Q.1. In Dementia, it was estimated that a change in the real rate of interest
results in a change in income after a lag of one year. It was found that a
departure of income from the equilibrium level of income caused a
change in the rate of inflation after a lag of one year. Dr. Lousy
Econometriks estimated the relationship between output and inflation
and the relationship between the rate on interest and the level of output

terms; i the nominal interest rate at which the government
borrows; T the
revenue of the government in nominal terms and AB the governmental

borrowing. Public Debt is denoted by B in nominal terms. The public debt


to GDP ratio is given by b = B/PY, where P is the price level and Y is the
real income, so that PY is nominal GDP.
[12

Q.3. Open market operations of the Central Bank increase the non-borrowed
reserves (NBR) of the banking system. It has been seen that a part of this
increased reserve is added to the excess reserves of banks and only the
rest used to give increased loans and advances. It is also seen that the
call loan market rates have a tendency to fall. How does this come about?
[12]
Q.4. A comparison of the middle class societies of the USA and Europe on the
one hand and India on the other shows that young persons typically
leave their parental home and set up their own establishments to a much
greater extent in the USA and Europe than is the case in India. Middle
class young persons in the USA and Europe have a higher expenditure to
income ratio in the starting years of their working life than those in India.
Indeed the young middle class persons in the USA and Europe dissave
rather than save out of their incomes and borrow to do so, while in India
these persons do some saving. In Europe, these persons do not save at
all, whereas in America, some small savings are seen, but the saving is at
a much smaller rate as compared to the case in India In the middle
years of their working life however the behaviour changes. The Americans
and Europeans save a greater part of their now higher incomes than do
the Indians. The Americans and the Europeans use these savings to
repay their debt and build up assets for their retirement, while the
Indians need to save only for their retirement. The result of these diverse
behaviour is that in America and Europe, the stream of consumption is
even and does not change much wiuh the leveci of current income, in
fairly
India the stream of consumption tends to vary with the level of income.
There is howevCr 0ne dilicrencC n the arrangement between Europe and
America, In Europe, the Welfarc benciits that a person gets are not only
much more than in America if a person were to lose a job, but that there
are programmes EuTOpe, which retrain pcople for new jobs and place
in

them in these jobs as well. Similarly health benefits in the case of illness
are better in Europe as
compared to the USA. What is the explanation
if
any for this observed consumption behaviour in Europe, USA and India?

[12]
Q.5. Dealcrs in the forcign cxchange markcts

quickly to
any information
new which may affect the rates of exchange
especially in a fundamental way. Exporters and importers too get the
same information, butin their case, it takes time to enter into new
contracts to export and import as well as to make arrangements to
produce the goods and market them. Hence changes in exports and
imports take time and are slower. Under these conditions what will be
the impact of changes in monetary policy on the exchange rates
immediately, and after a lapse of time? You may assume that the
Marshall-Lerner conditions are met.
[12]
Q.6. How far do the problems in raising finance; the existence of fixed costs
and sunk costs along with uncertainty and the gradual availability of
information explain why the flow of investment is not smooth as
predicted by Tobin's q theory of Investment? You may take the average Q
as the ratio of the market value of a firm to its replacement cost and
marginal q as the ratio of the addition to a firm's market value to
acquisition cost of additional capital. The derivation of q is not required.

Two dolls are called "Ann" and "Andy." They require 0.10 and 0.20 kg of
materials, respectively, at a materials cost of T0.75 for Ann and 1.10 for
Andy. One computer-controlled assembly line makes all dolls. When a
production run of a different doll is started, a setup procedure is required
to reprogram the computers and make other
changes in the process.
Normally, 550 Ann dolls are produced per setup, but for Andy dolls, only
110 are produced per setup. Products are packed and shipped separately
so a request from a customer for, say, three different products is
considered three different orders. Suppdse the gift shop at the Munich
