- 8When there is a positive technological change, what will be the effect of this change on labor demand?
- AIt causes a movement along the labor demand curve from point B(wage2) to A(wage1)
- BThis change shifts the MRPL curve to right, increasing labor demand
- CThis change does not affect the MRPL curve, so the labor demand curve stands still

- EThis change shifts the MRPL curve to left, decreasing labor demand
- 9If two firms form a cartel in order earn monopoly profits, compared to monopoly outcome which of the following statement will be correct?
- AA cartel produces less than monopoly quantity at higher than the monopoly price and creates a larger deadweight loss
- BA cartel produces more than monopoly quantity at the monopoly price and creates a deadweight loss
- CA cartel produces monopoly quantity at the monopoly price and creates a lower deadweight loss
- DA cartel produces competitive market quantity at the monopoly price and does not create a deadweight loss
- EA cartel produces monopoly quantity at the monopoly price and creates a deadweight loss
- 10Which of the following does not correctly explain the relationship between the total revenue and the price elasticity of demand?

- BIf the demand is inelastic, a decrease in the price causes total revenue to increase.
- CIf the demand is inelastic, an increase in the price causes total revenue to increase.
- DIf the demand is elastic, a decrease in the price causes total revenue to increase.
- EIf the demand is elastic, an increase in the price causes total revenue to decrease.
