What is meant by market equilibrium?When price is at its maximum levelWhen market demand equals market supplyWhen supply is greater than demandWhen demand is greater than supplyQuestion 1 of 202. What is the price at which equilibrium is reached called?Market priceMinimum priceEquilibrium priceReservation priceQuestion 2 of 203. What is called the equilibrium quantity?Quantity bought and sold at the equilibrium priceQuantity supplied at the highest priceQuantity demanded below equilibrium priceQuantity left unsoldQuestion 3 of 204. When market supply is greater than market demand at a given price, what exists?EquilibriumExcess demandShortageExcess supplyQuestion 4 of 205. What happens to price when there is excess demand in a perfectly competitive market?Price tends to risePrice remains fixedPrice becomes zeroPrice tends to fallQuestion 5 of 206. What happens to price when there is excess supply?Price tends to increasePrice tends to decreasePrice becomes equal to zeroPrice does not changeQuestion 6 of 207. Graphically, where does market equilibrium occur?At the highest point of the demand curveAt the lowest point of the supply curveAt the intersection of demand and supply curvesAt any point on the demand curveQuestion 7 of 208. In Example 5.1, what is the equilibrium price of wheat?Rs 20 per kgRs 30 per kgRs 50 per kgRs 40 per kgQuestion 8 of 209. In Example 5.1, what is the equilibrium quantity of wheat?160 kg120 kg180 kg200 kgQuestion 9 of 2010. In the wheat example, what happens at a price of Rs 25?Supply equals demandExcess demand existsExcess supply existsEquilibrium is reachedQuestion 10 of 2011. What is the algebraic expression for excess demand in Example 5.1?2p − 80120 − 2p80 − 2p200 − 2pQuestion 11 of 2012. At a price higher than the equilibrium price, which situation occurs?Excess demandZero supplyZero demandExcess supplyQuestion 12 of 2013. In the labour market, who supplies labour?HouseholdsFirmsGovernmentConsumers onlyQuestion 13 of 2014. In the labour market, who demands labour?HouseholdsFirmsGovernmentWorkersQuestion 14 of 2015. In the chapter, labour refers to:Number of workers onlyTotal populationHours of work provided by labourersNumber of firmsQuestion 15 of 2016. At what point does a profit-maximising firm employ labour?When wage is greater than marginal revenue productWhen marginal product is zeroWhen wage is less than zeroWhen wage equals marginal revenue product of labourQuestion 16 of 2017. What is the formula for marginal revenue product of labour?MRPₗ = MR × MPₗMRPₗ = MR + MPₗMRPₗ = MR − MPₗMRPₗ = MR ÷ MPₗQuestion 17 of 2018. In a perfectly competitive firm, marginal revenue is equal to:Wage ratePrice of the commodityAverage costTotal costQuestion 18 of 2019. Why is the demand curve for labour downward sloping?Because wages never changeBecause firms always hire more labourBecause of diminishing marginal productivity of labourBecause supply is fixedQuestion 19 of 2020. What is the shape of the individual labour supply curve described in the chapter?HorizontalVerticalStraight upward slopingBackward bendingQuestion 20 of 20 Loading...
