Q5. – is excess of exports of goods over the import of goods

Ans. Net exports

OR

Q. Define investment

Ans. Investment is the process of addition to the capital stock leading to increase in capital assets

Q7. The value of multiplier is –
A. 1/MPC
B. 1/1+MPS
C. 1/MPS
D. 1/MPC-1
Ans. C

Q8. If MPC is greater than MPS, the value of the multiplier is –
A. Equal to 5
B. Greater than 2
C. Equal to 2
D. Less than 2
Ans. B
Explnation= Let MPC = 0.6 AND MPS= 0.4 then K= 1/MPS ,which is
equals to 2.5 hence the value of multiplier is greater than 2 when MPC
is greater than MPS

Q9. If MPC= MPS , the value of multiplier is –
Ans. 2
Explanation= MPC+MPS =1 , which is possible only when both MPC &
MPS are 0.5 , the value of multiplier will be 1/0.5 which is equals to 2

Q10. If MPC=1 , value of multiplier is ?
Ans. Infinity
Explanation : when MPC =1 multiplier will be 1/1-MPC = 1/0 which is
equal to infinity.

Q11. If MPC is greater than MPS , value of multiplier is ?
A. Equal to 5
B. Equal to 2
C. Less than 2
D. Greater than 2
Ans. D
Explanation: Let MPC be 0.6 & MPS be 0.4 value of multiplier will be
1/1-MPC which is equals to 1/0.4= 2.5

Q12.When the MPC is greater than MPS , value of investment
multiplier is greater than 5 . State whether it is True/False
Ans. False
Explanation: The value of multiplier is not greater than 5 ,let MPC be
0.6 & MPS be 0.4 value of multiplier will be 1/1-MPC which is equals to
1/0.4= 2.5

Q13. If MPC=0 , value of multiplier is –
Ans. 1
Explanation: When MPC=0 value of multiplier is 1/1-MPC which is
equals to 1/1.

Q14. State the maximum & minimum value of investment multiplier.
Ans. Maximum= Infinity
Minimum= 1

Q15. In what condition will there be equilibrium level of national
income?
Ans. Equilibrium level of national income will happen when AD=AS
corresponding to full employment level

Q16. MPS = 0.5 , find the value of multiplier
Ans. K= 1/MPS
= 1/0.5
= 10/5
= 2

Q17. AD can be increased by
A. Increasing repo rate
B. Increasing CRR
C. Decreasing bank rate
D. None of these
Ans. C

Q18. What do you mean by involuntary unemployment?
Ans. It is a situation when people are willing & able to work at existing
wage rates but yet they are not able to get work

OR

Q. Why full employment never means zero unemployment?
Ans. This is because there may always exist voluntary unemployment.

Q19. Define deflationary gap
Ans. The deficiency of AD below level that is required to maintain full
employment equilibrium in an economy is termed as deflationary gap.

OR

Define Inflationary gap
Ans. The excess of AD above level that is required to maintain full
employment equilibrium in an economy is termed as inflationary gap

Q21. Under short run equilibrium – factor remain constant
A. Raw material
B. Employment
C. Technology
D. All of these
Ans. C

Q22. When ……………….. flow of goods & services in the economy tends to exceed their demand because of which some of the goods remain unsold.

A. AS>AD

B. AS<AD

C. AS=AD

D. S=I

Ans. A

Q23. Which of the following is not correct?
A. APC+APS=1
B. MPC+MPS=1
C. Breakeven level is a income level where AD=AS
D. K=1/1-MPC
Ans. C

Q24. During deflation RBI decreases/increases CRR (Choose correct
alternative)
Ans. Decreases

OR

Q. MPC is – of consumption function
Ans. Slope

Q25. Which of the following is true about APC?
A. It can’t be negative & zero
B. APC=1
C. It can be greater than 1 & less than 1
D. All of the above
Ans. D

Q26.Which of the following is true about APS?
A. It can be negative
B. Not equals to 1 & not greater than 1
C. Can be less than 1 or can be 0
D. All of the above
Ans. D

Q27. Value of Money Multiplier
………………(increases/decreases/remains unchanged) with an increase
in Cash Reserve Ratio.
Ans. Decreases

Q28. Average Propensity to Consume can never be …………………………
(choose the correct alternative)
A. Positive
B. Zero
C. Less than 1
D. More than 1
Ans. B

Q29. In an economy, break-even point and equilibrium point may lie at
the same level of income, if ex-ante investments are …………………
Ans. 0
Explanation:- Break even point is a point where consumption is equal to
income or saving is 0
Equilibrium point : where ex ante investment are equal to ex ante savings
(S=I) , break even point and equilibrium point will lie at same level of income if ex ante investments are 0 , because equilibrium will struck only when S=I and break even point which says S=0 also lie on the same level so S=I=0 , hence the answer is 0
