Question # 3:
Historically the directors of Zed Bank have resisted change, seeking to offer a traditional
approach to its customers. However, recent problems within the banking industry and an
increasingly competitive market have forced the Board to consider a number of important
initiatives, including:
Enhancing its current services to customers by providing them with on•line
internet and telephone banking services; and
Reducing costs by closing many of its rural and smaller branches (outlets).
In an attempt to pacify the employee representatives (the Banking Trade Union) and to reduce
expected protests by the communities affected by branch closure, a senior Bank spokesperson
has announced that the changes will be ‘incremental’ in nature. In particular, she has stressed
that:
the change will be implemented over a lengthy time period
there will be no compulsory redundancies
Banking staff ready to take on new roles and opportunities in the online
operations will be retrained and offered generous relocation expenses.
For customers, the Bank has promised that automatic cash dispensing machines will be
available in all the localities where branches (outlets) close. Customers will also be provided
with the software needed for Internet banking and other assistance necessary to give them
quick and easy access to banking services.
The leader of the Banking Trade Union is ‘appalled’ at the initiatives announced. He has
argued that the so-called ‘incremental’ change is in fact the start of a ‘transformational’
change that will have serious repercussions, not only for the Union's members but also for
many of the Bank's customers.
Required:
Distinguish incremental change from transformational change. Explain why the Bank
spokesperson and the trade union leader disagree over their description of the change. (06)

ABC Limited has shown poor performance during the preceding five years in spite of
the fact that the company owns substantial physical assets, including modern machinery for
manufacturing of a wide range of products. All the assets of the company are in good

However, the company’s organizational structure has been designed inappropriately
and therefore has serious shortcomings and weaknesses which create impediments in its
operations and are responsible for the company’s unsatisfactory performance.
Required:

because of its inappropriately designed organizational structure. (05)
(The End)
Mid Term Suggested Solution
1) Monitor: Because he is sensing competitive market. He is trying to find out the different
prices of products being offered by other competitors in the market so that he can
recommend a pricing strategy to his top management.
4) Leader: Because he is responsible for the work of subordinates, motivating and encouraging
employees, exercising formal authority.
5) External liaison: Because he is making contacts outside the vertical chain of command
including peers in other companies or departments, and government and trade organization
representatives.
1) Corporate infrastructure: This relates to the organization structure and its management
systems, including planning and finance management, quality management and
information systems management.
2) Outbound logistics: These are activities concerned with the storage of finished goods
before sale, and the distribution and delivery of goods (or services) to the customers. For
services, outbound logistics relate to the delivery of a service at the customer’s own
premises.
3) Purchasing: These are activities concerned with buying the resources for the entity –
materials, plant, equipment and other assets. Successful buying often means lower
purchase costs, or achieving a secure source of supply for key materials or components.
4) Human resources management: These are the activities concerned with recruiting,
training, developing and rewarding people in the organization.
5) Technology development: These are activities related to any development in the
technological systems of the entity, such as product design (research and development)
and IT systems.
6) Services: These are all the activities that occur after the point of sale, such as installation,
warranties, repairs and maintenance, and providing training to the employees of
customers
Ans.3
Incremental change means step by step changes over time, in small steps. When incremental
change occurs within an organization, it is possible for the organization to adapt to the change
without having to alter its culture or structures significantly. Employees are able to adapt to
the gradual changes, and are not unsettled by them.
In contrast, transformational change is a sweeping change that has immediate and widespread
effects. The effect of transformational change is usually to alter the structure and culture of the
organization, often with major staff redundancies and the recruitment of new staff with new
skills.
The spokesperson for the bank has argued that the change will be incremental. Since the
change will take place over a long period of time, staff will have time to adapt to the new
structure. There will be no compulsory redundancies and staff will be retrained in new skills.
Although some branches will close others will remain open, and customers will be offered
additional facilities through online banking.
The trade union leader believes that the change will be much more dramatic. He might believe
that many employees will leave the bank because they are unable to adapt to the new service,
or because they are unwilling to relocate from the branches that are closed down. The bank
might push through the branch closure programme more quickly than it has currently
proposed, and staff redundancies could be made compulsory if there are not enough
individuals willing to take voluntary redundancy.
Essentially, the two individuals take differing viewpoints because they are looking at change
differently. The spokesperson for the bank wants to persuade employees to accept the change,
and even welcome it. The trade union representative wants to warn employees about the
potential consequences, and has therefore stressed the risks.
Ans.4
1) Collectivism
2) Individualism
3) Long-term orientation
4) High uncertainty avoidance
5) Femininity
6) Masculinity
7) High power distance
8) Low-uncertainty avoidance
Ans.6
1. Conflicts and lack of coordination: Lack of clarity of goals and individuals
working at cross-purposes give rise to conflicts and a non-conducive team
environment resulting in poor coordination between the planning and actual
operational levels.
2. Delays and inappropriate decisions: Lack of proper and timely communication
of information to the relevant individuals on account of insufficient delegation of
authorities and inappropriate reporting channels resulting in delays and
inappropriate decisions.
3. Low motivation and morale: Low level of motivation and poor morale amongst
the employees due to lack of clarity of job descriptions and inappropriate or
complex reporting lines.
4. Rising costs: Tall hierarchal structures at management positions and excessive red-
tape at the expense of genuine productive work resulting in high operating costs.
5. Inability to seize business opportunities: Lack of coordination and
communication among the various operating and planning and research
departments resulting in failure to identify and seize new business opportunities as
they emerge from time to time.
6. Inability to adapt to external changes in business environment: Lack of
coordination among the key management and the various departments which
prevents the company from foreseeing the changes in business environment and
utilize its physical assets at optimum levels.

THE END
IEF Mid-Term Suggested Solution By Sir Ijaz Butt
Question # 1:
(a) Describe demerit goods and club goods with at least two examples each? (M.04)
Answer:
Demerit Goods:
A good or service whose consumption is considered unhealthy, degrading, or otherwise socially undesirable due to
the perceived negative effects on the consumers themselves".
Examples, alcoholic beverages, and recreational drugs.
Club Goods:
Are a type of good in economics, sometimes classified as a subtype of public goods that are excludable but non-
rivalrous, at least until reaching a point where congestion occurs. These goods are often provided by a natural
monopoly.
Examples, Cinemas, and Cable Television
(b) Opportunity cost is important for active agents of an economy. Elaborate with examples? (M.06)
Opportunity Cost:
The forgone benefits by using a factor of production in its next best alternative.
The opportunity cost is the cost of losing an opportunity to get next benefit.
The application of the concept of opportunity cost can be observed in all sectors / agents of the of an economy such
as:
i. Consumer: Consumer considers the opportunity forgone while spending his income among various goods to
satisfy his wants.
ii. Government: Government also considers the opportunity cost by using resources to provide various
development and non-development projects to the society.
iii. Firms: The forgone benefit by using a factor of production during a production process is the core aim of a firm
to maximize its profits.
Question # 2:
Demonstrate the production possibility curve on an economy for consumer goods and military equipment’s. Use
appropriate diagram to support your answer. Explain the effect of economic growth on a country’s production
possibility frontier? (M.10)
Answer
A production Possibility Frontier/Curve (PPC or PPF) shows different combination of two goods that an economy
can produce when all the resources are fully and efficiently applied.
Assumption of PPF:

The movement from X point to Y point illustrate a very important aspect of the economic problem, the principle of
opportunity cost. The opportunity cost of any choice is measured in terms of the alternative that have to give up.
Hence the opportunity cost of increasing the production of consumer goods from C1-C2 is the fall in production of
capital goods from K1 to K2. This trend is showing the opportunity cost. In above diagram this point M indicates a
combination of capital goods and consumer goods where all resources are not employed fully. Whereas the point N
is not technically possible in given present resources and technology. Hence the opportunity cost of any decision or
choice can be defined as the next best alternative sacrificed or forgone.
Question # 3:
(a) Mr. Zain ul Abideen is dealing in room coolers for last few years. Over the years his accounts book has
showna record growth in its sale. Surprisingly he has experienced a sharp scaling back in sale this year. On
investigation he was found that one of the major reasons is availability of a new substitute in the market. Zain was
selling his product at the rate Rs. 25000 per unit. In the absence of an alternative, it’s total sale was recorded 2000
units during a course of time. Since it was observed that Zain’s sales gone down in a result when an alternative is
avail with a price cut from Rs. 28000 to Rs. 22000 per unit. Calculate the cross elasticity of demand and state its
degree. (M.08)
Solution:
22000 X
It is supposed that new demand X=1500 units (students will assume any will to calculate the elasticity)
22000−28000 1500−2000
e.d = ÷
(22000+28000)/2 (1500+2000)/2
e=
(b) State why the income elasticity of demand is negative for inferior goods? (M.02)
Answer:
An inferior good will always have a negative income elasticity of demand, because as income increases,
the demand for the product will decrease, as consumer switch to other alternative.
Question # 4:
(a)Support price is a system to protect the week agents of an economy from exploitation especially in agriculture.
Explain how minimum price system works in this regards. Elucidate your thought by means of a suitable diagram?
(M.06)
In the above diagram supply shifts outwards from S1 to S2 meaning (with no intervention) the price
will fall to Pe.
However, because the government guarantees the price at Pmin it buys the surplus stock: Q2 – Q3
The fact that farmers receive this price, naturally means that the price is stable, thus achieving the
policy goal
Should there be a commodity shortage in a future period, these stock levels could be used to release onto
the market and reduce the upward pressure on price
(b) Apart from the price of a product, there are many other factors which affect the quantum of supply into a
market. Explain those factors which responsible for a fall in supply of product. (No need of diagram) (M.04)
Answer:
Whenever there is a change in conditions other than price it may cause outward and inward shift simultaneously.
The following factors will shift the supply curve:
(i) Change in cost of production.
(ii) Change in the technology or method of production.
(iii) Change in efficiency of factors of production.
(iv) Discoveries and innovations.
(v) Change in indirect taxation.
(vi) Change in price of competitive supply.
(vii) Entry and exist of firms into industry.
Question # 5:
(a)Differentiate between cardinal and ordinal school of thoughts of utility? (M.02)
Answer:
Cardinal Thought of utility:
Cardinal thought of utility means utility can be measured quantitatively (like any other physical commodity) by
assigning a numeric value to it e.g. 10,20.
Ordinal Thought of utility:
Ordinal measurement means utility cannot be measured using numeric value. Consumer can only give
ranking/preference to different commodities on the basis of satisfaction received from each commodity
e.g. 1st,2nd,3rd.
(b)In economic theory it is affirmed that the real income of consumers increases as price of product under
consideration falls. Explain that price effect, comes from the income and substitution effects in this case.
(Support your answer with help of diagram). (M.08)
Price effect:
Price effect is the change in consumer equilibrium (i.e. change in quantity purchased of good) due to change in
price of a good.
Income effect:
Income effect is the change in consumer equilibrium (i.e. change in quantity purchased of good) due to change
in income of the consumer.
Effect of price on quantity demanded can be bifurcated into real income effect and substitution effect i.e.
Here we see the same price movement as before: a fall in the price of Good X.
Keeping utility constant, were we dealing with the new relative prices, then A’ of Good X would be consumed.
The income effect is then brought into place, effectively moving from A’ to B. This causes the quantity of B
consumed to decrease.
Here the substitution and income effects are working in opposite directions; however, the substitution effect
dominates the income effect.
We see that the price of Good X falling still leads to an increase in the quantity consumed nevertheless.

c) This is a valid contingent contract based on uncertain future event, i.e. return of father
within two years from USA.
iii. consideration doesn’t need to be adequate; it must have some value.so the contract on
account of consideration amounting to Rs.10000 is valid if Ahmad refused to carry out the
contract, he is liable to pay damages to Akram.
iv.
a. The communication of acceptance is complete as against the acceptor on 15 th January
because the letter of acceptance is received by offeror on 15th January.
b. X’s revocation is valid because X can revoke his offer at any time before the letter of
acceptance is posted by the offeree.
V) B will not succeed because he bought the horse after examination and not on the basis of
the Certificate. B has not therefore been deceived by the Certificate actually and a deceit
which does not deceive is not a fraud.
vi) The contract is absolutely void as there is a mutual mistake of both the parties as to the
substance or quality of the subject-matter going to the very root of the contract. In case of
bilateral mistake of essential fact, the agreement is void-ab- initio. In furtherance of the
consequences thereof the advantage both parties exchanged will be returned.
