Suppose that a firm's marginal revenue is 246 Turkish liras and its marginal cost is 110 Turkish Liras. Based on the information above, what is this firm's marginal profit?
123 |
126 |
136 |
356 |
446 |
Marginal profit is the additional profit that a firm earns when
it increases its output by one more unit. The marginal profit is equal to the marginal revenue minus marginal cost.
MP=MR–MC
=246- 110
=136
The correct answer is C.

Which of the following is not true about "task incidence and elasticity"?
The tax incidence shows who pays the tax |
The tax incidence shows how the tax burden is shared among buyers and |
The tax incidence is not affected by whether the tax is levied on buyers or sellers. |
The burden of tax is shared by buyers and sellers |
what determines the tax incidence is the demand elasticities of price and supply |
The tax incidence shows who pays the tax and how the tax burden is shared among buyers and sellers. As it is seen above the tax incidence is not affected by whether the tax is levied on buyers or sellers. It does not matter who pays the tax to government, the burden is shared by buyers and sellers. What determines the tax incidence? How is the burden of tax shared? The answer to this question is elasticity, specifically, the price elasticities of demand and supply. In general, it can be said that a tax burden goes more heavily on the side of the market that is less price elastic

What is average product of Labor?
Average product is the total unit production of a firm. |
Average product (AP), also called average product of labor (APL), is total product (TP) divided by the total quantity of labor. |
The change in the quantity of total product resulting from a unit change in a variable input, keeping all other inputs unchanged. |
The quantity of total output produced per unit of a variable input. |
Average product is useful for defining production capabilities at a specific level of input. |
We can also look at how productive the labor is on average. To do that, we need to look at the average output per worker or more formally the average product of labor (APL). It is equal to the division of the total product by the quantity of labor employed.
APL=TP /L

What does the term willingness to pay mean?
The minimum price consumers will pay |
The maximum price consumers will pay |
The maximum price for a good in the market |
The minimum price for a good in the market |
The average price consumers will pay |
The demand curve can also be called the willingness to pay curve. Willingness to pay tells us the maximum amount that a buyer will pay for a good or service. The correct answer is B.

Which of the following is true regarding long run in a perfect competitive market?
Firms suffer an economic loss in the long run. |
Firms make a very large economic profit in the long run. |
In the long run there is no incentive to enter or exit the market. |
It is impossible for a firm to expand its production capacity in the long run. |
In the long run, each firm has a Price(P) = Maximum average cost (ACmax). |
In the short run, firms can make a profit or suffer an economic loss. A positive economic profit creates an incentive to enter the market whereas an economic loss causes a firm to shut down and exit in the long run. A perfectly competitive firm makes zero profit in the long run. Long-run equilibrium can be defined as a case in which there is no incentive to enter or exit. In the long-run equilibrium, each firm has: P = MC = ACmin = LRACmin.

Suppose that you buy a new smart phone. If you had not buy that phone you would have spent the money for taking a vacation. What term in economics is used for describing what you give up to get that phone?
The Opportunity Cost |
Production Possibilities Frontier |
Standard of Living |
Efficiency |
Equity |
The opportunity cost of a desired item or outcome to a person is what that person has to give up to get that item or to achieve that outcome. When making decisions, individuals should recognize the opportunity costs of each action that they can take.
Production Possibilities Frontier is a graph that shows the combinations of output that a firm or a society can possibly produce using the available production technology and the given amount of inputs.
A country’s standard of living depends on the economy’s ability to produce goods and services. Since this ability displays great variation across countries, there are huge differences in the living standards of countries around the world.
Efficiency refers to the ability of a firm or society to get the most out of a given level of inputs.
Equity refers to the distribution of resources fairly among members of the society.
As it can be understood from the definitions given the correct answer is “A”.

What happens to monopolistically competitive firms in the long run when costumers start consuming new products instead of the old ones?
Supply curve facing an existing monopolistic firm increases and shifts to the right as new firms enter into the market. |
Demand curve facing an existing monopolistic firm decreases and shifts to the left as new firms enter into the market. |
Supply curve facing an existing monopolistic firm increases and shifts to the left as new firms enter into the market. |
Demand curve facing an existing monopolistic firm increases and shifts to the left as new firms enter into the market. |
Demand curve facing an existing monopolistic firm decreases and shifts to the right as new firms enter into the market. |
Some consumers may find new products more to their taste and start consuming them instead of old products. This consumer behavior in turn decreases demand for old products. Hence demand curve facing an existing monopolistic firm decreases and shifts to the left as new firms enter into the market. The correct answer is B.

Which of the followings is a market structure where there are many firms that sell differentiated products?
Oligopoly |
Monopoly |
Monopolistic competition |
Cartel |
Nash Equilibrium |
Monopolistic competition is a market structure where there are many firms that sell differentiated products. Each firm has a monopoly over the product it sells, but many other firms make similar products that compete for the same customers.

Which term below reveals the marginal rate of substitution of one good for another good?
The integral of a distribution function. |
The slope of budget constraint. |
The slope of an indifference curve. |
The length of budget constraint. |
The integral of indifference curve. |
The marginal rate of substitution (MRS) is defined as the number of units of good Y that must be given up if the consumer, after receiving an extra unit of good X, is to maintain a constant level of satisfaction or utility.

I. Profit
II. Labor
III. Capital
IV. Entrepreneurship
V. Natural resources
Which of the above are considered as the main factors of production?
I, III and IV |
II, III and V |
III, IV and V |
I, III, IV and V |
II, III, IV and V |
The production process converts resources, which are called inputs or factors of production, into new goods and services called output over a period of time. The basic factors of production available to a society are natural resources, labor, capital and entrepreneurship. Profit is not one of them. The correct answer is E.

When Linda goes to a supermarket to buy some biscuits, she notices that there are two different brands with the same price; however, the package of brand X is 130 grams whereas brand Y's package is 100 grams. Naturally, she prefers brand X. which of the following is true about Linda's behavior in terms of the properties of indifference curves?
Goods are substitutable. |
Indifference curves cannot cross each other |
More goods are preferable to fewer goods. |
Indifference curves are everywhere dense. |
Indifference curves are always convex |
More goods are preferable to fewer goods— thus, bundles on indifference curves lying farthest to the northeast of a diagram are always preferred. Lets assume, a consumer consumes only two commodities, X and Y, that are both desired, the individual will always prefer a bundle with more of one good (without loss of the other) to the original bundle.

Which of the following can be described as the additional output produced when a small amount of additional labor is employed with all other inputs remaining the same?
Marginal product of labor |
Average product of labor |
Total product of labor |
Law of diminishing returns |
Increasing marginal returns |
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 (MPL = ΔTP / ΔL = ΔQ / ΔL). The correct answer is A.
15.Soru
What does ‘allocative efficiency’ refer to?
An economic situation when the supplies excess the demand |
A situation when the social benefit equals the cost of production |
A situation in which production meets consumer preferences |
A level at which resources are used efficiently for maximum production |
A level at which additional amounts of a good can no longer be produced |
Allocative efficiency refers to a situation in which production meets consumer preferences. In other words, it is an economic concept that occurs when the output of production is as close as possible to the marginal cost. The correct answer is C.
16.Soru
In which of the options all of the factors of production are given?
Labor |
Labor & Capital |
Labor & Money |
Land & Money |
Labor, Capital & Land |
A firm needs to bring inputs together to produce goods or services. These inputs are called Factors of
Production. Classical economists identified three widely defined groups of the factors of production: Labor, capital and land. The answer is E.

Which of the followings is among the characteristics of a monopoly?
There are few firms. |
There are no barriers to entry to the market. |
There are many firms in the market. |
There are barriers to entry to the market in considerable number. |
Products have no close substitute. |
A monopoly arises when there is only one firm which produces a good or service with no close substitute. Therefore, the correct option is E.
18.Soru
A firm has a unit of good it sells for 7 TL. It produces a second unit of the same good and sells it for 6 TL. Therefore, how much is the marginal revenue from the second unit?
7 TL |
5 TL |
6 TL |
1 TL |
No change |
A monopoly’s marginal revenue is less than its price: In order to increase its output by one unit, a monopoly must reduce the price it charges for every unit and this cut in price reduces the revenue on the units it was already selling. Therefore, the correct option is B.
19.Soru
New firms continue to enter the market until ______.
Which of the following completes the statement above?
equilibrium prices start to increase |
external diseconomies are eliminated |
the demand for labor increases |
economic profits fall to zero level |
the market price of the good rises |
When new firms enter a market, the number of firms rise and the supply curve shifts to the right (supply increases, equilibrium quantity increases and the equilibrium price falls). New firms continue to enter the market until positive economic profits are eliminated, which means that they keep entering the market till their economic profits fall to zero. When firms exit a market, the supply decreases and the supply curve shifts to the left (equilibrium quantity falls and equilibrium price rises). Firms continue to exit until economic loss is eliminated. The correct answer is D.
