1) What is Market?
(5)
As we know, market is a place where buyers and sellers meet each other to effect a business transaction.
We may find the markets located on a street, in a building where number of shops are established. Markets
could be local markets or international markets specialised for certain commodity, etc. This is traditional
view. However, according to the modern view: i) It is not necessary that the market for a commodity
should always be located on a particular street or in a building. ii) The buyers and sellers may be away
from each other and yet they may constitute a market over telephone or through internet. iii) When buyers
and sellers are in close contact with each other, the prices prevailing in different parts of a country would
tend to be equal.
2) State the factors that justify cost benefit analysis.
(5)
Cost benefit analysis is justified on the following grounds: Social costs and benefits: Even in the market
driven economy, the Govt. has to intervene, regulate and control the business activities. Intangible factors:
Sometimes factors such as prestige of the business firm, reputation, image etc. have to be taken into
consideration. Overall profitability: The rate of return to all investible funds rather than funds actually
invested would be a better guide. Certain uncertainty vs. Uncertain certainty: Investor would prefer an
uncertainty, which is estimable. Social Scale of Preferences: Business sector has to be careful about the
social fallout of their activities. National Industrial Policy: The policy lays down the set of economic
policies for the country. Pure Disposable value Unforeseen circumstances: Natural calamities demand
urgent steps to make good the losses. In such a scenario, a cost benefit analysis can be of great help.
3) Distinguish between fiscal policy and monetary policy.
(5)
Fiscal policy: _It refers to variations in taxation and public expenditure programmes of the Govt. _The
programmes are to achieve pre-determined objectives. _Taxation reduces private disposable income and
thereby private expenditure. Public _expenditure increases private income and thereby private
expenditure. _Tax revenue and public expenditure are two sides of Govt. budget and are known as fiscal
policy. _It is a powerful instrument of economic stabilisation. _It is prepared for every financial year.
Monetary policy _It refers to the programme of central bank of the country, i.e. RBI. _It entails bringing
about variations in the total supply of money and cost of money. _The policy aims at achieving economic
stability. _The measures used are quantitative methods such as open market operations, change in bank
rate, SLR/CRR and qualitative methods such as selective credit control and moral suasion. Half yearly
policies are further reviewed periodically
