2013 - Dec [7] (a), (b), (c)(a) Demand Forecasting: Demand forecasting is the activity of estimating the quantity

of a product or service that consumers will purchase.Factors involved in Demand Forecasting:(i) Time factor: Demand forecasting may be short-term or long-term. A

short-term demand may cover a period of three months, six months or oneyear but not exceeding one year and long forecasting covers a periodexceeding 5 years.

(ii) Level factor: Demand forecasting may be undertaken at three different levels:(a) Macro level: It is concerned with business conditions over the whole

economy. (b) Industry level: This includes the preparations of sales forecasting by

different trade associations.(c) Firm level: It is an important matter from the managerial view point.

Individual firms forecast their sales.(iii) General or specific purpose factor: General forecast may be useful for the

firm but it also needs commodity forecasts and sales area forecasts (specificforecasts).

(iv) Product: Forecasting varies type of product i.e., new product or existingproduct or well established product.

(v) Nature of the product: Goods can be classified into capital goods andconsumer durable or non-durable goods and services. Demand for a productwill be mainly dependent on nature of the product. Forecasting methods for producer goods and consume/ goods will be differentaccordingly.

(vi) Competition: While making forecasting, market situation and the productposition in particular market should be analyzed.

(vii) Consumer Behavior: What people think about the future, their own personalprospects and about products and brands are vital factors for firm andindustry.

Then, Profit = R(x) -C(x) = x (1,100 - 1.5x) - x

= 1,100x - 1.5x2 - - 200x

= 900x - 1.5x2 - (Say P)

Marginal profit = = 900 - 3x-

Output required per month to make the MP = 0Hence,

Or, - - 3x - 900 = 0

- 3x2 - 30x + 9,000 = 0 x2 +10x - 3,000 = 0 X2 + 60x - 50x - 3,000 = 0

or, x(x+60) - 50(x+60) = 0or, (x-50) (x+60) = 0 Either x = 50 or x = -60[Since quantity/units cannot be negative value]Hence, The required output level = 50 (thousand) units.

(ii) Total Profit at output x= 50 (thousand) units.

- - 3x - 900 = 1,25,000 /10 - 3,750 + 45,000 = ` 28,750 thousands.

2013 - Dec [8] (a), (b), (c)(a) Main features of perfect competition market:

(1) Large number of buyers and sellers: Under perfectly competitive marketthere is large number of buyers and sellers. Each buyer and seller has noability to influence the ruling price by their independent action.

(2) Homogeneous Products: The products sold by the suppliers are fullyhomogeneous. The commodities available everywhere are the same.

(3) Uniform price: Price is uniform as the products in the market are identical.Price is fixed by all the buyers and sellers in the market.

(4) Free entry and free exit: Under perfect competition buyers and sellers areabsolutely free to enter and leave the market. No restriction is imposed ontheir entry and exit.

(5) Perfect knowledge about the market: Both buyers’ and-sellers must haveperfect knowledge about the conditions of the market. Sellers must know theruling market price charged by other sellers from the buyers. Similarly buyersknow the prices charged by different sellers.

(6) Perfect mobility: Various factors of production are perfectly mobile within theindustry. Factors of production can freely move from one occupation toanother and from one place to another.

(7) Absence of transport cost: Price being charged by the firms is free oftransportation cost. Price is not affected by the cost of transportation of goods.

(b) (i) Cost (c) = x2 + 780 x + 25,000

Demand (D), x = =

Or, 4x = 60,000 - PP = 60,000 - 4X

So total Revenue per x sets, R = 60,000 x - 4x2

Maximum Revenue is obtained at Marginal Cost = Marginal RevenueMR = dr/dx

= 60,000 - 8xMC (Marginal Cost) = dc / dx

= 2x + 780When, MC= MR

2x + 780= 60,000 - 8xor, 10x = 59,220or, x= 5,922 Sets

Hence, 5,922 sets to be produced per week at which the firm will get maximumnet revenue.

(ii) Monopoly Price = 60,000 - 4x = 60,000 - 4 × 5,922 = ` 36,312

3W2 = 1,200, => W2 = 400, => W= 20

Maximum Efficiency at w = 20Hence strength of workers = 20

2013 - Dec [9] (a), (b), (c)(a) (i) When the product is new but with a high degree of consumer acceptability, the

firm should decide its pricing strategy in favour of Skimming Pricing Strategy,i.e., an approach under which a producer sets a high price for a new high-endproduct or a uniquely differentiated technical product. Its objective is to obtainmaximum revenue from the market before substitutes products appear. Asthe demand for the new product is relatively inelastic the high prices will notstop the new consumers from demanding the product. If the life of the productpromises to be a short one, the management should fix high price so that itcan earn, as, much profit as possible and in as short a period as possible.

(ii) The product is already served in the market by well-known brands. AjantaFoot wear has to choose Penetration Pricing Strategy. Penetration pricing isthe practice of offering a low price for a new product or service during its initialoffering in order to attract customers away from competitors. The reasoningbehind this marketing strategy is that customers will buy and become awareof the new product due to its lower price in the marketplace relative to rivals.

(b) Given to assume closed economy, E = C+I+GGiven that, C=15 +0.9Y, I = 20+0.05Y and G = 25

ˆ E = 15 + 0.9Y +20 + 0.05Y + 25E = 60 + 0.95Y

For equilibrium values of Y,E = Y (Given) 60 + 0.95Y =Y

Or Y = 1,200For equilibrium values of C,

C = 15 + 0.9 Y,C = 15 + 0.9 x 1,200C = 1,095

For equilibrium values of I,I = 20 + 0.05 Y

(c) Revenue function, R=10Q

Cost function, C=20,000 +50

Profit (P)= R-C = 10Q -20,000 + 50 = 10Q -20,000 + 50 (profit

Profit (P) is maximum at Q = 64,000 UnitsHence, 64,000 to be sold to get maximum profit.

Maximum profit = 10 x 64,000 – 20,000 – 50
