrow less. Banks therefore create less credit.
 During deflation /deficient demand
 Central Bank can increases excess demand by reducing the Repo Rate.
 When the rate is reduces, encourages the commercial banks to borrow funds from the
central bank.
 This increases lending capacity of the commercial banks. Lending by the commercial
banks to public increases leading to rise in aggregate demand.
2. Reverse Repo Rate: It is the exact opposite of repo. Reverse repo rate is the rate at which RBI
borrows money from banks for short period
 Central Bank can reduce excess demand by raising the Reverse Repo Rate.
 When the rate is raised, it encourages the commercial banks to park their funds with the
central bank.
 This reduces lending capacity of the commercial banks. Lending by the commercial banks to
public declines leading to fall in aggregate demand.
 Central Bank can increases excess demand by reducing the Reverse Repo Rate.
 When the rate is reduces, it discourages the commercial banks to park their funds with the
central bank.
This increases lending capacity of the commercial banks. Lending by the commercial banks
to public increases leading to rise in aggregate demand
`Page 72 of 88
13. Credit rationing;-Refers to the fixation of credit limits for different business activity or for a particular
business sector
 During inflation/excess demand:- Uses in a negative manner would mean using measures to
restrict the flow of credit to particular sectors
 During deflation /deficient demand:-Uses in a positive manner would mean using measures
to channel credit to particular sectors, usually the priority sectors.
14. Moral suasion: includes persuasion, request, advice and suggestion to the commercial banks by the
central bank of a country. Central bank clarify them the need for implementation of a particular
monetary policy and requests them to follow this policy during excess demand and deficient
demand.
Fiscal measures/policy: - it refers to the taxation and expenditure policy of the government
1. Government Expenditure:-Expenditure on construction of roads, public welfare, dams, bridges,

on education, defense
 During inflation/excess demand:- Reduce its expenditure plans Will result in reduction
in demand
 During deflation /deficient demand;- Expand its expenditure plans Will result in increase
in demand
2. Taxes:-Compulsory payment made to government by household and the business firms
 During inflation/excess demand:- Raises the rates of taxes which reduces the purchasing
power
 During deflation /deficient demand;- Decreases the rates of taxes which increase
the purchasing power
3. Public Borrowing Includes debts raised by the government from public

• During inflation/excess demand Increases public borrowing by increasing interest rates on
deposits Reduces liquidity with the public
• During deflation /deficient demand Decreases public borrowing by decreasing interest rates
on deposits Increases liquidity with the public
4. Deficit Financing Borrowing by the Government from the RBI. RBI Lends Money To Government By
Issuing More Currency

Working of Multiplier
• Multiplier measures the change in income as a result in change in investment

• Multiplier work on the basic logic
• Investment generates income
• Additional income increases consumption
• Consumption depends of MPC
• Additional consumption generates additional income to other people
• Thus income is generated in a multiple way
• Suppose with the initial investment of Rs 1000 Cr.

• And MPC = .5

Features of multiplier
• Is associated with the change in investment

• The size depends upon the size of MPC
• Work in both forward and backward directions
• Value varies from unity to infinity
 Direct relationship between multiplier and MPC/ If MPC is higher multiplier will be higher
 Inverse relationship between multiplier and MPS/ If MPS is higher multiplier will be low
Minimum and maximum value of the multiplier
 Value of multiplier depends on the value of MPC

 Minimum value of multiplier is 1 because minimum value of MPC can be zero
 Maximum value of multiplier can be infinity because maximum value of MPC is 1
Forward Working of Multiplier
 In investment is increased it will have positive effect on increase

Income in multiple ways
 Used at the time of deflation
When investment is raised AD shift to AD2. Known as
forward multiplier used to increase the aggregate demand.
And income level increases from 200 to 200
Backward Working of Multiplier
 If investment is reduced it will lower the income in a multiple way

 Used at the time of inflation
When investment is reduced AD shift to AD3. Known as backward multiplier used to

reduce the aggregate demand. And income level decreases
from 200 to 100

Que. In an economy the equilibrium level of income is Rs 12000 Crores. The ratio of MPC and MPS is 3 : 1.
Calculate. Additional investment needed to reach a new equilibrium level of income of Rs 20,000 Crores
Que. In an economy actual level of income is Rs 500 Crores whereas the full-employment level of income is Rs
800 Crores. The marginal propensity to consume is .75. Calculate The increase in investment required to
achieve the full-employment level of income.

GOVERNMENT BUDGET
Budget (meaning)
Defined as a financial statement of the government showing in details the estimated receipts and proposed
expenditures and payments under various heads for the coming year.
Objectives of govt budget(RIDE)
1. Reallocation of resources/Influencing allocation of resources.

 Through its budgetary policy, the government directs the allocation of resources in a manner
such that there is a balance between the goals of profit maximization and social welfare
 To encourage investment government can give tax concession, subsidies etc. to the producers. If
private sector does not take interest, government can directly undertake the production.
 Government can discourage the production of harmful goods like liquor or cigarettes, by
imposing heavy excise duties or taxes.
 Government encourages the production of certain commodities by giving subsidies or tax reliefs. For
e.g. government encourages the use of’ khadi products’ by providing subsidies
2. Income redistribution/Redistribution Activities
 Economic inequality is a natural part of every economic system. The government aims to reduce
such inequalities of income and wealth, through its budgetary policy.
 Progressive Taxation The Government can impose higher taxes on the rich people. In India
government uses progressive taxation i.e. people belonging to higher income levels have to pay
more proportion of their income as tax to the government. This reduces disposable income of the
rich and increases the disposable income of the poor.
 Public Distribution System In fact, those with very low incomes are exempted from the payment
of tax. Those who are absolutely poor are offered goods through PDS (public Distribution System)
at the subsidized rate
 Subsidies The Government can provide subsidies and other amenities to poor people. Expenditure
is incurred by the government on unemployment allowance, old age pension, social security etc to
help poor people.
3. Directs economic growth
 Economic Growth implies a sustainable increase in real GDP of an economy, i.e. an increase in
volume of goods and services produced in an economy. Budget can be an effective tool to ensure
the economic growth in a country.
 Government provides tax rebates and other incentives for productive ventures and projects; it
can stimulate savings and Investments in an economy.
 Spending on infrastructure of an economy enhances the production activity in different sectors
of an economy. Government expenditure is a major factor that generates demand for different
types of goods and services in an economy which induces growth in private sector too.
`Page 78 of 88
 However, before planning such expenditure, rebates and subsidies government should check the
rate of inflation and tax rates. Also there may be the risk of debt trap if loans are too high to finance
the expenditure.
4. Economic stability /Stabilizing Economic Activities
 Government budget is used to prevent business fluctuations and to maintain economic stability.
Economic stabilization means limiting the fluctuations in general price level in the economy
 During excess demand. The government imposes higher taxes and reduces its expenditure to
correct excess demand. This implies that government follows the policy of surplus budget during
inflation.
 During deficient demand, the government increases its expenditure and reduces taxes. This implies
that the government follows the policy of deficit budget during deflation. Thus the government
through its budgetary policy tries is achieve stability in the economy.
 When there is inflation, government can reduce its own expenditure. When there is deflation,
government can reduce taxes and give subsidies to encourage spending by the people

Deficit Budget
• Estimated Govt Receipts <Estimated Govt. Expenditure

Measures Of Government Deficits
• Revenue Deficit
• Fiscal Deficit
• Primary Deficit
Give meaning of revenue deficit, fiscal deficit and primary deficit.

Ans:
1. Revenue deficit: It is the excess of government revenue expenditure over the government
revenue receipts during a fiscal year / financial year.
 Revenue deficit = revenue expenditure – revenue receipts
`Page 82 of 88
2. Fiscal deficit: Fiscal Deficit refers to the excess of total expenditure over total receipts
excluding borrowings. It indicates borrowing requirements of the government.
 Fiscal deficit = Total budget expenditure - Total budget receipts excluding borrowings
3. Primary deficit: It is the difference between the fiscal deficit and interest payment during a fiscal
year. It indicates borrowing requirements of the govt. to meet fiscal deficit net of interest payments.
 Primary deficit = fiscal deficit – interest payment
“Fiscal deficit is necessarily inflationary in nature”. Do you agree? Support your answer with valid
reasons
The term fiscal deficit is the difference between the government's total expenditure and its total receipts
(excluding borrowing).
Such borrowings are generally financed by issuing new currency which may lead to inflation. However, if
the borrowings are for infrastructural development this may lead to capacity building and may not be
inflationary.
Numerical problems
Que 1.A government shows a primary deficit of Rs 5800 crores, expenditure on interest payment is Rs
600 crores. How much is the fiscal deficit.
Answer
Fiscal Deficit = Primary Deficit - Interest Payments
= 5800 + 600 = 6400
Que 2.In a government fiscal deficit is Rs 8000 crores and interest payment is Rs 600 Crores. How
much is the primary deficit.
Answer
Primary Deficit = Fiscal Deficit - Interest Payments
= 8000 - 600 = 7400
Que 3.Calculate fiscal deficit budget from the following data.
Total expenditure 85000
Revenue receipts 60000
Non debts capital receipts 5000
Answer
Fiscal Deficit = Total Receipts - Total expenditure

`Page 83 of 88
Non Debts Capital Receipts = 85000 - (60000 +5000) = 20000
Que 4.A government shows a primary deficit of Rs 4400 crores, expenditure on interest payment is Rs
400 Cr. how much is the fiscal deficit
Answer
Fiscal Deficit = Primary Deficit - Interest Payments
= 4400 + 400 = 4800
Que 5. Determine the following from the following: a) Revenue Deficit b) Fiscal Deficit c)
Primary Deficit. 3
a) Tax Revenue 470

b) Capital Receipts 340
c) Non Tax Revenue 100
d) Borrowing 320
e) Interest Payment 200
f) Revenue Expenditure 800
Answer. - Revenue deficit:- 230 -Fiscal deficit:- 320 -Primary deficit: - 120
Find (a) fiscal deficit and (b) primary deficit from the following:
Revenue expenditure = 70,000
Borrowings = 15,000
Revenue receipts = 50,000
Interest payments = 25% of revenue deficit. (4)
Answer
(a) Fiscal deficit = Borrowings = Rs.15000 crore.
(b) Primary deficit = Fiscal deficit – Interest payments
=15000 – 25% of (70000 – 50000)
=15000 – 25% of 20000 = 15000 – 5000 = Rs.10000 crore.

Current Account:
 Records inflow and outflow of foreign exchange relating to current transactions of goods and services
and unilateral services.
 Shows the net income generated in a foreign sector
Components of Current Account:
1. Visible: Refer to the merchandise/goods exported from or imported by a country. Exports which results
inflows for the country are placed on the credit side whereas Imports are placed on the debit side as
they result into outflow of foreign exchange from the country. Called balance of trade
2. Invisibles include services, transfers and flows of income that take place between different countries.
Services trade includes both factor and non-factor income. Factor income includes net international
earnings on factors of production (like labour, land and capital). Non-factor income is nets ale of service
products like shipping, banking, tourism, software services, etc.
3. Unilateral transfers/transfer payments: Those payments which are made without expecting anything
in return. Includes gifts, remittance and grants etc.

What is meant by Current Account Deficit (CAD) and Current Account Surplus (CAS)? State their
significance.,
Current Account Deficit (CAD) arises when the value of exports of goods and services is less than the value
of imports of goods and services.
Current Account Surplus (CAS) arises when the value of exports of goods and services is more than the
value of imports of goods and services.
CAD signifies that the nation is a borrower from rest of the world,
whereas, CAS signifies that the nation is a lender to the rest of the world.
Components of Balance of Payment Account (Capital Account)
`Page 86 of 88
Capital Account: The capital account of BOP records all such transactions between residents of a
country and the rest of the world which cause a change in the assets or liability status of residents of a
country or its government..
1. Investment
a. Foreign Direct Investment: It means purchasing an asset and at the same time acquiring
control of it. For example, acquisition of a firm in one country by a firm in another country.
Purchase of assets is a debit item on the capital account. If an Indian buys a UK Car
Company, it enters capital account transactions as a debit item (as foreign exchange is
flowing out of India).
b. Portfolio investment: It is also the acquisition of an asset but it does not give the purchaser
control over asset. Examples are: purchase of shares in a foreign country or purchase of
bonds issued by a foreign government.
2. Borrowing: It includes external borrowing from or to abroad also referred as commercial borrowings
3. External Assistance: refers to government Aid, Multilateral And Bilateral Loan at concessional rates
4. Official reserves transactions: - Taken by monetary authority in order to keep the balance of
payment balanced also called accommodating items in balance of payments Includes
a. Use of foreign exchange reserves
b. Borrowing from IMF
How would you treat the following: Current Account OR Capital Account. Give reasons for your
answer:
1. Investments to abroad.
2. Import of machinery.
3. Remittances from abroad.
Answer
1. Investment to abroad – Capital account as it increases asset position of a country. It is an outflow
of foreign exchanges therefore, a debit entry.
2. Import of machinery – Current account. It is a visible item and recorded as a ‘debit’ item since
it results in outflow of foreign exchange.
3. Transfer receipts – Current account:-It is recorded under unilateral transfers as a credit entry since
it results in inflow of foreign exchange.
Indian investors borrow from abroad. Answer the following :

(a) In which sub-account and on which side of the Balance of Payments Account will this borrowing
be recorded ? Give reason.
(b) Explain what is the impact of this borrowing on exchange rate.
Answer:-Borrowings from abroad are recorded in the capital account of the credit side Of B.O.P. because these
give rise to foreign exchange liabilities. These are recorded on the credit side because these bring foreign
exchange into the country.
(b) Borrowing from abroad raise supply of foreign exchange. Demand for foreign exchange
remaining unchanged, exchange rate is likely to fall.
In the context of balance of payments account, state whether the following statements are true or
false. Give reasons for your answer.
1. Profits received from investments abroad is recorded in capital account.
2. Import of machines is recorded in current account.
Ans
1. False, it is recorded in current account as it neither affects foreign exchange assets nor foreign
exchange liabilities.

Autonomous Receipts = Autonomous Receipts > Autonomous Receipts <
autonomous Payments autonomous Payments autonomous Payments
Explain the meaning of balance of payments deficit

A deficit in the BOP occurs when during the year the autonomous inflow of foreign exchange falls short of
autonomous outflow.i.e. Autonomous payments > Autonomous receipts
Suppose the autonomous inflow of foreign exchange during the year is $1000, while the total Outflow is
$1100. It means that there is a deficit of $100. To cover up this deficit the following Accommodating
transactions are undertaken.
1. Borrowing from IMF – RBI borrows from IMF which results in inflow of foreign exchange.
2. Depletion of foreign exchange reserves - Foreign exchange reserves are held by RBI in the form
of gold, foreign currency securities. Thus a deficit in BOP is balanced by borrowing and reduction
in foreign exchange reserves
`Page 88 of 88
What is meant by ‘official reserve transactions/autonomous transactions’? Discuss their importance

in Balance of Payments.
 Transactions done by monetary authority to balance the BOP is known as official transactions/
autonomous transactions’ Importance are:
 Autonomous receipts and autonomous payments give rise to either deficit or surplus on balance
of payments.
The central bank may finance a deficit by:
 Reducing reserves of foreign currency
 By borrowing from the IMF
 Selling its assets abroad
Note:-Reverse occurs in case of Surplus BOP
A BOP transaction independent of the state of BOP, i.e. undertaken on its own, is autonomous transaction.
A BOP transaction influenced by the state of BOP, i.e. by deficit or surplus is accommodating transaction.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE
Foreign exchange Foreign exchange refers to any currency other than the domestic currency.
`Page 89 of 88
foreign exchange rate Foreign exchange rate is that rate at which currency of one country is
exchanged with the currency of other country for example: 1 $ = 60 Rs
Types of Exchange rate systems

1. Fixed Exchange Rate System
2. Flexible Exchange Rate System
3. Managed Floating Rate System
Fixed exchange rate system rate of exchange as fixed by the government. There is no role of the market
forces i.e. demand and supply.
Flexible exchange rate system

1. Also called free rate of exchange as it is freely determined by the forces of supply and demand in
the international market
2. There is no intervention by the government or central bank of a country in foreign exchange

Managed floating? Why the managed floating is adopted by the central bank?
 Managed Floating: it is a system of floating exchange rate in which the central bank of a country
tries to manage by way of planned sale and the purchase of foreign currencies in the
international money market.
 This policy of interfere is adopted to stabilize the foreign exchange market.
 Central bank allows the foreign exchange rate to fluctuate within an upper and lower limit.
 If exchange rate rises beyond the limit then the central bank supplies the foreign currency and buys
it at the time when the value of foreign currency dips.
Appreciation And Depreciation

Currency Depreciation/ Rise in exchange Rate Currency Appreciation/ Fall in exchange Rate
Means Fall in the value of domestic currency in Rise in the value of domestic currency in terms of

Both Revaluation or Devaluation: decided by government (Fixed Exchange Rate System)
Que Explain how ‘Depreciation of currency’ promotes exports of a country?

Ans Means Fall in the value of domestic currency in terms of foreign currency. Any depreciation of home
currency results in increase in exports of the country since it increases the global competitiveness of the
goods ie foreign countries can purchase more quantity of goods and services with the same amount of
foreign currency from the domestic country. As a result exports of the domestic country rise.
Appreciation and Revaluation of currency are one and the same thing’. Do you agree?

Why is foreign exchange demanded/who demand foreign exchange

1. Speculative purposes:- . If Indians believe that US Dollar is going to increase in value relative to
the rupee, they will want to hold pound they start buying them and demand for foreign currency
increases
2. Portfolio Investment by Indian companies abroad: - The Indians firms and individuals who want
to buy bonds and equity shares of foreign firms will demand currency of that country
3. Interest Rate on foreign bonds:- when the interest rate on foreign govt. bonds than what
domestic rate of interest Indian investors transfer their money to abroad to get higher returns or
vice versa
4. Consumer Income in India – when the income of Indian people increases they buy more of
imported goods or vice versa
5. Expected Foreign Direct investment by India Abroad:- the Indian firms and individuals who
want to do business abroad like Tata motor acquires jaguar from England will demand British
PONDS
How is the rate of exchange determined by the market force of demand?

• There Is An Inverse Relationship Between Foreign
Exchange Rate And Demand For Foreign Exchange
• Higher The Foreign Exchange Rate The Lower The
Demand For Foreign Exchange i.e.
• If The Rupee Price Of Dollars Goes Up from (P to P1) Less
Dollars Would Be Demanded from(Q to Q1)
• If The Rupee Price Of Dollars fall from (P to P2) More Dollars
Would Be Demanded from(Q to Q2)
Explain the reason for inverse relationship between price of foreign currency & its demand.
Ans. There is an inverse relationship between price of a foreign currency & its demand. The reasons are
:
a. When foreign currency becomes cheaper we get more dollars per unit of our currency.
`Page 91 of 88
Accordingly imports become lucrative. This raises demand for foreign currency.
`Page 92 of 88
b. When foreign currency becomes cheaper and purchasing power of domestic currency increases
in the international money market, domestic investors will be induced to make greater investment
in rest of the world. Accordingly, demand for foreign currency rises.
c. When foreign currency becomes cheaper, Indians will find it less expensive to travel abroad.
Accordingly, demand for foreign currency will rise. The opposite will happen in case
foreign currency becomes expensive.
What are the major sources of supply of foreign exchange?

1. Speculation by foreign investors:- . If foreign believe that Indian Rupee is going to increase in
value relative to their domestic currency , they will want to hold Indian Rupee they start buying them
and demand for Indian currency increases and supply increases
2. Portfolio Investment by foreign companies in India- The foreign firms and individuals who
want to buy assets in India such as bonds and equity shares of Indian firms will also supply dollars
3. Interest Rate in foreign bonds when the interest rate on Indian govt bonds rises than what their
domestic rate of interest foreign investors transfer their money from abroad to India to get
higher returns or vice versa
4. Consumer Income of foreigners – when the income of foreign people increases they buy more of
Indian goods or vice versa
5. Expected Foreign Direct investment by foreigner in India - the foreign firms and individuals
who want to do business in India like NOKIA, LG, SONY. Such firms will also supply dollars.
How is the rate of exchange determined by the market force of supply?

Or
Why does a rise in foreign exchange rate cause a rise in its supply
• Supply curve of dollars has a direct relation to the price of
the dollars.
• If the rupee price of the dollar goes up, more dollars would be
supplied in the market
• If The Rupee Price Of Dollars fall from (P to P2) less Dollars
Would Be supplied from(Q to Q1)
• If The Rupee
Equilibrium Price Of Dollars Goes Up from (P to P1) More
exchange
Dollars Would Be supplied from(Q to Q2)
How foreign exchange rate are determined
Determination of foreign exchange Rate in the Free Market
Foreign exchange rate are determined where demand and supply of

foreign are equal
 The Demand curve (DD) is negatively sloped. If price of dollar is

very high then there will be less demand of dollar
 Supply curve (SS) is positively sloped. If the price of dollar will be
high then more dollar will be supplied
 Equilibrium will take place where demand and supply curves
intersect each other at point E

Visits to foreign countries for sightseeing etc by the people of India is on the rise. What will be its
likely impact on foreign exchange rate and how?
Answer
 If many Indians are going to visit foreign countries for sightseeing, it will result in more demand
of foreign exchange. If demand of foreign exchange rises/keeping supply as constant it will result
in scarcity of foreign exchange and the price of foreign exchange will rise.
 Thus, value of domestic currency will depreciate. This implies foreign exchange rate will increase
Explain the impact of rise in exchange rate/currency depreciation on national income.

Ans Rise in foreign exchange rate means depreciation in the value of domestic currency in relation to the
foreign currency, i.e. one unit of foreign currency can buy more goods and services from India. It makes
exports cheaper to foreign buyers and imports costlier to Indian buyers. As a result exports rise and
imports fall leading to rise in net exports. A rise in net exports may lead to rise in national income.
Distinguish between the fixed exchange rate and the floating exchange rate. If exchange rate falls,
explain its effects on exports and imports.
An exchange rate between the two currencies fixed at government level is called fixed exchange rate.
Whereas, an exchange rate determined by the forces of demand and supply in the foreign exchange market is
flexible exchange rate.
If exchange rate falls, foreign goods become cheaper. This raises imports.
If exchange rate falls, domestic goods becomes dearer to the foreign buyers. This reduces exports.
Que According to recent media reports:‘USA has accused China of currency devaluation to promote
its exports’. In the light of the given media report comment, how exports can be promoted through the
Currency devaluation?
Ans USA has a valid point of argument as devaluation of a currency encourages exports of a country. As
exported goods become cheaper in the international market giving a competitive edge for the goods of
domestic country (China). Devaluation of the value of domestic currency promotes the exports of the
country and may adversely impact the production and sale of importing country (USA).
