Question 3 of 5
3. Question
Inflation may result from
- A reduction in the total productive capacity of the economy even as more and more people are employed
- Oversupply of goods in the economy
Select the correct answer code:
Correct
Solution: a)
In simple terms, inflation is basically too much money chasing too few goods, or excess demand chasing limited supply. In both these cases, the prices of goods rises faster as individual consumers bid process higher in order to get the good.
Excess supply is likely to bring prices down, not high.
If income rises faster, demand for goods and services will also rise. On the other hand, if the economy is unable to satisfy the increased demand, for e.g. due to poor infrastructure, lack of production etc, the higher income will spiral the prices upwards and lead to high inflation.
