What is the marginal product of labor definition?
The marginal product of labor (MPL) is the change in input that results from employing an added unit of labor. |
To calculate marginal product of labor you simply divide the change in total product by the change in labor. |
Unit change in a variable output, keeping all other outputs unchanged |
Product by the change in the variable output. |
The additional output produced when a small amount of additional labor is employed with all other inputs remaining the same. |
Marginal Product of Labor (MPL) is the additional output produced when a small amount of additional labor is employed with all other inputs remaining the same. More formally, it is the ratio of change in total product to the change in the amount of labor used.
4.Soru
Which of the following goods tends to be more inelastic than the others?
Hamburgers |
Medicine |
Cinema tickets |
Diamond necklace |
Automobiles |
Price elasticity of demand is also affected by how the consumers view a good or service a necessity or luxury for themselves. Necessities tend to have inelastic demand and luxuries tend to have elastic demand. Education and health services (doctor visits), heating in the winter, gasoline for car owners are considered necessities for consumers and these items have inelastic demand since the case of price increases in these items gets small reactions from consumers to cut their quantity demanded. On the other hand, for the items that is considered as luxury for the consumers, a price increase gets a substantial response from the consumers’ demand. The correct answer is B.
5.Soru
Which of the following is not one of the necessary conditions for a ‘perfectly competitive industry’?
There are many firms and consumers in the market. |
One individual producer controls and influences the market price. |
Producers and consumers are well informed about the good. |
Firms in the market produce and sell an identical product. |
There are no restrictions on entry into or exit from the market. |
We can define the necessary conditions for a competitive industry as follows:
i) There are many firms; a single firm produces and sells a tiny fraction of the total market sold to many consumers; a single consumer`s purchase is also a tiny fraction of the total market purchase.
ii) Producers and consumers are well informed about the quality and price of the good in question.
iii) Firms produce and sell an identical product.
iv) There are no restrictions on entry into (or exit from) the market, and established firms don`t have any specific advantage over new firms.
On the other hand, as the producers and consumers are price takers, neither can influence the market price of the product. The correct answer is B.
6.Soru
If demand is elastic that is, elasticity is greater than unity in absolute value,
the total revenue will increase. |
the price of goods will fall. |
the total revenue will fall. |
the price of goods will increase. |
the price increases depend on the price elasticity of demand. |
If demand is elastic, that is, elasticity is greater than unity in absolute value, then a percentage increase in the price will decrease the quantity sold more than a percentage and the total revenue will fall.

I. Indifference curves are everywhere dense. II. Indifference curves are always concave. III. Indifference curves can cross each other. Which of the above statements about ‘indifference curves’ is true?
I |
II |
III |
I and II |
II and III |
There are five properties of indifference curves: a) more goods are preferable to fewer goods, b) goods are substitutable, c) indifference curves cannot cross each other, d) indifference curves are everywhere dense, and e) indifference curves are always convex. The correct answer is A.
8.Soru
Which of the following statements is correct if the labor supply curve shifts right?
There are immigrants in the area. |
Peace is disturbed in the area. |
Migration from the area is a problem. |
Women are discouraged from working in the area. |
People in the area are less willing to work. |
If the demand curve for labor supply shifts right, it means there is labor supply. Immigrants have a positive effect on labor supply. Therefore, the correct option is A.
9.Soru
In which of the 'factors of production' groups is coal included?
Labor |
Physical capital |
Financial capital |
Land |
Enterpreneurship |
The Land includes not only the physical area that the production facilities are built upon, but also other natural resources, such as coal that are used in production.
10.Soru
Which of the followings is not one of the basic factors of production available to a society?
Entrepreneurship |
Profit |
Capital |
Labor |
Natural resources |
The basic factors of production available to a society are natural resources, labor, capital and entrepreneurship. Therefore, the correct option is B.
11.Soru
Wage (w) x Labor (L) + Interest (r) x Capital (K) = ? What is the equality of the formulation above?
Total cost |
Marginal revenue |
Fixed cost |
Variable cost |
Average fixed cost |
Total Cost (TC) = Wage (w) x Labor (L) + Interest (r) x Capital (K) The correct answer is A.
12.Soru
Average revenue is calculated with the formula:
Average Revenue (AR)=Price (P) x Quantity (Q). |
Average Revenue (AR) = Total Revenue (TR) / Quantity (Q). |
Average Revenue(AR)= ΔTotal Revenue (ΔTR) / ΔQuantity (ΔQ). |
Average Revenue (AR) = Marginal Revenue (MR) - Marginal Cost (MC). |
Average Revenue (AR)= Total Revenue (TR) / Price (P). |
Average revenue which tells us how much revenue a firm gets for each unit sold, is calculated with the formula : Average Revenue (AR) = Total Revenue (TR) / Quantity (Q).
13.Soru
Which of the following is not one of the basic factors of production?
Natural resources |
Labor |
Capital |
Entrepreneurship |
Money |
The basic factors of production available to a society are natural resources, labor, capital and entrepreneurship. Money is not one of them.
14.Soru
Which of the followings is the difference between total revenue and total cost?
Total cost |
Implicit cost |
Profit |
Economies of scale |
Opportunity cost |
Profit is defined as the difference between total revenue and total cost. The correct answer is C.
15.Soru
......... is the combinations of quantities of two goods (namely X and Y) that a consumer can purchase with certain amount of income or earning. Which of the following completes the statement above?
Indifference curve |
Budget constraint |
Marginal rate |
Consumer choice |
Utility maximization |
Budget constraint (or budget line) shows all of the combinations of the quantities of goods X and Y that a consumer can buy with his fixed level of income. The correct answer is B.
16.Soru
Which of the followings refers to the use of scarce resources that will yield the highest possible amount of output or the production of what people demand using the least amount of input?
Economic efficiency. |
Long-run equilibrium. |
Firm equilibrium. |
Normal economic profit. |
Allocative efficiency. |
Economic efficiency is the use of scarce resources—the labor force, natural resources and land—that will yield the highest possible amount of output or the production of what people demand using the least amount of input. Therefore, the correct option is A.
17.Soru
What are the best and most effective signals guiding the decisions od consumers and producers?
Production posibility frontier |
Exchange rates |
Prices |
Opportunity costs |
Unemployment rates |
There is continuous interaction between the actions of firms and households in a market
economy. These actions affect (even determine) market prices, and get affected by changes in those prices. Prices are the best and most effective signals guiding the decisions of households (or consumers) and firms (or producers).
18.Soru
Which of the following is true when the demand is said to be elastic?
Price elasticity of demand is smaller than one |
Percentage change in quantity is smaller than the percentage change in price |
It means that we are on the inelastic portion of demand curve |
The decrease in total revenue from lower quantity is greater than the increase in total revenue from higher price |
Total revenue from sales increases |
When the demand is elastic (If we are on the elastic portion of demand curve), then
Price elasticity of demand is greater than 1. Percentage change in Quantity>Percentage change in Price. The decrease in total revenue from lower Quantity is greater than the increase in total revenue from higher Price, so total revenue from sales falls. Answer is D.
19.Soru
Q = TP = f (K, L, N)
Which of the following can be expressed as the equation above?
Demand for labor |
Labor demand curve |
Production function |
Marginal product of labor |
Marginal revenue product of labor |
The relationship between the factors of production that a firm uses and the output it produces is called a firm’s production function. A typical production function can be expressed as: Q = TP = f (K, L, N) Here, Q stands for Quantity Output and TP stands for Total Product. When talking about production, these two terms can be used interchangeably. K means physical capital, L means labor and N means land (or natural resources). The correct answer is C.
20.Soru
Which of the followings refers to the process in which firms sell the same good to different customers at different prices?
Uniform pricing |
Price discrimination |
Demand schedule |
Additional unit |
Marginal cost |
In many cases, firms sell the same good to different customers at different prices. This practice is called price discrimination. Therefore, the correct option is B.
