In a perfectly competitive market, the equilibrium price is determined by the intersection of the:

  1. Supply curve and demand curve

  2. Supply curve and marginal cost curve

  3. Demand curve and marginal revenue curve

  4. Marginal cost curve and marginal revenue curve

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In a perfectly competitive market, the equilibrium price is determined by the interaction of supply and demand, where the quantity supplied equals the quantity demanded.

The law of demand states that, all other factors being equal, as the price of a good or service increases, the quantity demanded:

  1. Increases

  2. Decreases

  3. Remains the same

  4. Can either increase or decrease

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The law of demand states that, all other factors being equal, as the price of a good or service increases, the quantity demanded decreases.

The elasticity of demand measures the:

  1. Responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price

  2. Responsiveness of quantity supplied to changes in price

  3. Responsiveness of total revenue to changes in price

  4. Responsiveness of marginal revenue to changes in price

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.

A perfectly inelastic demand curve has an elasticity of demand equal to:

  1. 0

  2. 1

  3. Infinity

  4. Negative infinity

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A perfectly inelastic demand curve has an elasticity of demand equal to 0, meaning that quantity demanded does not change in response to changes in price.

A perfectly elastic demand curve has an elasticity of demand equal to:

  1. 0

  2. 1

  3. Infinity

  4. Negative infinity

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A perfectly elastic demand curve has an elasticity of demand equal to infinity, meaning that quantity demanded changes infinitely in response to changes in price.

The total revenue curve is:

  1. The product of price and quantity

  2. The difference between price and marginal cost

  3. The sum of fixed costs and variable costs

  4. The difference between total cost and total revenue

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The total revenue curve is the product of price and quantity.

The marginal revenue curve is:

  1. The change in total revenue resulting from a one-unit increase in quantity sold

  2. The change in total cost resulting from a one-unit increase in quantity sold

  3. The difference between price and marginal cost

  4. The sum of fixed costs and variable costs

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The marginal revenue curve is the change in total revenue resulting from a one-unit increase in quantity sold.

The profit-maximizing output level is the level of output where:

  1. Marginal revenue equals marginal cost

  2. Total revenue equals total cost

  3. Average revenue equals average cost

  4. Fixed costs equal variable costs

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The profit-maximizing output level is the level of output where marginal revenue equals marginal cost.

The concept of diminishing marginal utility states that:

  1. As more of a good or service is consumed, the additional satisfaction derived from each additional unit decreases

  2. As more of a good or service is consumed, the additional satisfaction derived from each additional unit increases

  3. As more of a good or service is consumed, the additional satisfaction derived from each additional unit remains constant

  4. As more of a good or service is consumed, the additional satisfaction derived from each additional unit becomes negative

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The concept of diminishing marginal utility states that as more of a good or service is consumed, the additional satisfaction derived from each additional unit decreases.

The indifference curve analysis is a graphical tool used to:

  1. Analyze consumer preferences and choices

  2. Analyze producer preferences and choices

  3. Analyze market equilibrium

  4. Analyze the relationship between price and quantity

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The indifference curve analysis is a graphical tool used to analyze consumer preferences and choices.

A budget line is a graphical representation of:

  1. The consumer's budget constraint

  2. The producer's budget constraint

  3. The market equilibrium

  4. The relationship between price and quantity

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A budget line is a graphical representation of the consumer's budget constraint.

The optimal consumption bundle is the bundle that:

  1. Maximizes the consumer's utility subject to the budget constraint

  2. Minimizes the consumer's expenditure subject to the utility constraint

  3. Equalizes the marginal utility of each good or service

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The optimal consumption bundle is the bundle that maximizes the consumer's utility subject to the budget constraint, minimizes the consumer's expenditure subject to the utility constraint, and equalizes the marginal utility of each good or service.

The concept of externalities refers to:

  1. The effects of economic activities on third parties

  2. The effects of government policies on economic activities

  3. The effects of technological change on economic activities

  4. The effects of natural disasters on economic activities

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The concept of externalities refers to the effects of economic activities on third parties.

A positive externality is an externality that:

  1. Benefits third parties

  2. Harms third parties

  3. Has no effect on third parties

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A positive externality is an externality that benefits third parties.

A negative externality is an externality that:

  1. Benefits third parties

  2. Harms third parties

  3. Has no effect on third parties

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A negative externality is an externality that harms third parties.
