Ques.4 Market Economies promote distribution even when resources are optimally utilized?
Substantiate this observation.

days during a year. How would it impact the actual and potential level of output in the
Economy?
Ques.6 "Make in India" Campaign would shift the PCC to the right.
Ques.7 As a consumer, would you equate price of a commodity with total utility or marginal utility?

Ques.10 How would you as a consumer change your consumption basket when the rate at which you

you to do it?
Ques.11 Utility analysis studies consumer's equilibrium on the assumption on that utility cannot be
expressed in terms of unit like 2, 4, and 6. Indifference curve analysis, on other hand, assumes
that utility cannot be expressed in terms of units; it can at best be compared. Does it mean that
consumer equilibrium (in terms of consumption of goods X & Y) should be different using
different assumptions?
Ques.12 Certain goods are demanded even when there price is zero. Does it mean that we are
demanding even those goods which are not scarce?
