1In Samacheer Kalvi Class 12 Economics, macroeconomics is best defined as the study of:
A.Individual consumer preferences in a single market
B.The economy as a whole, including aggregates such as national income, employment, and the general price level
C.Cost curves of a single firm only
D.How one household allocates its weekly budget
Explanation: Macroeconomics studies aggregate economic phenomena—national income, employment, inflation, growth, and the overall price level—rather than individual markets or firms. Tamil Nadu Class 12 Economics opens with this distinction between micro (individual units) and macro (the economy as a whole).
2Which of the following is a stock variable rather than a flow variable?
A.National income during a financial year
B.Exports of goods in a quarter
C.Money supply measured on a particular date
D.Government consumption expenditure in a year
Explanation: Stock variables are measured at a point in time; flow variables are measured over a period. Money supply, capital stock, and wealth are stocks. National income, exports, and government spending are flows measured per year or quarter.
3Circular flow of income in a two-sector model involves which two sectors?
A.Government and foreign sector only
B.Households and firms
C.Central bank and commercial banks only
D.Agriculture and industry only
Explanation: In the simple two-sector closed economy without government or foreign trade, households supply factors to firms and spend on goods; firms hire factors and sell goods. Income and expenditure circulate between households and firms.
4Mixedism (mixed economy), as discussed in Tamil Nadu Class 12 Economics, refers to an economic system that:
A.Abolishes all private property
B.Combines features of capitalism and socialism with roles for both private and public sectors
C.Uses only barter and no money
D.Has no government involvement at all
Explanation: A mixed economy blends private enterprise (market incentives, profit motive) with public sector activity and social welfare goals. India is classically described as a mixed economy. Pure capitalism and pure socialism are extremes; mixedism occupies the middle ground.
5Which of the following is NOT typically listed as a central macroeconomic goal?
A.Full employment
B.Price stability
C.Maximising a single firm’s accounting profit
D.Economic growth
Explanation: Standard macroeconomic goals include full employment, price stability, economic growth, external balance, and equitable distribution. Maximising one firm’s profit is a microeconomic firm objective, not a national macro goal.
6Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measures the market value of:
A.All intermediate goods only, produced by domestic firms abroad
B.All final goods and services produced within the domestic territory in a given period
C.Only goods exported to other countries
D.Financial transfers such as pensions and scholarships only
Explanation: GDP is the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country’s domestic territory during a specified period, usually a year. Intermediate goods are excluded to avoid double counting; pure transfers are not production.
7If GDP at market price is ₹1,000 crore, net indirect taxes are ₹80 crore, and depreciation is ₹50 crore, what is NDP at factor cost?
A.₹1,130 crore
B.₹870 crore
C.₹950 crore
D.₹1,030 crore
Explanation: NDP at factor cost = GDP at market price − depreciation − net indirect taxes. So 1,000 − 50 − 80 = ₹870 crore. Net indirect taxes = indirect taxes − subsidies; subtracting them converts market price to factor cost.
8National Income in the conventional sense (NNP at factor cost) equals:
A.GDP at market price only
B.NNP at market price − net indirect taxes (or equivalently NDP_fc + NFIA)
C.Gross investment plus depreciation
D.Only personal disposable income of households
Explanation: National Income is NNP at factor cost. From NNP at market price, subtract net indirect taxes. Equivalently, NDP at factor cost plus Net Factor Income from Abroad (NFIA) yields NNP at factor cost.
9Which method of measuring national income sums wages, rent, interest, and profit?
A.Product (value-added) method only
B.Expenditure method only
C.Income method
D.Balance of payments method
Explanation: The income method adds factor incomes generated in production: compensation of employees, rent, interest, and profits (plus mixed income of self-employed as applicable). Product method uses value added; expenditure method uses C+I+G+(X−M).
10Real GDP differs from nominal GDP because real GDP:
A.Includes intermediate goods while nominal GDP does not
B.Is measured at constant (base-year) prices, removing pure price-change effects
C.Counts only government production
D.Always equals Gross National Product
Explanation: Nominal GDP values output at current prices; real GDP values the same quantities at constant base-year prices. Real GDP is therefore a better volume measure of production over time when prices change.
