SUBJECT :- ECONOMICS
CLASSES :-XII COMMERCE
PRACTICE AND REVISION OF THE FOLLOWING CONTENTS
Micro Economics ; INTRODUCTION(CHAPTER -1)
1. What is Economics ;-Economics is a subject in which economic activities of the people are studied.
Economic activities refer s to those activities which involve the use of scarce resources for the satisfaction
of human wants directly or indirectly. Economics thus studies problem related to scarcity of resources.
-
2. Microeconomics and macroeconomics;-The subject matter of microeconomics is to study the behaviour
of individual decision making unit such as consumer and firms and producers. It is basically concerned with
the determination of price of goods and services.
3. Macroeconomics studies economic activities related to the economy as a whole. It is primarily
concerned with the determination of national income and the general price level.
4. Resources; resources refer to factors of production which help in the production of goods and services.
Examples; land labour capital and entrepreneur. Resources are scarce in view of their requirement.
5. Economy ; refer to the economic activity of a particular area or region
6. Central problem of an economy; Every economy faces some economic problem such as what to produce
,how to produce and for whom to produce These are called central problem.
What to produce; it mean selection of goods and services and their quantities to be produced.
How to produce ;it relate to problem of choice of technique of production of goods and services
For whom to produce ;-it refer to problem distribution of income and wealth.
7. Causes of central problem (1)wants are unlimited They are also different in priority .(2)resources are
scarce and (3)resources have alternative uses
8 .Oppurtunity cost; it refer to the value of a factor in its next best alternative use. Opportunity cost is
hence opportunity lost.
9. Production possibility curve; it refer to different combination of two goods that can be produced from a
given amount of resources PPC is based on the assumption that resources are fully and efficiently utilised
and (2) technique of production remain unchanged.
If resources are not fully and efficiently utilized ,total output in the economy will be less than the potential
output. Slope of PPC indicate the ease or difficulty in transforming one good into another good. So it is
known as transformation curve.
10. Shape of PPC (1)PPC is downward sloping implying that if an economy wants to produce more of one
good it has to forgo some output of other good. (2)PPC is concave to the origin . Concave shape of PPC
mean that MRT increases. Slope of PPC increases are not equally efficient in the production of both the
commodity.
11. Attainable and unattainable combination of output ;All the point that lie on or inside PPC are
attainable Point lying outside the PPC are unattainable combination of output.
12 .Marginal opportunity cost.; MOC is the rate of sacrifice at which production of one good can be
expanded.
13.Change or shift in PPC .;Shift in PPC indicate either an increase or decrease in production capacity of an
economy PPC shift outside due to technological progress or increase in supply of resources or both
available to an economy. It shift inward when there is technological degradation or decrease in resources
or both.
Consumer equilibrium
1 .Who is a consumer; consumer is a person who takes decision about what to consume and how much to
consume for the satisfaction of his wants.
2 .Consumers equilibrium; a consumer is said to be in equilibrium when he spend his given income such a
way that give him maximum satisfaction.
3 .Approach to consumer equilibrium; there are two approach for analysing consumer behaviour 1. Utility
approach and indifference curve approach.
4 .Ulility approach; this approach was given by Marshall According to this approach utility is cardinal that
is measured in number. Economist call it util. Utility is also cardinally measured in terms of money or say
price the consumer is willing to pay.
-
5 .There are two concept of utility (1) total utility and (2) marginal utility. TU; is the sum of utility that a
consumer obtain from the consumption of certain amount of commodity.MU it is the addition to total
utility when extra unit of commodity is consumed
6. Law of diminishing marginal utility; The law of DMU state that as more and more unit of a commodity
are consumed ,marginal utility of the commodity falls. It is a psychological law of consumption .Utility from
additional unit decline because the intensity of want decline.
7. Consumers equilibrium;(single commodity case. ) consumer is in equilibrium at that level of
consumption where marginal utility become equal to the price paid. That is MU=P. Since price is paid in
money ,MU is measured in money MU in money term can be measured by dividing MU of the commodity
by MU of money. MUx/MUm=Px Marginal utility must fall as consumption increases.
8.Under two commodity case; this approach was given by Hicks. According to this approach utility is
ordinal.That is utility can not be measured in
cardinal number such as 1,2,3,4, etc. I t can only be measured in ordinal number such as 1st, 2nd,3rd,4th
5th,etc. That is consumer can only rank his preferences .
9 .INDIFFERENCE CURVE ;it show different combination of two goods that provides the same level of
satisfaction to the consumer. The consumer preferences can be represented by family of indifference
curve known as indifferences maps Each curve represent different level of satisfaction.
10.Properties of indifference curve; an indifference curve always slopes downwards. 2.IC is convex to the
origin .3.higher IC represent higher level of satisfaction.
11.Marginal rate of substitution; MRS is the amount of good y that a consumer is willing to give up to
consume an additional unit of good x while keeping total utility unchanged. MRS=change in y/change in x.
12. Monotonic preferences; a consumer prefer more good to less good . Preference of this kind is known
as monotonic preferences.
13 Convex preferences; a consumer prefers all combination on his indifference curve equally. But when he
moves along IC . he substitute one good for the other at a diminishing rate. Preference of this kind is called
convex preferences.
14 .Budget line or budget set. ;Budget line show different possible combination of two goods which a
consumer can buy with his given income and price of the goods The consumer cannot afford to buy any
combination of two goods that lie outside his budget line. All combination that lie on or below the budget
line constitute the budget set.
15 .Properties of budget line; Budget line is downward sloping. Its slope is measured by the ratio of prices
of two goods..The price ratio is a measure of rate at which the consumer is able to substitute good x for
good y. The consumer can substitute good x for good y at the px/py.
The slope of the budget line constant as marker rate of exchange between the two good remain the same.
16. Market rate of exchange; I t is the rate at which the market require the sacrifice of one good to obtain
one extra unit of the another good.
17..Condition of equilibrium (IC APPROACH)Budget line should be tangent to the indifference curve. That is
MRS=PX/PY.
DEMAND
1 .Demand means the quantity of commodity that a consumer is willing to buy at a particular price during
a particular time period .It always implies desired quantity not actual demand.
2 .Demand function; The relation between consumers optimum choice and of the quantity of a good and
the determinant of demand. Is called demand function.
3. Individual demand and market demand;- Individual demand means quantity demanded of a good by
individual consumer at various price level. Market demand refer to total demand by all the consumer in
-
the market at different prices .Market demand curve is obtained by taking horizontal summation o
individual demand curve.
4 Determinant of demand;
Individual demand is determined by the following factors ; A .price of the commodity .B .price of related
goods. C. Income of the consumers D. taste and preference of the consumers.
A .When income rises demand for normal goods increases and demand for inferior good decreases.
B When price rises, demand for a good generally falls
C. When prise of a substitute goods falls the demand for the given good falls.
D. When price of complementary goods falls the demand for the given good rises.
E. Demand for a good also changes with change in taste and preferences of the consumer.
Besides these determinants, market demand also depends on the following factors.1. Population 2.
Distribution of income. 3. Season and weather.
5. Related goods and unrelated goods ; when demand for a good changes in response to change in the
price of other goods are said to be related. And when change in price of one good does not affect the
demand of other good goods are called unrelated .Related goods are of two types.1. substitute goods 2.
Complementary goods. 1. Substitute goods are those goods which can be used in place of each other with
equal satisfaction. Examples Pepsi and Coca- cola, tea and coffee.etc Complementary goods refer to
those goods which are used together to satisfy a particular want .Example are tea and sugar and milk
bread and butter.
6 .Normal goods inferior goods and Giffen goods . Normal goods are those goods whose demand rises with
increase in demand, decreases with fall in income of their buyer other thing remaining the same. Inferior
goods are those goods whose demand fall with rise in income and rise with fall in income of their buyer
.Other things being the same. Giffen goods are those goods which are most inferior, in case of such goods
income effect is negative and price effect is positive. So law of demand do not operate in this case.
7. Law of demand ;The law of demand state that other things being constant quantity demanded of a
commodity rises with fall in price and falls when price rises. Assumptions of the law;(1)taste and
preferences of the consumer should remain the same(2)income of the consumer remain the same. (3)No
change in price of related goods .(4)No expectation of further change in price of the commodity in near
future.
Causes of operation of law -1.law of diminishing marginal utility. 2. Income effect. 3.substitution effects
Exception; the law do not operate in case of 1.giffen goods 2. Goods of distinction 3.urgent demand.
8.Demand scheduled and demand curve.; demand scheduled is a table that show different quantity of
commodity that its buyer are willing to buy at different price at a point of time. Demand curve is a graphic
presentation of demand schedule.
9. Change in demand and change in quantity demanded; change in quantity demanded refer to increase
and decrease in quantity demanded of a commodity in response to decrease or increase in price other
thing remaining the same. Graphically it means movement along the demand curve. Change in demand
,on the other hand refer to increase or decrease in quantity demanded of a commodity in response to
change in other determinants of demand, other than price of commodity own price. It is expressed
through shift in demand curve (rightward or leftward.)
10. Expansion or contraction of demand; expansion of demand refer to rise in demand due to fall in the
prise of a commodity ,other things remaining the same. A downward movement along the demand curve
show expansion in demand. Contraction of demand refer to fall in demand due to rise in the price of a
commodity, other things, remaining the same. An upward movement show contraction in demand.
11. Causes of increase in demand; increase in demand means more demand at a given price. It may be
caused by any of the following factor; 1.increase in the income of the consumer. 2. Rise in the price of
-
substitute goods .3. fall in the price of complementary goods.4. change in the consumers taste in favour of
the good.
12. Causes of decrease in demand ; decrease in demand refer to less demand at given price. The causes of
decrease in demand are; 1.decrease in income of the consumer .2.fall in the prices of substitute goods
3.rise in the prise of complementary goods.4. unfavourable change in consumers taste towards the goods.
13. Income effect; income effect means change in quantity demanded of a commodity when real income
of the consumer changes as a result of change in the price of that particular commodity.
14. Substitution effect; it refer to change in quantity demanded of a commodity when relative price of the
commodity changes due to change in its price.. It implies that one commodity has become relatively
cheaper or costlier as compared to other substitute commodity.
15.Price effect; it refer to change in quantity demanded of a commodity due to change in its price.
ELASTICITY OF DEMAND
1. Price elasticity of demand; (ep); price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of demand of a
commodity to change in its price. It measures the percentage change in demand as per one percentage
change in price. It is independent of unit of measurement. It is popularly known as elasticity of demand.
2. Degree of elasticity of demand.;
A. When the demand for a good does not changes as a result of change in its price, the value of ep is zero.
Demand cure will be a straight line parallel to the y-axis.
B .When the demand for the good rises or fall without any change in its price, demand for the good is said
to be perfectly elastic. The value of ep is infinity. Demand curve in such case will be a horizontal line
parallel to the x-axis.
C .When change in the price of a good leads to less than proportionate change in demand ,demand is said
to be less elastic The value of ep 1.Demand curve in case of highly elastic demand is flatter and its slope
is inclined towards x-axis.
E. When percentage change in demand and percentage change in price are equal for a good, its demand is
said to be unitary elastic. The value of ep=1. In such a case demand curve ,is rectangular hyperbola.
3. Method of measurement ; there are three method of measurement of price elasticity of demand.(i)
percentage method (ii)total expenditure method (iii) geometric method.
Percentage method; ep=percentage change in quantity demanded/percentage change in price.
Total expenditure method; in this method ,price elasticity is measured by comparing total expenditure on
the commodity before or after the change in price. This method three possibilities.(i) if the total
expenditure varies inversely with the change in price , the demand is relatively elastic .
(ii) If the total expenditure on the commodity remain the same as before and after change in price, then
demand is said to be unitary elastic. (iii) if the total expenditure on the commodity increases with an
increase in its price and decreases with decrease in its price ,then the demand is said to be relative in-
elastic ep1 and at any point below
the middle point elasticity is
-
elasticity. (iii)Postponement of uses. (iv) Number of uses ; more the uses higher will be the elasticity..
(V)Proportion of income spent ; more the proportion of income spent higher will be the elasticity.(vi) price
level ;higher the price level more will be the elasticity.(vii) time period- longer the time period more the
elasticity.
PRODUCTION FUNCTION; /RETURN TO A FACTOR.
1. Production;- ;Production means transformation of inputs into output of goods.
2. Production function ;- it is an expression which states quantitative relation between change in inputs
and the resulting change in output of a goods. It is a purely a technical relation. QX=F(FI+F2+F3) Production
function include only technically efficient combination of input so that maximum output is obtained from a
given quantity of inputs.
3.Short and long run; short refers to a time period in which output can be increased only by increasing the
quantity of variable factors .However output can be increased only to the extent of production capacity of
fixed factors. In the short run some factor are fixed, while other are variable .
Long run refers to a time period in which output can be changed by changing all factors of production. In
the long run all factors are variable. Time period is long enough for the firm to effect change in input
according to changing condition.
4. Types of production function; (1) short run production function; It states quantitative relation between
input and output when only one input is variable and other inputs used are kept constant. In the SR some
factor are fixed. To simplify suppose there are only two factor labour (which are variable)and capital which
are fixed factor. Production function will be= QX=F(L,K).
Long run production function; states quantitative relation between inputs and output of a good when all
factors are variable and are changed simultaneously in the same proportion.
5. Fixed and variable factors; fixed factors are those factors used in production which do not change with
change in output of goods.(e.g. machines and building.) .Variable factors are on the other hand refer to
those factor used in production which changes with change in output. For example labour.
6. Concepts of production (i) Total product; it refer to the total output of goods produced by all the units
of the variable factors used in production with given amount of fixed factors. It is called total physical
product of the variable input. It is equal to sum of MPP. (ii) Average Product ; it is the amount of output
produced per unit of the variable input..It is calculated as; AP=TP/L. (III) Marginal output; MP is defined as
the change in the total product resulting from the employment of an additional unit of variable factor.
7. Return to a factor; Return to a factor mean change in the physical output of a good when only the
quantity of one variable factor is increased, keeping other input constant These are measured as addition
to total product when quantity of variable is increased. The behaviour of change in output is shown by the
law of variable proportion.
8. Law of variable proportion; the law of variable proportion states that as we increases the quantity of
variable input keeping all other input fixed in the beginning, the total product increases at increasing rate ,
then increases at decreasing rate and ultimately it start falling. According to the law , the change in TP and
MP are classified into three phases. ;Phase (i) TP increases at increasing rate, . MP. increases .(this phase is
known as increasing return to a factor) Phase (ii) TP increases at decreasing rate .MP deceases this phase is
known as diminishing return to a factor. Phase (iii) TP falls
MP become negative, this phase is known as negative return to a factor.. A profit maximising firm will
never employ an input at a level that its MP is negative.
9. Return to scale ; are measured as addition to TP when the quantity of all factor are increased in same
ratio.
10 .Causes of increasing return to a factor;
(i)Better utilization of fixed factor.
-
(ii) Division of labour increases the efficiency of the variable factors.
(iii) Better coordination between factors.
11. Causes of diminishing return to a factor.
(i) Inadequacy of the fixed factor relative to the quantity of variable factor.
(ii)Factors of production are imperfect substitutes of each other.
12. Causes of negative return to a factor.
(i ) Over crowding on the fixed factors.
(ii) Problem of management of workers.
13.Relation between TP and MP
(i)When TP rises at increasing rate MP RISES
(ii )When TP increases at decreasing rate MP falls , but remain positive.
(iii) When TP falls , MP falls but is negative.
14. Relation between AP and MP
(i) when MP>AP, AP rises.
(ii)when MP=AP, AP is constant.
(iii). When MP
-
TC is the sum of TFC and TVC. Since TFC remains constant at all level s of output. TC always exceed TVC
by the amount of TFC. Change in TC is entirely due to change in TVC. so as output increases TC increases by
the extent of increase in TVC.
7 .Average Cost ; There are three types of average costs in the short run.; average fixed cost ,average
variable cost and average total cost.(I) AFC ;it is the fixed cost per unit of output. As output increases AFC
falls because TFC is constant. AFC can never be zero. AFC curve is rectangular hyperbola. (ii) AVC ; it is the
variable cost per unit of output. As output increases AVC initially falls and then after a certain level of
output rises. This shape of AVC is governed by the law of variable proportion. (iii) ATC It is the total cost
per unit of output . As output increases initially ATC falls and then after a certain level of output start
rising. ATC is a vertical summation of AFC and AVC curves. ATC curve are U shaped. It is because of law
of variable proportion.
8 . Relation between ATC and AVC
As output increases, AFC must fall continuously. , Consequently AFC component of ATC goes on
declining. AVC component of ATC become larger as output is increased. Therefore, as output increases,
AVC come closer to ATC but never meet each other. The minimum point of the ATC curve lies to the right
of minimum point of the AVC
9 .Marginal Cost; it is the addition to the total cost of producing one more unit of output. The
sum of MCS equal the TVC. The MC curve cuts the AVC curve and ATC curve at their minimum point.
10 .Relation between MC and AC
(I) If MC is lower than AC , then AC falls.
(ii)If MC is equal to AC then AC is constant.
(III) If MC is greater than AC , then AC rises.
11. Concept of revenue;- Revenue means market value of output or money received by a firm from sale of
output of a good. There are three concept of costs;(i) Total revenue; it refer to total money received from
sale of output by a firm . It equals quantity of output sold multiplied by the market price. That is TR= Q X P.
(Ii) Average revenue; It refer to the revenue per unit of output sold. It equals TR divided by total output
sold. (iii) Marginal revenue; It is addition to total revenue from sale of an extra unit of output.
12. Profit; It is the difference between total cost of production and total revenue It is the income of
producer.
13. Relation between Output and revenue .
(a)When more sales are possible only at a lower prise.
(i) As price ( AR) decline MR also decline and remain below AR and TR rises.
(ii) When prise falls, MR become negative after a certain level of output and then, TR starts falling.
(iii ) When MR is zero TR become maximum.
(b) When more sale are possible at a given price.
(i) TR rises at a constant rate as price is constant.
(ii) AR (price ) is unchanged as output changes . AR curve is parallel to x- axis.
(iii) As output increases, there is no change in MR . MR equals AR at all level of output.
14. General relation between AR and MR.
(I)When MR.> AR, AR rises.
(ii) When MR= AR, AR is constant
(iii) When MR
-
2. Producers equilibrium; A producer is said to be in equilibrium when he produces an output level at
which his profit is maximum. Profit are maximum at that level of output where the difference between
total revenue and total cost is maximum. If there are losses, they are minimum in the state of
equilibrium. Thus in the state of equilibrium producer either earn maximum profit or incur minimum
losses.
3. Assumptions of producers equilibrium;
(i) Producer is rational. (ii) Producer employs least cost combination of input.
(iii) Only one product is produced. (iv) The supply of factors is perfectly elastic at current rate.
4. Equilibrium Condition:- There are two method to determine producers equilibrium
(i) TR-TC Approach:-A producer will be in equilibrium at that level of output where the difference between
TR-TC is maximum . If profit (TR- TC ) is maximum at more than one output level, the output level beyond
which profits starts declining is the equilibrium output
(ii). MR-MC Approach: Usually in microeconomics MR-MC Approach is used to determine the position of
producers equilibrium. The two conditions of producers equilibrium according to this approach are:
(MC=MR , and (ii) MC>MR after the MC=MR output.
5. Producers Equilibrium, when price falls as output increases: when more output can be sold only by
lowering the price then price(or AR) > MR. Because MC equals MR at equilibrium point, P(AR)>MR=MC at
equilibrium level of output.
6. Producers Equilibrium when price remain s constant: When price remain constant at all levels of output
then price (or AR) = MR . Since MC=MR at equilibrium point, price is equal to MC at equilibrium level of
output. That is, P=MC.
7. Normal profit and super normal profit: Normal profits are the minimum profit which a producer must
earn to stay in business. Otherwise he will shift to next best occupation. Thus , normal profit is the
opportunity cost of entrepreneur ship which is a part of total cost. Profits over and above the normal
profit are called super normal profit.
8. Short run equilibrium: In the short run neither new firm can enter the industry nor the existing firms can
leave the industry .This is because that time period required to enter or leave the industry is short.
Accordingly, the number of firms in the industry is fixed in the short period. In the short run,a firm may be
in equilibrium in the situation of super normal profit, super normal profit or losses .
( 9) . Long run equilibrium: In the long run, firms will only be earning normal profits. In a situation of super
normal profit (or super normal profit) firm will join the industry and consequently, market supply will
increase which will reduce the market price
The process of entry of new firms would continue till super normal profit is wiped out. In the situation of
losses, the existing firm start leaving the industry. As a result, market supply will fall leading to rise in price.
This process would continue till price rises to ensure normal profit.
10 .Break- even point: A firm break even when TR equals TC or AR equals AC. At this point, firm is earning
zero profit. That is the difference between RR and TC is zero at break- even point. The firm is just able to
cover all its cost and earns only normal profit.
11. Shut down point: A firm in the short run can bear losses. But there is a limit to bear this loss. Price
must at least cover the AVC. Here the firm incurs losses to the extent of TFC. When price is just covering
the AVC , it is called a shut down point . Firm will close down its business if price fall below the AVC. Thus
P=minimum AVC s is the shut down point in the short run . In the long run all cost are variable . So price
must cover at least the average cost Thus p=minimum LAC , is the shut down point.
Theory of supply
-
1 .Supply: Supply refers to the quantity of commodity which a producer is willing to bring to the market at
a particular price during a period of time. Price, quantity, period of time, and willingness to supply are the
four essentials of supply
2 .Supply and Stock : Supply is the desired quantity of sale at a given price and stock means actual supply
of a commodity which can be brought to the market for sale, at short notice.
3. Individual supply and market supply: Individual supply refers to supply of a commodity by an individual
firm in the market. Market supply refers to supply of a commodity by all the firms in the market.
4. Factors determining Supply: (1) price of the commodity (2) price of input,(3) prices of other commodity,
(4) state of technology,(5)number of firms ,(6) goal of the firms, (7)government policy.
5 Law of Supply; The law of supply states that quantity supplied of a good usually varies directly with its
price, assuming that all other factors determining supply remains the same. The law of supply , when
expressed in term of a curve ,means that the supply curve of a good is generally upward sloping.
6. Change in quantity supplied and change in supply: Change in quantity supplied of a good refers to
change in supply due to change in products own price. When supply of a good rises due to rise in price, it is
called expansion in supply and when supply falls due to fall in price, it is called contraction of supply.
Graphically, it implies movement along the supply curve. Change in supply of a good refers to the change
in supply due to factors other than products own price. If supply rises ,it is called increase in supply and
when it fall it is called decrease in supply Graphically change in supply is called shift of supply curve.
7 .Causes of increase in Supply: (i) improvement in technology, (ii) fall in the price of input, (iii) fall in the
price of other goods, (iv) lowering of tax on production, (v) expectation of fall in price in future.8. Causes of
decrease in supply: (i) use of outdated technology, (ii) increase in price of inputs, (iii) rise in the price of
other goods, (iv) higher tax on production, (v) expectation of rise in prise in future .
9. Meaning of elasticity of Supply: price elasticity of supply is a measure of degree of responsiveness of
change in supply of a good to change in its price. It measures the percentage change in quantity supplied
due to one percentage change in the price of that good.
10 Types of price elasticity of supply: On the basis of degree of responsiveness of the quantity supplied to
the price change, there are five types of elasticity of supply.
(i) When percentage change in quantity supplied is greater than the percentage change in price supply is
said to be elastic. In such a case es > 1.
(ii) When percentage change in quantity supplied is less than the percentage change in price, then supply
of such a commodity is called less elastic. In such a case, the value of elasticity is
-
1. Market: Market is a mechanism or an arrangement by which buyers and sellers of a commodity are
brought in close contact for the sale and purchase of the commodity. Producers and consumers carry out
their transactions for sale and purchase through the market.
2. Forms of market: There are four main forms of market; (i) perfect completion, (ii) monopoly, (iii)
monopolistic competition and (iv )oligopoly.
3. Perfect competition: perfect competition refers to a market situation where there are very large
number of buyers and sellers, selling homogeneous products at a market price. In a perfectly
Competitive market seller sells a homogeneous product at a uniform price. The price is not determined by
particular firm but by the industry (i e the buyers and sellers collectively).
Features
(i)The number of sellers and buyers is very large. It is so large that no individual buyer or seller can
influence the market price of the commodity.
Implication: No individual seller or buyer can influence the market price. Buyers and seller of the
product are just price takers. A competitive firm faces a perfectly elastic demand curve. Also buyers
have no bargaining power in the market.
(ii)All sellers (firms) sell homogeneous products. Product sold in the market are identical in all
respect.
Implication; this insures uniform price in the market.
(iii) The entry or exit of firms in the long run is free.
Implication; This feature ensure that firm earn only normal profit in the long run.
(iv) Buyers and sellers have perfect knowledge about the market.
Implication; Uniform price will prevail in the market.
(v) Factors of production are perfectly mobile.
(vi) Transport costs are zero.
Implication; transport cost do not affect market price.
4. Monopoly; monopoly is a market situation in which in which there is only one firm producing a
commodity. The commodity has no close substitute in the market. Railway is an example of
monopoly. The market price of the commodity depends on the quantity supplied by the monopoly
firm.
Features of monopoly.
There is only one seller of a product in the market who has full control over the supply and price of
the product.
Implication: firm is a price maker, it usually exploit the buyer by charging a high price of its
product.
.(ii) There are no close substitute of the product in the market.
Implication; Buyer have to purchase the commodity from the monopolist or go without it.
(iii) There are barrier to the entry of the new firm
Implications: Firm earn abnormal profit in the long run.
(iv) Firm has full control over price.
Implication: Firm is price maker.
Way of monopoly formation; there are several ways of monopoly formation .These include (a)licensing
(b)patent rights (c) formation of cartel.
5. Monopolistic Competition: Monopolistic market is a market situation in which there is competition in
the market along with some monopoly element. Products of different firms are not homogeneous but
differentiated.
Features
-
(i).There is a large number of buyer and sellers.
Implication: No individual seller can influence the market price, in a big way.
(ii) Production sold by different sellers are differentiated on account of different brand names, packing
colour, shape, customer services.
Implications; This feature makes monopolistic market different than perfect market. Firms are price
maker.
(iii) Firms are free to enter or leave the industry.
Implication; All firms earn only normal profit in the long run.
( iv) Buyers and sellers do not have complete knowledge about the market.
Implication; products sell at different prices in the market.
(v) Firm spend a lot of money to promote their sales.
Implication: Market demand of the product rises. Selling costs also tend to raise the costs.
6. Oligopoly: meaning: oligopoly is a market form characterised by a small number of large firms which are
mutually dependent on each other for taking price and output decision.
Classification: (i) perfect and imperfect oligopoly; If the firm produces homogeneous product, it is called
perfect oligopoly. Steel industry is an example. If the firm produces differentiated products, it is called
imperfect (differentiated) oligopoly. Automobile industry is an example.
Non-collusive and collusive oligopoly: If the firm compete with each other, it is called non collusive
industry. If the cooperate with each other rather than compete in setting the price and output, it is called
collusive oligopoly.
Features (i) Oligopoly is composed of few large firms. Implication: Action of each firm not only influence
itself but also other firm are affected by it. (ii) There is high degree interdependence among the firms.
Implication: This feature makes oligopoly different from other of market. Demand curve of the firm is
indeterminate. (iii) There are barrier to the entry of the firms. Implication: Due to entry barrier, the
number of firms in the industry remains small or limited.(iv) There exists non- price competition. Firm
normally are afraid of price-competition which may lead to price war. Product differentiation and
advertisement are two main forms of non price competition. Implication: Prices remain rigid in the
market. (V) Imperfect knowledge: Buyers and sellers do not have perfect knowledge about the market of
the product. Due to large amount of selling costs, consumers begin to know about some brands than
others .
Market Equilibrium
1. Market Equilibrium: Under perfect competition, market of a product is in equilibrium when market
demand and market supply are equal. Each firm is a price taker and industry is a price maker. Decision of
buyers and sellers are coordinated through price known as price-mechanism.
2. Equilibrium price: Is the price at which quantity demanded and of a product is equal to its quantity
supplied.
3. Equilibrium quantity: It refers to the quantity demanded and quantity supplied at equilibrium price.
4. Excess demand; It is situation in which quantity demanded is more than quantity supplied at the price
prevailing in the market. It leads to competition among the buyers. In the situation of excess demand,
price continues to rise till excess demand is wiped out.
5. Excess supply; It refers to the situation in which quantity supplied is more than quantity demanded at
the price prevailing in the market. It leads to competition among the sellers . The price continues to fall till
excess supply is wiped out.
6. Effect of change in demand on equilibrium price and quantity: Supply remaining unchanged, an increase
in demand raises the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity
-
A decrease in demand, on the other hand, leads to fall in both equilibrium price and quantity.
7. Effect of change in supply on equilibrium price and quantity: Demand remaining unchanged, when there
is increase in supply, equilibrium price falls and equilibrium quantity rises. On the other hand decrease in
supply leads to rise in equilibrium price and fall in equilibrium quantity.
8. Effect of change in ( both) demand and supply in same direction: (i) When increase in demand and
increase in supply are equal, equilibrium price remain the same, but equilibrium quantity rises.( ii) When
increase in demand is more than increase in supply, equilibrium price and quantity both rises.(iii) When
increase in demand is less than increase in supply, equilibrium price fall and equilibrium quantity rises. (iv)
When decrease in demand is more than decrease in supply, equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity
both fall. (v) When decrease in demand is less than decrease in supply, equilibrium price rises but
equilibrium quantity falls
9. Effect of change in demand and supply in reverse direction: (i) When increase in demand and decrease
in supply are equal, equilibrium price rises but equilibrium quantity remains the same. (ii) When increase
in demand is more than decrease in supply, equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity both rises. (iii)
When increase in demand is less than decrease in supply, equilibrium price rises and equilibrium quantity
falls (iv) When increase in demand and increase in supply are equal, equilibrium price falls but equilibrium
quantity remain the same. (v) When decrease in demand is more than increase in supply, equilibrium price
and equilibrium quantity both falls. (vi) When decrease in demand is less than increase in supply,
equilibrium price falls but equilibrium quantity rises.
10. Effect of change in income on equilibrium price: and E. quantity.(i) An increase in income of buyer of
normal good increases both the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity. A decrease in income on the
other hand, reduces both the E. price and E. quantity.(ii) An increase in income of the buyers of an inferior
good leads to left ward shift in demand curve. The new equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity both
falls. A decrease in income of the buyers leads to right ward shift in demand curve of inferior good. It
raises both equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity.
11. Effect of change in price of related goods on equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity of a given
good: (i) When price of substitute good increases, then demand for the given goods falls, the equilibrium
price and equilibrium quantity of the given good reduces (ii) When price of complementary good
increases, then demand for a given good decreases. As a result both equilibrium price and quantity will
fall. If price of complementary good decreases, demand for the given goods increases As a result
equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity will rise.
12. Effects on e. price and e. quantity when number of firms changes: Other factor remaining unchanged,
when number of firms in the market increases, then market supply of the product will increase. It will lead
to right ward shift in supply curve. In such a situation, e. price will fall but e. quantity will increase. If
number of firms, falls, there will be left ward shift in supply curve. As there is decrease in supply, e. price
will rise but e. quantity will fall.
13. Effect on e. price and e. quantity when price of input changes: -When price of inputs increases, other
factor remaining the same, then cost of production rises leading to leftward shift in supply curve. As supply
decreases, e. price will rise but e. quantity will fall. When prices of input decreases, there will be right
ward shift in supply curve. As a result e. price will fall but e. quantity will rise.
14. Effect on e. price and e. quantity when there is improvement in technology: Other factor remaining
constant, an improvement in technology leads to fall in cost of production. The supply curve shift right
ward, e. price will fall but e. quantity will rise..
15. Special cases of market equilibrium: (i) when supply is perfectly elastic, then change in demand
(increase or decrease) does not affect the e. price. But e. quantity rises in case of increase in demand and
decreases in case of decrease in demand.(ii) When supply is perfectly inelastic, any change in demand does
-
not affect the e. quantity, but e. price rises in case of increase in demand, and falls in case of decrease in
demand. (iii) When demand is perfectly elastic, then change in supply does not affect the equilibrium
price. But e. quantity rises in case of increase in supply and decreases in case of decrease in supply. (iv)
When demand is perfectly inelastic, then change in supply does not affect the equilibrium quantity. But e.
price falls in case of increase supply and rises in case of decrease in supply.
