Consumer : is an economic agent who consumes final goods and services
...

Marginal Utility : It is a net increase in total utility by consuming an
additional unit of a commodity
...
The Marginal utility derived from the last each
successive units goes on declining
...

Budget set : It is quantitative combination of those bundles which a
consumer can purchase his from given income at prevailing market prices
...

Budget Line : Shows those combinations of two goods which a consumer
can buy from limited income on same curve
...

Change in Budget Line : There can be parallel shift (leftwards or
rightwards) due to change in income of the consumer and change in price
of goods
...


MRS 

in the market at given price and in a given period of time
...

Change in Demand : When demand changes due to change in any one
of its determinants other than the price
...

Price Elasticity of Demand : Price Elasticity of Demand is a measurement
of change in quantity demanded in response to a change in price of the
commodity
...


15

this stage
...

Returns to a factor shows the changes in total products, of a good when
Class XII : Economics

26

only the quantity of one input is increased, while that of other inputs kept
content
...
According to this law, change in TP
and MP are classify into three shares
...

Phase II : TP increases at decreasing rate : As more and more
units of variable factors are employed with fixed factors then total
product increases at diminishing rate, MP decreases but is positive
...

Phase III : TP falls : As more and more units of variable factors
are employed with given fixed factors, total production starts
decreasing and marginal product becomes negative
...

Economic cost : Explicit cost + implicit cost + Normal Profit
...
It is also called explicit cost
...
Or estimated value of inputs supplied by owner itself
...

Total cost is the sum of total fixed cost and total variable cost
...
It is not zero even
at zero output level
...

TFC = TC – TVC or TFC = AFC × Q
Total variable cost is the cost which vary with the quantity of output
produced
...
TVC curve is parallel to TC curve
...
It is the sum of
average fixed cost and average variable cost
...


TFC
AFC = Q

or AFC = AC – AVC

Per unit of variable of production of a commodity is called average variable
cost
...
MC = TC/Q or MCn = TCn – TCn–1
...

MCn  TVCn – TCn–1 or MC 

Class XII : Economics

TVC
Q

Relation Between Short-Term Costs
Total cost curve and total variable cost curve remains parallel to each
other
...

TFC curve remains parallel to X-axis and TVC curve remains parallel to
TC curve
...
On contrary the vertical distance between
AC curve and AVC curve goes on decreasing but these two curves never
intersect because average fixed cost is never zero
...
After the point of intersection with
increase in output, AC curve and AVC curve starts rising
...
When these two costs are less than marginal cost, in that situation
both (AC and AVC) rise
...

Supply : Refers to the amount of the commodity that a firm or seller is
willing to offer or to sell at a certain price and in a given period of time
...

Market supply: It is the sum total of quantity supplied of a commodity by
all sellers or all firms in the market at a certain price and in a given period
of time
...

Supply Schedule : Refers to a tabular presentation which shows various
quantities of a commodity that a producer is willing to supply at different
prices, during a given period of time
...

Law of Supply : States the direct relationship between price and quantity
supplied, keeping other factors constant
...
It is always positive due to direct relationship between price
and quantity supplied

Induced consumption is the expenditure which is affected by change in income
...




Consumption function (propensity to consume) is of two types:
(a)
(b)



Average propensity to consume (APC)
Marginal propensity to consume (MPC)

Average propensity to Consume (APC) : It refers to the ratio of
consumption expenditure to the corresponding level of income

Explain how changes in prices of other products influence the supply of
a given product
...


The supply of a good is inversely influenced with the change in price of
other product which can explain as follows:
A
...
As a result the producer wil produce more
quantity of other product so the supply of given good will decrease
...


Fall in the Price of Other Product : When there is fall in the price
of other product the production of these product become less
profitable due to unchanged cost in comparison of the production
of given product

4

Explain the implication of ‘perfect knowledge about market’ perfect
competition
...


Perfect knowledge means that both buyers and sellers are fully inf about
the market price
...
As a result a to: price prevails in the
market
...
5

Why is the demand curve more elastic under monopolistic cotr than under
monopoly
...


The elasticity 6f demand is high when the product has close sr and that
elasticity of demand tends to be low when the product have close ,substitutes as we know in monopolistic competitic large number of close
substitutes as we know in mo competition there is large number of close
substitutes while in there is no close substitutes hence the demand curve
under m( competition is more elastic than under monopoly
...
6

Why is a firm under perfect competition a price taken v monopoly a price
market? Explain in brief
...


A firm under perfect competition a price taken by the following reasons:
1
...
Hence, market price
remains unaffected
...


Homogeneous Product : All firms in a perfectly competitive
industry produce homogeneous product
...


3
...
Hence a uniform price prevails in the market
...

2
...


There are no close substitutes of the monopoly product, hence the
demand is less elastic or ‘inelastic
...

Q

Hence
it has full control over supply

There is an ‘increase’ in demand for this
good
...
Use diagram
...


-

Since the consumers will not be able to buy all they want to buy at this
price, there will be competition among buyers leading rise in price

-

The quantity rises to OQ and price to OP2

Q
...
There is simultaneous ‘decrease’ both
in demand and supply of the good
...


139

Class XII : Economics

Ans
...


If the relative (percentage) decrease in demand is greater than the
decrease in supply, price will fall
...

...


3
...

The price will remain unchanged because there is neither excess
demand nor excess supply in the market

4

Explain why the equilibrium price of commodity is determined at that level
of output at which its demand equals its supply
...


Suppose demand is greater than supply
...
It
will have on upward influence on the price
...
It will go on till demand is equal to supply again
...
Since the sellers will not able to sell all what
they want, there will be competition among the sellers
...
As a result demand will start rising and
supply falling
...

Hence, the equilibrium price of a commodity is determined at that level of
output at which its demand equals its supply

Ans
...
The fall in market price
of domestic currency (due to demand supply in the market) in terms of a
foreign currency is called depreciation
...
15

When price of a foreign currency rises its supply also rises
...


If exchange rate increases, this will make domestic country’s goods cheaper
to foreigners
...
It implies more supply
of foreign exchange

Budget set consists of all the bundles of the goods which at given prices
cost less than or equal to the given income of the consumer
...


Receipts from sale of a good Or market value of the output produced is
called revenue
...


Returns to a factor refers to change in output when only one input is
changed, other inputs remaining unchanged
...


If in an oligopoly market firms produce homogeneous products, it is called
perfect oligopoly
...


For whom to produce means that who will buy the goods and services
produced
...
So, the
problem amounts to how the national income is distributed in an economy

It is because, even when output is increased TFC remains unchanged
...


When there are only a few firms in the market, it is likely that each firm
has some knowledge as to how its rivals operate
...
Therefore, each firm in deciding price and
output, takes into account the expected reactions by the rival firms

The consumer will not be in
equilibrium because per rupee MU of X is greater than per rupee MU of
Y
...
It will lead to fall in MUx and rise in MUy
...

Explanation:(1) Suppose

x

y

(2) Unless MY falls as more of a good is consumed the consumer will not
reach equilibrium
...
So, when PB falls,
demand for B rises
...


The effect of change in income of the consumer on demand of a good
depends upon whether the good is inferior or normal
...
If the good is inferior for the consumer, its demand
is likely to decrease with an increase in income
...


There are three phases of change in MP:
1
...
This
raises efficiency of the variable input
...


MP falls but is positive: Because beyond a point increasing
variable input puts, pressure on fixed inputs leading to decline in
efficiency
...


MP continuous to fall and is negative: Because there is so
much pressure of the variable input on the fixed inputs that total
product starts declining

The three properties are
(i)

IC slopes downwards from left to right
...


(ii)

IC to the right has higher utility
...

...


Slopes downward because to consume more of good X, the consumer
must give up some quantity of good Y so that the consumer remains
on the same level of satisfaction
