IS-LM Problem

1. The following equations describe an economy: C = 10 + 0.5y I = 190 – 20r  Solution: IS curve describes the equation for product market equilibrium at various  combinations of level of income and rate of interest. Y = AD = C + I Y = 10 + 0.5Y + 190 – 20r Y – 0.5Y = 200 – 20r Y (1- 0.5) = 200 – 20r ½ Y = 200 – 20r Y = 400 – 40r. 2. The following equations describe an economy C = 100 + 0.75Yd I = 50 – 25r T = G = 50 Where C is aggregate consumption, Yd is disposable income, I is aggregate investment. T is taxes, G is government purchases and r is the rate of interest. Derive the IS curve for the economy. Solution: Y = C + I + G Now,  C = 100 + 0.75Yd = 100 + 0.75 (Y- T) = 100 + 0.75 (Y – 50)   I = 50 – 25r  G = T = 50 Hence, Y = C + I + G Y = 100 + 0.75 (Y – 50) + 50 – 25r + 50 Y = 200 + 0.75Y – 37.5 – 25r  Y – 0.75Y = 162.5 – 25r 0.25Y = 162.5 – 25r  Y = 650 – 100r 3. Given the following data about the monetary sector of the economy: Md = 0.4Y – 80r Ms

National Income Accounting

GDPMP= C + I + G     (MP=Market Price ) GNPMP = GDPMP + NFIA  NDPMP = GDPMP – D  NNPMP = GNPMP – D GDPFC = Domestic Factor Income + Consumption of Fixed Capital (FC=Factor Cost) GDPFC = GDPMP – IT + S GNPFC = GNPMP – IT + S GNPFC = Domestic Factor Income + NFIA + Consumption of fixed capital. NDPFC = NDPMP – IT + S NNPFC = NDPFC + NFIA NNPFC = Net Domestic Income + NFIA Personal Income = Private Income – Corporate Taxes – Corporate Savings Personal Disposable Income = Personal Income – (Direct Taxes + Fines, Fees, etc. + Social Security Contributions by Employees) Net National Disposable Income = National Income + Net Indirect Taxes + Net Capital Transfers from the rest of the World Personal Saving = Personal Disposable Income – Personal Consumption Expenditure Gross Domestic Saving = Personal Savings + Private Corporate Savings + Public Savings. PCI= National income (NNPfc)/Population GDP Deflator=Nominal GDP/REAL GDP *100

Industrial Policy

India has had 8 industrial policies since independence. Industrial policy of 1948  - It decided the model of the economic system of India i.e. mixed economy. It also put industries under Central and State List such as coal, power, railways were in Central List and paper, medicines, cycles were in State List. Industrial policy of 1956  - It started a classification of industries also called as Reservation of Industries. Schedule A had industries with centre's monopoly (which later became Public Sector Undertakings or PSUs). Schedule B had industries where States were to develop and the private sector was to expand the industry. Schedule C had all the industries left out of Schedules A and B. They were to be developed by the private sector. This was the beginning of the License Raj. Industrial policy of 1969  - It was mainly introduced to solve problems of the previous policy. It introduced MRTP (Monopolistic and Restrictive Trade Practices) Act, which was to check if any compa
