Role of the government budget infighting deflationary and inflationary situations:
During the deflationary situation, the government can take the following steps:
1. Deficit financing or borrowing by the government from the Central Bank against treasury bills. The Central Bank purchases treasury bills for cash, and the government uses these funds to finance the deficit. It increases the flow of money circulation in the economy. Therefore, there is an increase in demand for goods which leads to a rise in the general price level, while other things remain constant.
2. The tax burden is decreased to adjust the deficient demand and thereby the purchasing power of the people will increase.
3. Increase in public expenditure on infrastructural development improves the production efficiency of industries and increases employment opportunities and it encourages private enterprises by initialising state-owned financial and banking institutions to provide cheap credits. The aggregate demand increases with an increase in public expenditure.
During the inflationary situation, the government can take fiscal measures to reduce excess demand as follows:
i. Increase in taxes: The government levies new taxes and enhances the rate of prevailing ones. It will reduce the disposable income of people, and therefore, the aggregate demand is reduced.
ii. Surplus budget policy : The government’s expenditure should remain less than its income to control the excess demand.
iii. A decrease in public expenditure leads to a fall in aggregate demand. This, in turn, reduces the price level of goods in the market

Domestic currency depreciates when there is a rise in foreign exchange rate. The foreign countries can now purchase more quantity of goods and services from the same amount of foreign currency from the domestic country. As a result, exports will rise and imports will fall.

Elasticity on a straight line (linear) demand curve. Another method of measuring price elasticity of demand is geometric method which is used when elasticity is to be measured at different points on the straight line demand curve. This method involves the following steps as shown in the following Fig. 2.29.
(i) Straight line demand curve is first extended to both sides to join Y-axis at E and X-axis at D in Fig. 2.29.

Fig. 2.29
(ii) Take mid-point of straight line demand curve (say, point B) which divides the demand curve into two equal portions — upper portion (say, BE) and lower portion (say, BD). Point A is located in the upper portion and point C in the lower portion.
(iii) Elasticity at any point on straight line demand curve is worked out by dividing lower portion of the demand curve with upper portion of the demand curve. Thus:
because B is the mid-point.
(Alternatively elasticity of demand on the mid-point of a straight line moving from left to right is 1 or unit elastic.)

Price ceiling: Price ceiling means maximum price of a commodity that the seller can charge from the buyers the government fixes this price much below the equilibrium market price of a commodity. so that, it. becomes within the reach of the poorer sections of the society.
Price Floor: It means the minimum price fixed by the government for a commodity in the market. It seems paradoxical.
(i) Each firm employs labour up to the point where the marginal revenue product of labour equals the wage rate.
(ii) With supply curve remaining unchanged when demand curve shifts rightward (leftward). the equilibrium quantity increases (decreases) and equilibrium price increases with fixed number of firms.
(iii) With demand curve remaining unchanged when supply curve shifts rightward (leftward), the equilibrium quantity increases (decreases) and equilibrium price decrease (increases) with fixed number of firm.

According to this approach, the producer is in equilibrium when the Marginal Revenue (MR) is equal to the Marginal Cost (MC) and Marginal Cost curve cuts the Marginal Revenue curve from below. Two conditions under this approach are:
(i) MC = MR
(ii) MC curve should cut the MR curve from below.
MR is the addition to Total Revenue from the sale of one more unit of output and MC is the addition to Total Cost for increasing the production by one unit. The basic aim of every producer is to maximise the profit. For this, a firm compares its MR with its MC.
As long as the addition to revenue is greater than the addition to cost, it is profitable for a firm to continue producing more units of output.
In the above diagram, output is shown on the A-axis, revenue and cost on the 7-axis.
The Marginal curve, is ‘U’ shaped and p = MR= AR.
MC = MR at two points, R and K in the diagram but profits are maximised at point K, corresponding to OQ level of output. Between {{OQ}_{1}}, and OQ levels of output, MR exceeds MC. Therefore, firm will not stop at point R but will continue to take advantage of additional profit. Thus, equilibrium will be at point K where both the conditions are satisfied.
Two other situations may also exist:
(i) MR > MC At output level less than
OQ, MR > MC which implies that firm is earning profit on the last unit of output. The marginal profit provides an incentive to the firm to increase production and move towards OQ units of output. Therefore, when MR>MC, the firm increases output to maximise its profit.
(ii) MR < MC At output level more than
OQ, MR < MC which implies that firm is making a loss on its last unit of output. Hence, in order to maximise profit, a rational producer decreases output as long as MC > MR. Thus, the firm moves towards producing OQ units of output.
