Distinguish between a centrally planned economy and marked economy. |
| Answer» A centrally planned economy is an economic system in which the state or government makes economic decisions. Under a centrally planned economy, governments own all of the factors of production such as land, capital, and resources, and government officials determine when, where and how much is produced at any one time. This is also sometimes referred to as a "command economy."In a planned economy, the decision-making is centralized so the government controls all of the supply and sets all of the demand. Prices are set by government officials.Socialism and communism need a command economy to create a central plan that guides economic decisions.The examples of centrally planned economy are – China, North Korea, etc A market economy is a system where the laws of supply and demand direct the production of goods and services. Prices are fixed in a market economy on basis of the equilibrium of supply and demand.Consumer preferences and resource scarcity determine which goods are produced and in what quantity; the prices in a market economy act as signals to producers and consumers who use these price signals to help make decisions. Governments play a minor role in the direction of economic activity.A free market economy is an economy which the government plays a small role in.The two fundamental features of market economics are:1. Private ownership of the means of production2. Voluntary exchanges / contractsThe perfect example for market economy is United States of America. | |

Briefly explain the balance of trade. |
|
Answer» Balance of trade is the difference between the value of exports and value of imports of goods of a country in a given period of time. Export of goods is entered as a credit item in balance of trade. Import of goods is entered as a debit item in balance of trade. It is also called as trade balance. Balance of trade is said to be in balance when exports of goods are equal to the imports of goods, i.e. balanced balance of trade. Surplus balance of trade arises if country’s exports of goods are more than its imports. Deficit balance of trade arises if a country’s imports of goods are more than its exports. Balance of trade is narrow concept and it may not show the international economic position of an economy. It gives partial picture of international transactions and it is less reliable. It does not include net invisibles, i.e. the difference between the value of exports and value of imports of invisibles (services) of a country in a given period of time. |

Explain the examples of planned accumulation and decumulation of inventories. |
|
Answer» Inventories are the unsold goods, unused raw materials or semifinished goods which a firm carries from a year to the next year. Change in inventories may be planned or unplanned. A planned change in inventories is the change in the stock of inventories which has occurred in a planned way. The planned accumulation and decumulation of inventories are explained with example as follows. Suppose a firm wants to increase the inventories from 200 Tshirts to 400 T-shirts during the year. Expecting sales of 2000 Tshirts during the year, the firm produces 2000 + 200 = 2200 Tshirts. If the sales are actually 2000 T-shirts, the firm ends up with a rise of inventories. The new stock of inventories is 400 T-shirts, which was planned by the firm. This is planned accumulation of inventories. On the other hand, if the firm had wanted to reduce the inventories from 200 to 50, then it would produce 2000 – 150 = 1850 T-shirts. This is because it plans to sell 150 T-shirts out of the inventory of 200 T-shirts it started with. Then the inventory at the end of the year becomes 200 – 150 = 50 T-shirts, which the firm wants. If the sales turn out to be 2000 T-shirts as expected by the firm, the firm will be left with the planned reduced inventory (decumulation) of 50 T-shirts. These are the two instances of planned accumulation and planned decumulation of inventories. |

Find the sum of the series 1 + 4 + 9 +16 + 25 + 36 +......+ 121 ?1. 5062. 5233. 5254. None of these |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 506 Concept:
Calculation: Here we have to find the sum of the series 1 + 4 + 9 +16 + 25 + 36 +......+ 121 The given series can be re-written as: 12 + 22 + 32 + ..... + 112 As we know that, 12 + 22 + 32 + ..... + n2 = \(\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}\) Here, n = 11 ⇒ 12 + 22 + 32 + ..... + 112 = \(\frac{11 \times 12 \times 23}{6} = 506\) Hence, option 1 is the correct answer. |
