(Q5) Increase in per capita real income means increase in per capita availability of goods and services. Does it necessarily mean rise in the welfare of the people of the country ? Give any one argument in support of your answer and explain the same.(3 marks)
Ans. Increase in per capita availability of goods and services does raise the standard of living and consequently welfare. But it may not necessarily always be so. For example, manufacturing etc. does raise output but at the same time also leads to water pollution and air pollution which reduces welfare of the people. Such a reduction in welfare may outweigh the increase in welfare and thus lead to overall reduction in welfare.
(Q6) During a given year nominal national income increased by 14 per cent while the real national income increased by only 6 per cent. Population increased by 2 per cent. What has caused the difference between nominal income and real income ? What is real per capital income? (3 marks)
Ans. Change in nominal income over a year is on account of
(a) change in quantity of goods and services and
(b) change in price level. However, change in real income refers to change in quantity of goods and services only. Therefore, a change of 14 percent in nominal income over the year is partly on account of 6 percent change in quantity of goods and services and the remaining 8 per cent must be on account of rise in general price level.
Real per capita income rise = Rise in real national income - Rise in population
= 6 - 2 = 4 per cent
