The shut-down point of a firm in the short run is at:
The shut-down point of a firm in the short run is at:
The lowest Average Variable Cost. |
The lowest Marginal Cost. |
The lowest Average Cost. |
The lowest Total Cost. |
The lowest Total Variable Cost. |
If the price is less than the average variable cost at its lowest point, the firm will not be able to continue to produce. The rational strategy for the firm would be to shut down operation, so the optimal output level at all price levels below the lowest AVC is zero. The lowest point on the AVC is called the shut-down point.

If MRS (marginal rate of substitution) is said to be perfect along the indifference curve, how it would shape?
A positively sloped linear line |
A negatively slpoed linear line |
A convex curve to the origin |
A concave curve to the origin |
A L shaped curve |
If two goods are perfect substitutes, the marginal rate of substitution of one good for the other is constant. Therefore indifference curve will be a negatively sloped linear line. The answer is B.
4.Soru
Traditionaly, how many types of market structures have been defined based on different properties?
2 |
3 |
4 |
5 |
6 |
Traditionally, four types of market structures have been defined based on the characteristics of the market, the number of firms in the market, the degree of product differentiation and the ease of entry and exit of firms into and out of the market. The correct answer is C.
5.Soru
In a market demand curve, the ‘break-even point’ refers to the point where _____.
Which of the following completes the statement above?
the demand curve shifts further leftward |
the price is equal to the average cost |
the price is under the average variable cost |
the marginal cost curve is below the shut-down point |
the firm supplies the product with maximum price |
The firms earn a zero level of profit when the price equals average cost. The situation refers to a break-even point where the firm earns a normal profit. The correct answer is B.
6.Soru
When the wage rate is considered, which of the followings occurs as the average product of labor (APL) increases?
The average variable cost increases |
The average variable cost stays the same |
The average variable cost decreases |
The marginal cost continues to fall as long as the average variable cost remains below it |
Marginal cost decreases |
Given the wage rate, a higher average product of labor (APL) implies a lower average variable cost (AVC) and vice versa. So, as APL increases, AVC decreases and hits its minimum when APL is at its maximum. Once APL starts to fall, AVC begins to rise and generate a U shape. Therefore, the correct option is C.
7.Soru
Which of the following is not correct when the average variable cost is considered?
It measures the variable cost per unit of the output produced. |
Its behavior is connected to the behavior of the total variable cost. |
The average variable cost is calculated as the total variable cost divided by the quantity of the total output produced. |
It measures how fast or slow the total cost and the total variable cost increase. |
Its behaviour is normally U shaped. |
The Average variable cost (AC) measures the variable cost per unit of the output produced.
Its behavior is connected to the behavior of the total variable cost and is normally U shaped.
The average variable cost is calculated as the total variable cost divided by the quantity of the total output produced.
The property given in option D belongs to the marginal cost. Therefore, the correct option is D.
8.Soru
Which of the following statements does not refer to an oligopolist market structure where there is competition rather than collusion?
Each producer chooses its own price. |
Each firm takes the market price as given. |
Firms choose the best response strategies against each other. |
The firms act independently in the market. |
Each firm takes the other firm's strategy as given. |
Since there are only few firms, we cannot assume that each firm takes the market price as given as we have assumed in perfect competition. The Correct Answer is B.
9.Soru
Which of the following is not true about monopolistic competition?
Monopolistic competition is a market structure in which there are many firms selling products that are similar but not identical. |
There is no single market price in monopolistic competition. |
Price is not the only factor that determines consumers' decisions in monopolistic competition. |
Monopolistically competitive market typically has many sellers because there are low barriers to entry in this market. |
Product differentiation makes the profit maximization problem of a monopolistically competitive firm different from that of a monopoly. |
First four options are the properties of monopolistic competition, not the last one.
Product differentiation makes the profit maximization problem of a monopolistically
competitive firm similar to that of a monopoly. The correct answer is E.
10.Soru
Which of the following statements about ‘investment’ is false?
It can be considered as the determinant of productivity level of a country. |
It can be described as the increase in the general price level in the economy. |
It can be accepted as a recipe for increasing economywide productivity levels. |
It can be in the form of human capital (improving people’s productive skills). |
It can be in the form of physical capital (machinery and equipment used in production). |
Investment can be considered as a factor what determines the productivity level of a country. It is actually a recipe to increase economywide productivity levels of a country. This can be achieved by investing in physical capital (all machinery and equipment used in production) and human capital (improvement of people’s productive skills through education and training). However, the increase in the general price level (or overall level of prices) in the economy within a given period of time is the description of inflation. The correct answer is B.
11.Soru
10. Which of the following defines market equilibrium?
The supply curve shifting to the right. |
Changes in price causing a change in the quantity supplied. |
The price level at which demand and supply curves meet. |
A number of non-price factors determining supply |
Individual supply curves starting at a positive point on the y-axis |
By market equilibrium, economists think of the price level at which demand and supply curves meet. At that price level the quantity demanded will be equal to the quantity supplied. As it is understood from the information given the correct answer is "C".
12.Soru
Which of the following refers to the additional revenue that a firm earns when it increases production by one more unit?
Marginal cost |
Marginal utility |
Marginal revenue |
Marginal rate of transformation |
Price elasticity of demand |
Marginal Revenue: The additional revenue that a firm earns when it increases production by one more unit
13.Soru
Which of the following can be a perfect substitute for a bottle of ice tea?
A bottle of lemonade |
A bar of chocolate |
A cup of coffee |
A kilo of apples |
A loaf of bread |
Two goods are perfect substitutes when the marginal rate of substitution of one good for the other is constant. The consumer can perfectly substitute apple juice with orange juice. This means that a perfect substitute is a good that functions just the same as the good it is being compared to. Some examples are: Coke vs Pepsi, BP Oil vs Exxon Oil, etc. The indifference curve for a perfect substitute would have no convexity because it makes no difference for consumers.
14.Soru
What is the difference between total revenue and total cost?
What is the difference between total revenue and total cost?
Production techonology |
Profit |
Fixed factor prices |
Excess revenue |
Cost |
Profit is defined as the difference between total revenue and total cost, and the objective of a firm that produces a good or service to sell is to maximize its profit.
15.Soru
I. In movie theaters low-income students buy tickets at a lower price than wage earners. II. There are also discounts for senior citizens who live on a pension income III. First T-shirt is sold at a regular price and the second one is sold at a discount IV. Business class and economy class airplane tickets are two different versions of the same product sold at the same price Which of the statements above are the examples of price discrimination?
I, II, III |
I, II, IV |
I, III, IV |
II, III, IV |
I, II, III, IV |
The last one is not an example of price discrimination. People pay more for business class tickets. The airline companies can charge a much higher price to business class tickets because of the customers’ high willingness to pay for air travel. The Correct Answer is A.
16.Soru
I. A significant factor generating variations in a land's rent can be where the land is located.
II. Similar to wages and interest, rent is another cost of production for an individual firm.
III. For a piece of land demanded for production of agricultural product there can be no alternative cost.
What can be said true for the given statements about the land market?
Only I |
Only II |
I and II |
I and III |
II and III |
I. A significant factor generating variations in a land's rent can be where the land is located. (True)
II. Similar to wages and interest, rent is another cost of production for an individual firm. (True)
III. For a piece of land demanded for production of agricultural product there can be no alternative cost. (False, A piece of land is not just demanded for production of agricultural products. First of all, people also demand it to build houses on. A government might also plan to build a highway. Finally, businesses may want to build a factory site or a warehouse. In other words, an opportunity cost that is the forsaken production from the next best use of the resource, rises from alternative uses of land.)
The answer is C
17.Soru
