Ques. 1. Inflation is a global Phenomenon which is associated with high price causes decline in the value for money. It exists when the amount of money in the country is in excess of the physical volume of goods and services. Explain the reasons for this monetary phenomenon.

Answer. INFLATION:- The rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services is rising, and, subsequently, purchasing power is falling. Central banks attempt to stop severe inflation, along with severe deflation, in an attempt to keep the excessive growth of prices to a minimum.
A chief measure of price inflation is the inflation rate, the annualized percentage change in a general price index (normally the consumer price index) over time.
Inflation affects an economy in various ways, both positive and negative. Negative effects of inflation include an increase in the opportunity cost of holding money, uncertainty over future inflation which may discourage investment and savings, and if inflation were rapid enough, shortages of goods as consumers begin hoarding out of concern that prices will increase in the future. Positive effects include ensuring that central banks can adjust real interest rates (to mitigate recessions),[5] and encouraging investment in non-monetary capital projects.
CAUSES OF INFLATION:-
1. Cost-push inflation occurs when businesses respond to rising production costs, by raising prices in order to maintain their profit margins. Higher costs shift a firms supply curve upwards and lead to an

    Inflation can be caused by an increase in aggregate demand, Aggregate demand is the demand for the gross domestic product (GDP) of a country, and is represented by the formula: Aggregate Demand (AD) = C + I + G + (X-M). An increase in aggregate demand can be caused by many factors such as a decrease in income tax which in turn increase the amount of disposable income people have, which therefore increase consumer spending, higher wages would have the same effect of increasing consumer spending. Also if there were low interest rates then consumers would be less likely to save and more likely to spend which again would increase consumer spending. An increase in the budget deficit would increase government spending which would again increase AD, as well as this if there is a ‘depreciation of the pound sterling’ then there would be an increase in export as there would be cheaper, however there would be a decrease in imports as they would be more expensive therefore increase AD.…

    Inflation is the rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services is rising, and subsequently, purchasing power is falling. Inflation is measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the Retail Price Index (RPI).

    Many of us have heard our grandparents talk about the “good old days” when you could buy ice cream for a nickel or a movie ticket for a quarter, as opposed to now where a simple small ice cream cup is usually equivalent to about three dollars. Inflation is directly responsible for these rises in price. Today consumer price inflation is averaging at…….Theories for the cause of our countries inflation range between three theories that the demand for goods and services exceeds exsisting supplies, so prices skyrocket. Also, it is also believed through the cost-push theory that when producers raise prices in order to meet increased costs inflation also occurs. In addition, inflation occurs when there is too much money in the economy at once. High inflation has numerous negative effects on the economy. For example, it can virtually erode purchasing power. In an inflationary economy, a dollar cannot buy the same amount of goods as it did in the past, as I stated previously in my ice cream example. Inflation also can deteriorate…

    In Germany in January 1921, a daily newspaper cost 0.30 marks. Less than two years later, in November 1922, the same newspaper cost 70,000,000 marks. All other prices in the economy rose by similar amounts. This occurrence is one of history’s most spectacular examples of inflation, an increase in the overall level of prices in the economy (Principles of Economics, N.Gregory Mankiw, Chapter 1, p.13). When prices go up, the cost of money decreases and your purchasing power consequently goes down. For example, with 3% inflation, the price of a $100 T-shirt today would be 103$ next year. In short-term, inflation may seem not worth mentioning; however, in long-term it will lower the standard of living. According to the example above, with just 3% inflation annually, in 20 years you will need a whole of $180 to buy the same T-shirt. That means over that time, if your income cannot follow the price, you may be at risk of financial problem.…
