Land utilisation

  LAND UTILIZATION  Land is a scarce resource, whose supply is fixed for all practical purposes. At the same time, the demand for land for various competing purposes is continuously increasing with the increase in human population and economic growth.Land use pattern at any given time is determined by several factors including size of human and livestock population, the demand pattern, the technology in use, the cultural traditions, the location and capability of land, institutional factors like ownership pattern and rights scale regulation. Major Types of Land Utilization in India : As in all other countries, land in India is put to various uses. The utilization of land depends upon physical factors like topography, soil and climate as well as upon human factors such as the density of population, duration of occupation of the area,land tenure and technical levels of the people.There are spatial and temporal difference in land utilization due to the continued interplay of phys...

Law of equimarginal utility

Law of equimarginal utility

Introduction : In cardinal utility analysis, consumer's equilibrium is given by law of equimarginal utility.It was given by H.H Hossen ,an Austrian economist .It came to be known as Gossen's second law. It was great law of substitution also .                                                         

Statement : This principle states that to get maximum utility from expenditure of limited income ,the consumer purchases such amount of each commodity that last unit of money spent on each of them affords him the same level of satisfaction or same marginal utility. 

Meaning : The consumer is faced with a choice among different commodities out of his limited income where he would get maximum satisfaction only if he allocates his income on purchase of combinations of such commodities which will give him equal level of satisfaction.  

Assumptions :

a) The marginal utility of Different  commodities are independent of each other and diminish with more and more purchases.                                                                

b) The consumer has limited amount to spend.  

c)The utility is cardinally measurable .       

d)The MU of money remains constant.       

e)The utility of different goods are independent i.e neither complementary nor substitute of each other.                     

Explanation with the help of table.                     

Units of money       MU (apples)    MU(oranges)             

1.                             20.                    16.                         

2.                             18.                    14.                         

3.                             16.                    12.                         

4.                             14.                    10.                         

5.                             12.                      8.                         

6.                             10.                      6.                         

7.                               8.                      4.                         

8.                               6.                      2.                                                                                                    

Here, suppose consumer has 8 rupees which he wants to spend on apples and oranges so that he obtains maximum utility.He starts consuming rupees 1 on apples because it gives him 20 units of satisfaction which is highest compared to oranges.The 2nd ripped is also spend on apples as next highest satisfaction is given by apples i.e 18.The 3rd ruppe is spent on  Banana like wise 4th on apples again (3rd unit of rupees is spent on Banana because 12 is set as constant marginal utility of money) .The consumer will goes on spending rupee by rupee till he spends his 8 units of rupees with him.                                                                      With the income of eight rupees and given prices of apples and bananas, the consumer is in equilibrium by purchasing combination of 3 bananas and 5 apples ,because he is obtaining total utility thereby.

Role of capitalism

ROLE OF CAPITALISM IN DEVELOPING ECONOMY Capitalism is that part of the economics where there is no role of government agencies. The sole supe power of capitalism is in the hands of private owners.

Role of private firms. Role of price mechanisms. Advantages Encourages innovation Efficient firm incentives Consumers can choose services of their choice. Prevents government from interrupting. Creates climate of innovation and economic expansion. Helps in increasing GDP. Disadvantages Firms can gain monopoly power. Externalities damages the environment. Prone to boom and bust in the economic cycles. Inequality creates social division. Capitalist market crashes causes economic downturn , uneven business cycles. There is difficulty in mobilising unprofitable sector into profitable sectors. By taking advantage of poo...

Tokenization

Tokenization  Tokenization is the process of turning sensitive data into non-sensitive data called "tokens" that can be used in a database or internal system without bringing it into scope.  •It can be used to secure sensitive data by replacing the original data with an unrelated value of the same length and format.  •The tokens are then sent to an organization’s internal systems for use, and the original data is stored in a secure token vault. •The purpose of tokenization is to swap out sensitive data—typically payment card or bank account numbers—with a randomized number in the same format but with no intrinsic value of its own. •Tokenization is the process of removing sensitive data from your business systems by replacing it with an undecipherable token and storing the original data in a secure cloud data vault.  Token will be unique for a combination of card, token requestor (i.e. the entity which accepts request from the customer for tokenisation of a card and p...

Investment Multiplier

INVESTMENT MULTIPLIER The number of times by which the increase in ∆Y exceeds the increase in investment is called as Investment Multiplier.  Investment Multiplier or output multiplier refers to the number of times by which the increase in output/income ∆Y exceeds the increase in investment ∆I. It is measures as the ratio between change in output /income and change in investment.                                      k = ∆Y / ∆I Where k is the multiplier. Relationship between Multiplier and Marginal propensity to consume (MPC) There is direct relationship between Multiplier and MPC . Higher the value of MPC ,higher the multiplier .                   K =1 / 1- MpC This is because of the given reasons : a)Additional investment means additional expenditure in the economy, additional expenditure means additional income . b) Higher the value of MPC ,...
