Economies of Scale + +It means advantages of large scale production +which help in reducing the average cost of +production. + +|INTERNAL ECONOMIES | EXTERNAL ECONOMIES +|----------------------------|------------------------------------ +|***As a firm increases its scale of production, the firm enjoys several economies named as internal economies. Basically, internal economies are those which are special to each firm.***| ***External economies refer to all those benefits which accrue to all the firms operating in a given industry. Generally, these economies accrue due to the expansion of industry and other facilities expanded by the Government.***| +|1. *LABOUR ECONOMIES* : As the scale of production is expanded their accrue many labor economies, like new inventions, specialization, time saving production etc. A large firm employs large number of workers. Each worker is given the kind of job he is fit for. The HR manager evaluates the working efficiency of the labor if possible. Workers are skilled in their operations which save production, time and simultaneously encourage new ideas. |1. *ECONOMIES OF CONCENTRATION* : As the number of firms in an area increases each firm enjoys some benefits like transport and communication, availability of raw materials, research and invention etc. Further financial assistance from banks and non-bank institutions easily accrue to firm. Special economic zones (SEZ) and export processing zones (EPZ) are cases in point. +|2. *TECHNICAL ECONOMIES* : Technical economies have their influence on the size of the firm. Generally, these economies accrue to large firms which enjoy higher efficiency from capital goods or machinery. Bigger firms having more resources at their disposal are able to install the most suitable machinery. Mechanization and adoption of more advanced technology are easier for a larger firm. |2. *ECONOMIES OF INFORMATION* : When the number of firms in an industry expands they become mutually dependent on each other. In other words, they do not feel the need of independent research on individual basis. Many scientific and trade journals are published. These journals provide information to all the firms which relates to new markets, sources of raw materials, latest techniques of production etc. +|3. *MANAGERIAL ECONOMIES* : Managerial economies refer to production in managerial costs and proper management of large scale firm. Under this, work is divided and subdivided into different departments. Each department is headed by an expert who keeps a vigil on the minute details of his department. A small firm cannot afford this specialization. Experts are able to reduce the costs of production under their supervision. These also arise due to specialization of management and mechanization of managerial functions. |3. *ECONOMIES OF VERTICAL DISINTEGRATION* : As an industry develops, firms divide and specialize in different production processes. For example, in the moped industry, some firms focus on rims, hubs, chains, pedals, and tires. This specialization can be horizontal, where each firm focuses on one item, or vertical, where each firm specializes in different items. One firm's waste materials become raw materials for another, reducing production costs for both. Selling firms earn from their waste, while buying firms save on raw material costs, leading to a decrease in the average cost of production. +|4. *MARKETING ECONOMIES* : When the scale of production of a firm is increased, it enjoys numerous selling or marketing economies. In the marketing economies, we include advertisement economies, opening up of show rooms, appointment of sole distributors etc. Moreover, a large firm can conduct its own research to effect improvement in the quality of the product and to reduce the cost of production. The other economies of scale are advertising economies, economies from special arrangements with exclusive dealers. | +|5. *ECONOMIES FOR TRANSPORT AND STORAGE* : A firm producing on large scale enjoys the economies of transport and storage. A big firm can have its own means of transportation to carry finished as well as raw material from one place to another. Moreover, big firms also enjoy the economies of storage facilities. The big firm also has its own storage and go down facilities. Therefore, these firms can store their products when prices are unfavorable in the market. | + + +## 3.

If the firm cuts its price, others will +immediately follow suit to protect their own sales and the original firm will not gain more +sales.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE + +International trade is the exchange of goods +and services between countries. + +International trade is an exchange involving a +good or service conducted between at least +two different countries. + +### Advantages of International Trade +1. International trade enables countries to specialize in the production of those +commodities in which they have a comparative advantage. +2. It increases the size of a firm’s market, resulting in lower average costs and higher +productivity. +3. International competition promotes innovative production, new technology and +marketing. +4. Consumers benefit in the domestic economy as they can now obtain a greater variety +of goods and services. +5. The increased competition ensures commodities are supplied at the lowest prices. +6. It results in foreign exchange gains. When India sells its products abroad, it receives +foreign currency. This money is then used to pay for imports that are produced more +cheaply overseas. +7. Free trade creates new jobs in the domestic economy. Employment will increase in +exporting industries. +8. The countries involved in free trade experience rising living standards, increased real +incomes and higher rates of economic growth. This is created by more competitive +industries, increased productivity, efficiency and production levels +9. Greater access to imports will benefit consumers and businesses by widening the +choice of products available and boosting the living standards of the people. +10. Having a bigger market to sell to means that a business can sell more, earn more +profits and pay higher wages. Exporting businesses pay more to workers and sell +more per worker than non-exporters. +11. In the absence of trade, governments may distort market prices by subsidizing +production. In such cases, production and trade, guided by distorted prices, will not be +efficient. +12. One clear cost of protection is that the country imposing it forces its consumers to +forgo cheap imports. + +### Disadvantages of International Trade + +1. The main argument for protectionism is the infant industry argument. Industries in +developing countries can effectively compete with those already developed if they +receive some initial protection in the form of tariffs or subsidies. +2. Increased economic stability as economies do not become dependent on global +markets. This means that businesses are not vulnerable to downturns in the +economies of their trading partners, e.g. Recession in the USA leads to decreased +demand for India’s exports, leading to falling export incomes, lower GDP, lower +incomes, lower domestic demand, and rising unemployment. +3. Countries with surplus products may dump them on world markets at prices below +the cost of production. +4. Countries whose economies are largely agricultural face unfavourable terms of +trade. Their export income is much smaller than the import payments they make for +high value imports resulting in large foreign debt levels. +5. All round industrial development will occur in the country since it cannot depend on +foreign industries. +6. Free trade can lead to pollution and other environmental problems as companies fail +to include these costs in the price of goods while trying to compete with companies +operating under weaker environmental legislation in some countries. +7. If old traditional industries are not protected, foreign competition may ruin them and +create unemployment. +8. It is unwise to export all the natural resources of a country. For example, India has +exhausted its large supply of manganese and mica in the name of earning foreign +exchange. +9. Protective import duties are a way to generate tax revenue. +10. During times of global financial crises and recession, falling employment has often +resulted in an increase in protectionist policies in many countries. Governments in +the United States, Britain and other European countries have faced domestic +pressure to stop purchases from Chinese and Indian companies. + +## + +### THEORIES OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE + +**1. Adam Smith’s Theory of Absolute Advantage** + +- The concept of absolute advantage was +developed by Adam Smith in The Wealth of Nations +- Countries should specialize in producing the goods and services in which they have absolute advantage and engage in free trade with other countries to sell their goods. +- A country’s resources would therefore be utilized +in the best possible way—in the production of +goods and services in which the country has a +productivity advantage compared with other countries—and national wealth would be maximized. + + +**2. Comparative advantage theory of international trade** + +- Comparative cost advantage theory was developed by David Ricardo +- Even in the case of a country for which there is no absolute advantage for both the +commodities, it can gain from international trade. +- In this situation, the country should specialize in the production and export of the +commodity in which its absolute disadvantage is smaller and import the commodity in +which its absolute disadvantage is greater + + **Assumptions** + 1. There are only two countries and two commodities +2. There are no barriers in international trade +3. There is no transport cost +4. Labour is the only component of cost of production +5. There is perfect competition and full employment + +|COUNTRY|No.of units of labour per unit of cloth| No.of units of labour per unit of Wine|Exchange Ratio| +|-|-|-|-| +|England|100|120|1 wine = 1.2 cloth| +|Portugal| 90|808|1 wine = 0.88 cloth| + +- The above example shows portugal has an absolute advantage in the production of both +commodities +- Ratio of wine and cloth production shows that + - Portugal has advantage in wine, so it will specialise in wine production and produce wine + - England will similarly produce cloth + +Let’s look at a simplified hypothetical example to illustrate the subtle difference between +these principles. Miranda is a Wall Street lawyer who charges $500 per hour for her legal +services. It turns out that Miranda can also type faster than the administrative assistants in her +office, who are paid $40 per hour. Even though Miranda clearly has the absolute advantage in +both skill sets, should she do both jobs? No. For every hour Miranda decides to type instead of +do legal work, she would be giving up $460 in income. Her productivity and income will be +highest if she specializes in the higher-paid legal services and hires the most qualified +administrative assistant, who can type fast, although a little slower than Miranda. By having both +Miranda and her assistant concentrate on their respective tasks, their overall productivity as a +team is higher. This is a comparative advantage. A person or a country will specialize in doing +what they do relatively better. In reality, the world economy is more complex and consists of +more than two countries and products. Barriers to trade may exist, and goods must be +transported, stored, and distributed. However, this simplistic example demonstrates the basis of +the comparative advantage theory + +**3. Hekscher - Ohlin theory** + +- The theory was originally developed y Eli Heckscher in 1919. Later in 1935 it was refined by Bertil Ohlin. +Hence it is known as Heckscher – Ohlin Theorem. +- Heckscher – Ohlin Theorem states that a country will +produce and export that commodity whose production +requires the intensive use of nation’s relatively +abundant and cheap factor and import the commodity +whose production requires the intense use of relatively +scare and expensive factor. +- In other words, relatively labor abundant country will +export the relatively labor-intensive commodity and +import the relatively capital – intensive commodity. + +## 2. BALANCE OF PAYMENTS + +Balance of Payment is a systematic record of all economic transactions of a nation with the rest of the world for a specific period of tie. Usually, time period is taken as one year. + +It is obvious that during a period of time millions of transactions take place between one nation and with the rest of the world. Therefore, all these transactions cannot appear individually in the balance of payment statement. As a summary statement, BoP aggregates all these transactions under different heads. + +**1.

Finanacial Account** + +In the financial account, international monetary flows related to investment in +business, real estate, bonds, and stocks are documented. Also included are +government-owned assets such as foreign reserves, gold, special drawing rights held with +the International Monetary Fund, private assets held abroad, and direct foreign investment. +Assets owned by foreigners are also recorded in the financial account. + +**4. Official Reserve Account** + +It refers to the foreign currency held by the central bank of a country and is used to +balance the payments from year to year. + +**5. Errors and Omissions** + +Sometimes the balance of payments does not balance. It is due to errors that have +crept in during the compilation of the bop statement.

GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT** + +GDP is the total market value of all final goods and services produced within the +domestic territory of a country in a year. + + GDP = GNP – Net Factor Income From Abroad (NFIFA) + +## + +**3. NET NATIONAL PRODUCT** + +It is the market value of all final goods and services after allowing for depreciation. + + NNP = GNP - Depreciation + +NNP is also referred to as national income as market prices. + +NNP is a better than GNP since +it makes allowances for the depreciation of machinery, equipment, buildings and the like. + +## + +**4. DEPRECITION** + +Depreciation is the fall in the value of capital goods like machinery as a result of wear +and tear. It is an annual allowance for wear and tear of a capital good. It is the cost of the +good divided by number of years of its useful life. + +## + +**5. NET DOMESTIC PRODUCT** + + NDP = GDP - Depreciation + +## + +**6. NATIONAL INCOME** + +The entire NNP does not reach the people. The manufacturers have to pay indirect +taxes to the government. Thus, this part of total income will not be available to the people. + +The government may also give subsidies on the production of certain goods like kerosene and +ration rice. Hence, these goods are sold at lower prices since the government bears a part of +the price in the form of a subsidy for these products. + +Therefore, to arrive at the correct +estimate of National it is necessary to subtract indirect taxes and add subsidies to NNP. + +This is the actual national income of a country.

METHODS TO CONTROL INFLATION + +### 1. Monetary Policy Measures + +Monetary policy measures are strategies implemented by the central bank of a country (e.g., the Reserve Bank of India, RBI) to regulate credit and money supply in the economy. These measures can be categorized as follows: + +### a) Quantitative Credit Control Methods + +Quantitative control aims to regulate the overall volume of bank credit without considering the specific purposes for which the credit is used. Key measures include: + +#### i) Bank Rate + +The bank rate, also known as the discount rate, is the minimum rate at which the central bank provides loans to commercial banks by rediscounting bills of exchange. When the central bank raises the bank rate, commercial banks increase their lending rates, resulting in reduced borrowing and a decrease in the money supply. As of January 2022, the bank rate in India is 6.25%. + +#### ii) Reserve Ratio (CRR/SLR) + +Depending on economic conditions, the central bank adjusts the reserves that commercial banks must maintain. There are two types of reserve ratios: + +- **Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR):** Commercial banks are required to maintain an average cash balance with the RBI, which must be a certain percentage of their Net Demand and Time Liabilities (NDTL). An increase in the CRR leads to credit contraction, while a decrease leads to credit expansion, allowing banks to provide more loans. The CRR in India legally ranges from 3-15%, with the current rate at 4%. + +- **Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR):** This is the percentage of reserves that commercial banks in India must maintain in the form of gold and government-approved securities before extending credit. An increase in the SLR results in credit contraction, whereas a decrease allows for credit expansion. The legal SLR range is 20-40%, with the current rate at 18.00%. + +#### iii) Open Market Operations + +This involves the central bank's purchase and sale of securities. Selling securities contracts credit, while purchasing them expands credit. Two important rates in this context are: + +- **Repo Rate:** The rate at which the RBI lends money to banks for the short term. An increase in the repo rate contracts credit as banks borrow funds from the RBI at higher interest rates. + +- **Reverse Repo Rate:** The short-term borrowing rate at which the RBI borrows money from banks. An increase in the reverse repo rate also contracts credit as banks prefer to deposit their funds with the RBI to earn higher interest. The current repo rate is 4.00%, and the reverse repo rate is 3.35%. + +### 2. Fiscal Policy Measures + +Fiscal policy measures are actions taken by the government to control aggregate demand in the economy. The main instruments of fiscal policy include: + +### i) Public Revenue + +The primary source of public revenue is taxation. To reduce total spending during inflation, the government increases taxes. Higher direct taxes reduce people's disposable income, leading to lower spending. + +### ii) Public Expenditure + +During inflation, the government cuts down its expenditure on developmental activities and welfare programs, reducing both government demand for goods and services and private income. When the government spends less, individual incomes decrease, leading to a reduction in aggregate demand. + +### iii) Public Borrowing + +During inflation, the government delays the repayment of public debt and borrows more from the public to reduce the money supply in the economy. + +## 9. BUSINESS FINANCING + + +Business finance refers to funds availed by +business owners to meet their needs that +may include commencing a business, +obtaining top-up funds to finance business +operations, obtaining finance to purchase +capital assets for the business, or to deal with +a sudden cash crunch faced by the business. + +**Sources of Capital** + +1. Internal self – finance +2. Public Deposits +3. Loans from Bank +4. Indigenous Bankers +5. Development finance institutions + +### Bonds and Shares + +A bond is a fixed-income instrument that +represents a loan made by an investor to a +borrower (typically corporate or +governmental). + +A share represents a unit of equity ownership +in a company.
