Econ Test 3
At 2 units of output in above Table, the average variable cost is: a. $13 b. $6 c. $12 d. $21
$13
Hideki is the owner/operator of Hideki's Flower Shop. Last year he earned $100,000 in totalrevenue. His explicit costs were $60,000 paid to his employees and suppliers (assume that thisamount represents the total opportunity cost of these resources). During the course of the year hereceived three offers to work for other flower shops with the highest offer being $60,000 per year.Calculate Hideki's accounting and economic profit. a. Accounting profit = $40,000; economic profit = $0 b. Accounting profit = $60,000; economic profit = $40,000. c. Accounting profit = $40,000; economic profit = negative $20,000. d. Accounting profit = $0; economic profit = negative $40,000.
Accounting profit = $40,000; economic profit = negative $20,000.
1. Accounting costs and economic costs differ because: a. Economic costs include implicit costs and accounting costs do not. b. Accounting costs include implicit costs and economic costs do not. c. Economic costs include explicit costs and accounting costs do not. d. Accounting costs include explicit costs and economic costs do not
Economic costs include implicit costs and accounting costs do not.

The law of diminishing returns states that beyond some point, the: a. Returns on stocks and bonds diminish with higher security prices. b. Addition to total utility diminishes as more units of a good are consumed. c. Marginal physical product of a variable input diminishes as more of that input is used. d.

diseconomies of scale.
If, at the present output level, price exceeds marginal cost, the purely competitive firm A) is maximizing its profit or minimizing its loss. B) should increase output to maximize its profit or minimize its loss. C) should reduce output to maximize its profit or minimize its loss. D) should increase its price to maximize its profit or minimize its loss. E) is clearly incurring a loss and should leave the industry.
