Karnataka II PUC Economics (KSEAB) study plan
Karnataka II PUC Economics (KSEAB) · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
Introductory Microeconomics
Define scarcity, choice, opportunity cost and the central problems of an economy, and state them in your own words without notes
Distinguish microeconomics from macroeconomics and classify ten given economic statements into each category
Construct a production possibility frontier and explain shifts versus movements along it using two worked examples
List the assumptions behind a market economy and identify each assumption in a short real-world example
Your checkpoint
A one-page handwritten summary sheet covering scarcity, opportunity cost, PPC properties and the three central problems, plus five solved PPC questions
Introductory Microeconomics
Derive the three methods of measuring national income conceptually and explain why the three should give the same total
Compute simple numericals on value added, income and expenditure methods using small hypothetical data sets
Classify items as final or intermediate goods and as stock or flow variables in a set of twenty items
Explain the circular flow of income in a two-sector economy and mark where leakages and injections occur
Your checkpoint
A worked numerical file with at least eight solved national income problems showing full steps and answers
Consumer Behaviour and Demand
State the law of diminishing marginal utility and illustrate it with a schedule and a diagram you draw from memory
Derive the demand curve from marginal utility and explain the assumptions that make the derivation valid
Compute total utility, marginal utility and consumer surplus from a given utility schedule
Distinguish cardinal and ordinal utility approaches and list the criticisms of each
Your checkpoint
A hand-drawn utility schedule and demand curve pair with a 150-word written explanation of the link between them
Consumer Behaviour and Demand
Explain indifference curves, their properties and the budget line, and show the consumer equilibrium point on a diagram
Distinguish movement along a demand curve from a shift of the demand curve using five causes of each
Compute and interpret price, income and cross elasticity of demand from given data
Apply elasticity to a pricing scenario and justify the revenue outcome
Your checkpoint
A timed 45-minute self-test on demand and elasticity with at least 15 questions, scored and error-logged
Producer Behaviour and Supply
Define production function, short run and long run, and distinguish fixed from variable factors with examples
State and apply the law of variable proportions, identifying the three stages on a diagram
Compute total product, average product and marginal product from a factor input schedule
Explain returns to scale and separate it from the law of variable proportions
Your checkpoint
A completed product schedule with all three stages labelled and a half-page written justification of stage boundaries
Producer Behaviour and Supply
Derive short-run cost curves from a cost schedule and explain the shape of each curve
Distinguish fixed, variable, average and marginal cost and compute each from given totals
Explain the relationship between marginal cost and average cost at the point of intersection
State the conditions of a firm's equilibrium under perfect competition using marginal cost and marginal revenue
Your checkpoint
A cost curve diagram set drawn from your own numerical schedule with a one-page explanation of each curve's shape
Forms of Market and Price Determination
Tabulate the features of perfect competition, monopoly, monopolistic competition and oligopoly in a comparison grid
Explain how price and output are determined under perfect competition in the short and long run
Describe price discrimination under monopoly and state its conditions
Interpret a simple demand and supply schedule to find equilibrium price and quantity after a shift
Your checkpoint
A one-page market structures comparison grid with equilibrium outcomes filled in for each structure
Introductory Microeconomics & Consumer Behaviour and Demand & Producer Behaviour and Supply & Forms of Market and Price Determination
Revise all four domains using your own summary sheets and error log from weeks 1 to 7
Solve two full-length timed practice papers under exam conditions and score them
Re-teach the five weakest concepts aloud or in writing without referring to notes
Compile a final one-page formula and definition sheet spanning all domains
Your checkpoint
Two scored full-length practice papers with a written error analysis listing every repeat mistake and its fix
Milestones
Week 2: You can explain the three methods of national income measurement and solve a value-added numerical unaided within 10 minutes
Week 4: You score at least 70 percent on the timed demand and elasticity self-test and can draw the consumer equilibrium diagram from memory
Week 6: You can produce a full cost and product schedule from raw data and label every curve correctly without reference material
Week 8: Both full-length practice papers are scored above 60 percent with no repeated error from your log
