Consider a consumer who wants to consume only two commodities and
has an income of $100. Assume the price of good 1 is $10 per unit and
the price of good 2 is $20 per unit. Now, inflation causes the price
of good 1 to increase to $20 per unit, while the price of good 2
increases to $25 per unit. On the other hand, the consumer also gets a
raise of $100 (so her new income is $200). Is she better off or worse
off?
Suppose the prices of the commodities A and B are p1 and p2
respectively. The consumer purchases X1 unit of A and X2 units of B.
Suppose, the consumer has an income denoted by M and THE CONSUMER
WOULD SPEND THE ENTIRE AMOUNT OF M ON THESE TWO COMMODITIES. How are
p1, p2, X1, X2 and M related?
Consider the market for sewing machine. The demand for sewing machine is represented by the equation: P = 110 – 20QD and the supply of sewing machine is represented by the equation: P = 10 + 5QS.
a) Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity of sewing machine.
b) If the market price becomes $45, what will happen to demand and supply of sewing machines in the market?
The monopolistic competitor faces a demand curve given by Q (p) = 50−5p. Its cost function is C(y) = 4y. What is its optimal level of output and price?

Which of the following statements does not describe the relationship between production functions and cost curves?
|
Production functions and cost curves are unrelated. |
||
|
The shapes of the average product and marginal product functions are inverses of the shapes of average cost and marginal cost. |
||
|
If the production function exhibits constant returns to scale, both long-run average and long-run marginal costs will be constant regardless of output. |
||
|
If some inputs are held constant in the short run, diminishing returns to those inputs that are variable will result in average and marginal costs increasing as output expands. |
For a country, the domestic price of a product will equal
the world price.
a. when the domestic supply of the product increases.
b. when the country allows free trade.
c. when trade restrictions are imposed on the product.
d. if the country chooses to export and not import the product.
