I + J

The price of Stork ice cream increases from $3.00 to $4.00, thus the quantity demanded for Stork ice cream decreases from 40 to 36 per day. Use mid point formula to calculate the price elasticity of demand.

.368; inelastic

Marginal Cost=

Total Cost(now)-Total cost(before)/Marginal Product of Labor

Average Total Cost=

Total cost/Quantity

One reason for this is: A) tastes for many traded goods are similar in many countries because of globalization B) production of most goods involves increasing opportunity costs C) comparative advantage works better in theory than in practice D)some countries have more resources than other countries

B) production of most goods involves increasing opportunity costs

C) is selling a product for a price below its cost of production

Variable cost

Changes with each additional worker

Which of the following statements is FALSE? A) Marginal cost will equal average total cost when average total cost is at its lowest point B) When marginal cost is less than average total cost, average total cost will fall C) when marginal cost is greater than average total cost, average total cost will rise D) marginal cost will equal average total cost when marginal cost is at its lowest point

D) marginal cost will equal average total cost when marginal cost is at its lowest point

The law of diminishing marginal returns states: A) average total costs of production initially fall and after some point starts to rise at a decreasing rate as output increase B) that at some point, adding more of a fixed input to a given amount of variable inputs will cause the marginal product of the variable input to decline C) that in the presence of a fixed factor, at some point average product of labor starts to fall as more and more variable inputs are added D) that at some point, adding more of a variable input to a given amount of a fixed input will cause the marginal product of variable input to decline

D) that at some point, adding more of a variable input to a given amount of a fixed input will cause the marginal product of variable input to decline

Suppose a professional basketball game is to be played at a downtown urban arena, which increases the demand for parking on the night of the game. If the urban area has limited ability to create additional parking during periods of peak demand, then ______________? A) the supply of parking will be more elastic and the price of parking will not change the night of the game B) the supply of parking will be more inelastic and the price of parking will increase by a relatively small amount the night of the game C) the supply of parking will be perfectly inelastic and the price of parking will increase by a relatively small amount the night of the game D) the supply of parking will be more inelastic and the price of parking will increase by a relatively large amount the night of the game

D) the supply of parking will be more inelastic and the price of parking will increase by a relatively large amount the night of the game
