You would have to pay me $50 to attend that pro wrestling event." For Mary, the marginal utility of the event is:

negative.

Marginal utility can be:

positive, negative, or zero.

Total utility may be determined by

summing the marginal utilities of each unit consumed.

1. The ability of a good or service to satisfy wants is called:

utility.

Economies and diseconomies of scale explain:

why the firm's long-run average total cost curve is U-shaped.

C

15 Refer to the above table the marginal cost of producing the sixth unit of the outputs

demand curves are downsloping.

Which of the following constitutes an implicit cost to the Johnston Manufacturing Company?

depreciation charges on company-owned equipment

As the firm in the above diagram expands from plant size #3 to plant size #5, it experiences:

diseconomies of scale.

As the firm in the above diagram expands from plant size #1 to plant size #3, it experiences:

economies of scale.

Marginal utility becomes negative beginning with the:

fourth unit.

To economists, the main difference between the short run and the long run is that:

in the long run all resources are variable, while in the short run at least one resource is fixed.

The profit-maximizing output for this firm:

is 5.

The above data illustrate the:

law of diminishing marginal utility.

6 Refer the above diagram if consumers buy product X and Product Y How much will the consumer buy of each to maximize utility

and 4y

14 Refer to the above table the average fixed cost of producing 3 units of output is

3.33

If the price of X decreases to $2, then the utility-maximizing combination of the two products is:

4 of X and 5 of Y.

. If the consumer has a money income of $52 and the prices of J and K are $8 and $4 respectively, the consumer will maximize her utility by purchasing

4 units of J and 5 units of K.

5 Refer to the above table if the consumer can only buy product x how will the consumer and will be total utility

5x and 120

8 Refer to the above table suppose that consumers income increase from $20 to $30 what would be the utility maximizing combination of products X and Y

5x and 5y

12 The Total variable cost of producing 5 units is

63

4 Refer to the above table at which consumption level for this product does diminishing marginal utility.

7 units

What level of total utility will the utility-maximizing consumer realize?

96 utils

3 Refer to the table above the addition of which units has the greatest marginal utility.

Sixth

The total variable cost of producing 5 units is:

$37.

Suppose that a business incurred implicit costs of $200,000 and explicit costs of $1 million in a specific year. If the firm sold 4,000 units of its output at $300 per unit, its accounting profits were:

$200,000 and its economic profits were zero

The average total cost of producing 3 units of output is:

$16.

Refer to the above data. The value for Z is:

-5.

. The above diagram shows the short-run average total cost curves for five different plant sizes of a firm. In the long run the firm should produce output 0x with a plant of size:

. #2.

What quantities of X and Y should be purchased to maximize utility?

. 2 of X and 5 of Y

Which of the following definitions is correct?

. Economic profit = accounting profit - implicit costs.

The ability of a good or service to satisfy wants is called:

Utility

The law of diminishing marginal utility states that:

beyond some point additional units of a product will yield less and less extra satisfaction to a consumer.

To the economist, total cost includes:

. explicit and implicit costs, including a normal profit.

. The above diagram shows the short-run average total cost curves for five different plant sizes of a firm. The shape of each individual curve reflects:

. increasing returns, followed by diminishing returns.

Costs to an economist

. may or may not involve monetary outlays.

The basic characteristic of the short run is that:

. the firm does not have sufficient time to change the size of its plant.

13 Average total cost of producing 3 units output is

.67

11 For the Nation Depicted in the Table below the opportunity cost of moving from combination A to Combination B

114 unit

Refer to the above data. The value for X is:

15

7 Refer to the above to the above diagram when the consumer purchases the utility maximizing producing X and Product Y total utility will be

156

10 Suppose that you could prepare your own tax return in 15 hours you could hire a tax specialist to prepare it for 2 hours. You value your time at $11 per hour. The specialist will charge 55 a hour. Opportunity cost of preparing your own Tax is

9 John Brook quite his job where he earned 15000 per year to become a graduate student in economics. At the university he attended he spent 2000 on books 1000 on cough medicine and earned 12000 as an economics professor what were John economics cost while he attended college

18000

If the consumer's money income were cut from $52 to $28, and the prices of J and K remain at $8 and $4 respectively, she would maximize her satisfaction by

2 units of J and 3 units of K.

Refer to the above data. The value for W is:

20.

What level of total utility is realized from the equilibrium combination of J and K, if the consumer has a money income of $52 and the prices of J and K are $8 and $4 respectively?

276 utils

2 Refer to the graph above what's the marginal utility for the unit 4.

44

Refer to the above data. The value for Y is:

45.

Which of the following best expresses the law of diminishing returns?

As successive amounts of one resource (labor) are added to fixed amounts of other resources (capital), beyond some point the resulting extra output will decline

The law of diminishing returns indicates that:

as extra units of a variable resource are added to a fixed resource, marginal product will decline beyond some point.
