When demand is elastic, an increase in price will causea.no change in total revenue.b.an increase in total revenue.c.a decrease in total revenue.d.There is insufficient information to answer this question.20. In Exhibit I-1, the marginal revenue of the twelfth unit equalsa.$7b.$18c.$216d.$121.

If at Q = 12, MC of the twelfth unit = $84 & MR of that unit = $70, the firm shoulda.shut downb.increase outputc.remain at Q = 12d.reduce output23. In the short run, a firm should shut down if price is less thana.ATCb.ARc.MCd.AVC24. When the firm's output level is zero, profit equalsa.Zerob.fixed costc.variable costd.marginal revenue25.

At P = $20, AVC = $10, AFC = $12, & Q = 20, the result is aa.loss of $20b.profit of $0c.profit of $40d.loss of $4032. Market power refers to thea.firm's ability to control the industry's supply and demandb.joining of firms into a cartelc.firm's ability to influence market priced.market's ability to control a firm's price33. In Exhibit I-2, at what quantity does the firm maximize profit?a.13 unitsb.14 unitsc.15 unitsd.16 units34. Which of the following is NOT possible when a firm is maximizing its profits?a.MC = MRb.AVC is at its minimum pointc.AFC < AVCd.MC = MR and TR is increasing35 The marginal product of labor can be defined as (where d denotes "change")a.d profit/d labor.b.d output/d labor.c.d labor/d total cost.d.d labor/d output.36. Diminishing marginal product of labor would arise whena.workers are discouraged about the lack of help from other workers.b.only new workers are trained in using the most productive capital.c.crowded office space reduces the productivity of new workers.d.union workers are told to reduce their work effort in preparation for a new round of collective bargaining talks.37. The cost to produce an additional unit of output is the firm'sa.average variable cost.b.marginal cost.c.average opportunity cost.d.total productivity cost.38. Average total cost equalsa.(fixed costs + variable costs)/quantity produced.b.(fixed costs + variable costs)/change in quantity produced.c.change in total costs/quantity produced.d.change in total costs/change in quantity produced.39. If we assume that marginal product of labor is initially increasing but always decreasing thereafter, average total costa.and average fixed cost are always falling.b.and average fixed cost are always U-shaped.c.and average fixed cost are always rising.d.is U-shaped and average fixed cost is always falling.40. If marginal cost is risinga.average total cost must be falling.b.average fixed cost must be rising.c.marginal product must be rising.d.marginal product must be falling.
