Question : 1

Speculative demand for cash is determined by

a) the general price level

b) the market conditions

c) the level of income

d) The rate of interest

Answer: (d)

Speculative demand is the demand for financial assets, such as securities, money or foreign currency that is not dictated by real transactions such as trade, or financing.

The assets demand for money is inversely related to the market interest rate. This is because, at a lower interest rate, more people will expect a rise in interest rate (or a fall in bond prices).

a) demand creates its own supply

b) supply is greater than demand

c) supply creates its own demand

d) supply is not equal to demand

Answer: (c)

Say’s law, or the law of the market is an economic principle of classical economics named after the French businessman and economist Jean-Baptiste Say (1767–1832), who stated that “supply creates its own demand”. “Supply creates its own demand” is the formulation of Say’s law by John Maynard Keynes.

The rejection of this doctrine is a central component of The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money (1936) and a central tenet of Keynesian economics.

b) When such increase is the result of increased production of intoxicants

c) When such increase is the result of an increase in agricultural production

d) When such increase is the result of an increased production of comforts

Answer: (b)

An increase in per capita income due to increased production of intoxicants cannot be taken as economic welfare as it defeats the very notion of welfare.

Factors used to measure the economic welfare of a population, include:

  1. GDP,
  2. Literacy,
  3. Access to health care, and
  4. Assessments of environmental quality.

The marginal efficiency of capital (MEC) is that rate of discount which would equate the price of a fixed capital asset with its present discounted value of expected income.
