    Theory of Demand and Supply

    • Demand: A consumer's desire to buy goods and services and their willingness to pay a price.
    • Law of Demand: A negative relationship between the price and quantity demanded (other things being equal). As price falls, quantity demanded rises, and vice versa.
    • Assumptions of the Law of Demand: Other factors affecting demand (income, preferences, related goods prices, etc.) are held constant.
    • Exceptions to the Law of Demand: Giffen goods (inferior goods where demand increases as price increases), snob appeal goods (price is a factor in attraction), and speculation.
    • Law of Supply: The direct relationship between the price of a commodity and the quantity supplied (other things being equal). As price rises, quantity supplied rises, and vice versa.
    • Assumptions of the Law of Supply: Other factors affecting supply(cost of production, technology, etc.) are held constant.
    • Exceptions to the Law of Supply: Sudden scarcity or other factors that could affect the supply of a commodity.

    Elasticity of Demand

    • Price Elasticity of Demand: The responsiveness of quantity demanded to a change in price.
    • Types of Price Elasticity: Perfectly elastic, perfectly inelastic, relatively elastic, relatively inelastic, and unitary.
    • Factors affecting Price Elasticity of Demand: Price level, availability of substitutes, necessities vs. comforts/luxuries, various uses of a commodity, postponing consumption.

    Elasticity of Supply

    • Price Elasticity of Supply: The responsiveness of quantity supplied to a change in price.
    • Types of Price Elasticity of Supply: Perfectly inelastic supply, relatively inelastic supply, unitary elastic supply, and relatively elastic supply.
    • Factors influencing Elasticity of Supply: Price of the good, probability of future price changes, cost of production, nature of the good, length of time.

    Forms of Market Competition

    • Perfect Competition: A large number of buyers and sellers, homogenous products, free entry and exit.
    • Monopolistic Competition: A large number of buyers and sellers, differentiated products, relatively free entry and exit.
    • Oligopoly: A few large sellers, interdependence among firms, significant barriers to entry.
    • Monopoly: One large seller, significant barriers to entry, price-setting power.

    National Income Accounting

    • Methods to measure National Income: Product (value-added) method, Income method, Expenditure method.
    • The Product Method involves calculating the net value added by each enterprise.
    • The Income Method focuses on the income received by factors of production (wages, rent, interest, and profit).
    • The Expenditure Method sums up all spending on final goods and services.

    Indian Union Budget

    • Types of Government Funds: Consolidated Fund, Contingency Fund, Public Account.
    • Key Components: Annual Financial Statement, Demand for Grants, Finance Bill, Appropriation Bill.
    • Revenue Budget: Revenue receipts, Revenue expenditure
    • Capital Budget: Capital receipts, Capital expenditure
    • Fiscal Deficit: Difference between total expenditures and total receipts of the government.
