Profits are maximized
Producing another unit would increase profits
|
2 |

They will aim to leave the industry
Other firms will join the industry
The revenue equals total costs
No profit is made in accounting terms

|
9 |
If marginal product is below average product. |
The total product will fall
The average product will fall
Average variable costs will fall
Total revenue will fall
|
10 |
If marginal cost is positive and falling. |
Total cost is falling
Total cost is increasing at a falling rate
Total cost is falling at a falling rate
Total cost is increasing at an increasing rate.
|
11 |
The average variable cost curve. |
Is derived from the average fixed costs
Converges with the average cost as output increases
Equals revenue minum profits
Equal the total costs divided by the output
|
12 |
The first level of output at which the long run average costs are minimized is called. |
The minimum Efficient Scale
The minimum External scale
The Maximum External scale
The maximum Effective scale.
|
13 |
When internal economics of scale occur |
Total costs fall
Marginal costs increase
Average costs fall
Revenue falls
|
14 |
The law of diminishing returns assumes. |
There are not fixed factors of production
There are no variable factors of production
Utility is maximized when marginal product falls.
Some factors of production are fixed
|
15 |
Which of the following is true. |
If the marginal cost is greater than the average cost the average cost fallls.
If the marginal cost is greater than the average cost the average cost increases.
If the marginal cost is positive total costs are maximized
If the marginal cost is negatives total costs increase at a decreasing rate if output increases
|
16 |
If a maximum price is set below equilibrium there will be. |

21 |
When supply increases in an agricultural market famer's earnings might fall because. |
Supply is price elastic
Demand is price inelastic
the government buys up all the excess production
All output must be sold at a maximum price
|
22 |
The demand for a product would be more inelastic. |
The greater is the time under consideration
The greater is the number of substitutes available to buyers
The less expensive is the product in relation to incomes
all of the above.
|
23 |
If the price in a market is fixed by the government above equilibrium. |
There is excess equilibrium
There is excess supply
There is excess demand
There is equilibrium
|
24 |
If the fprice in a market is fixed by the government below equilibrium. |
There is excess equilibrium
There is excess supply
There is excess demand
There is equilibrium
|
25 |
A public good will |
Be underprovided in the free market
Be overprovided in the free market
Not be provided in the free market

|
28 |
The law of demand states that. |
As the quantity demanded rises, the price rises.
As the price rises the quantity demanded rises
As the price rises, the quantity demanded falls.
As supply rises, the demand rises.
