The prices paid for resources affect A. the money incomes of households in the economy B. the allocation of resources among different firms and industries in the economy C. the quantities of different resources employed to produce a particular product D. all of the above 2. The demand for a resource is derived from the A. marginal productivity of the resource and price of the good or service produced from it B. marginal productivity of the resource and the price of the resource C. price of the resource and the price of the good or service produced from it D. price of the resource and the quantity of the resource demanded 3. The law of diminishing returns explains why A. the MRP of an input in a purely competitive market decreases as a firm increases the quantity of an employed resource B. the MRC of an input in a purely competitive market decreases as a firm increases the quantity of an employed resource C. resource demand is a derived demand D. there are substitution and output effects for resources Use the following table for a purely competitive market to answer questions At a wage rate of $15, the firm will choose to employ A. 2 workers B. 3 workers C. 4 workers D. 5 workers 5. At a wage rate of $30, the firm will choose to employ A. 2 workers B. 3 workers C. 4 workers D. 5 workers 6. If the product price increases to a constant $8, then at a wage rate of $30 the firm will choose to employ A. 2 workers B. 3 workers C. 4 workers D. 5 workers Use the graph below to answer questions Assume that the quantities of other resources the firm employs remain constant. 7. If the product the firm produces sells for a constant $3 per unit, the marginal revenue product of the 4th unit of the resource is A. $3 B. $6 C. $9 D. $12 8. If the firm's product sells for a constant $3 per unit and the price of the resource is a constant $15, the firm will employ how many units of the resource? A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D If the firm can sell 14 units of output at a price of $1 per unit and 18 units of output at a price of $0.90 per unit, the marginal revenue product of the 3rd unit of the resource is A. $4 B. $3.60 C. $2.20 D. $0.40
2 10. If the firm can sell 8 units at a price of $1.50, 14 units at a price of $1.00, 18 units at a price of $0.90, 21 units at a price of $0.70, and 23 units at a price of $0.50, then the firm is A. maximizing profits at a product price of $0.50 B. minimizing its costs at a product price of $1.00 C. selling in an imperfectly competitive market D. selling in a purely competitive market 11. As a firm that sells its product in an imperfectly competitive market increases the quantity of a resource it employs, the marginal revenue product of that resource falls because A. the price paid by the firm for the resource falls B. the marginal product of the resource falls C. the price at which the firm sells its product falls D. both the marginal product and the price at which the firm sells its product fall 12. Which of the following would increase a firm's demand for a particular resource? A. an increase in the prices of complementary resources used by the firm B. a decrease in the demand for the firm's product C. an increase in the productivity of the resource D. an increase in the price of the particular resource 13. The substitution effect indicates that a firm will use A. more of an input whose relative price has decreased B. more of an input whose relative price has increased C. less of an input whose relative price has decreased D. less of an input whose relative price has remained constant 14. Two resource inputs, capital and labor, are complementary and used in fixed proportions. A decrease in the price of capital will A. increase the demand for labor B. decrease the demand for labor C. decrease the quantity demanded for labor D. have no effect because the relationship is fixed 16. A firm is allocating its expenditure for resources in a way that will result in the least total cost of producing any given output when the A. amount the firm spends on each resource is the same B. marginal revenue product of each resource is the same C. marginal product of each resource is the same D. marginal product per dollar spent on the last unit of each resource is the same 17. A business is employing inputs such that the marginal product of labor is 20 and the marginal product of capital is 45. The price of labor is $10 and the price of capital is $15. If the business wants to minimize costs, then it should A. use more labor and less capital B. use less labor and less capital C. use less labor and more capital D. make no change in resource use 18. Assume that a profit-maximizing computer disk manufacturer is employing resources so that the MRP of the last unit hired for resource X is $240 and the MRP of the last unit hired for resource Y is $150. The price of resource X is $80 and the price of resource Y is $50. The firm should A. hire more of resource X and less of resource Y B. hire less of resource X and more of resource Y C. hire less of both resource X and resource Y D. hire more of both resource X and resource Y 19. A firm that hires resources in a purely competitive market is not maximizing its profits when A. the marginal revenue product of every resource is equal to 1 B. the marginal revenue product of every resource is equal to its price C. the ratio of the marginal revenue product of every resource to its price is equal to 1 D. the ratio of the price of every resource to its marginal revenue product is equal to 1
3 Use the table below to answer the following question. 20. Assume that a purely competitive firm uses two resources -- labor (L) and capital (C) -- to produce a product. In which situation would the firm be maximizing profit? A. A B. B C. C D. D 21. A characteristic of a purely competitive labor market would be A. firms hiring different types of labor B. workers supplying labor under a union contract C. wage taker behavior by the firms D. price maker behavior by the firms 22. The supply curve for labor in a purely competitive market is upward sloping because A. opportunity costs are rising B. the marginal resource cost is constant C. the wage rate paid to workers falls D. the marginal revenue product rises 23. The individual firm which hires labor under purely competitive conditions faces a supply curve for labor which A. is perfectly inelastic B. is of unitary elasticity C. is perfectly elastic D. slopes upward from left to right 24. All of the following are characteristics of a monopsonist except: A. there is only a single buyer of a particular kind of labor B. the type of labor is relatively immobile C. the wage rate it must pay workers varies directly with the number of workers it employs D. the supply curve is the marginal resource cost curve 25. A monopsonist pays a wage rate which is A. greater than the marginal revenue product of labor B. equal to the marginal revenue product of labor C. equal to the firm's marginal labor cost D. less than the marginal revenue product of labor 26. If a firm employs resources in imperfectly competitive markets, to maximize its profits the marginal revenue product of each resource must equal A. its marginal product B. its marginal resource cost C. its price D Compared with a purely competitive labor market, a monopsonistic market will result in A. higher wage rates and a higher level of B. higher wage rates and a lower level of C. lower wage rates and a higher level of D. lower wage rates and a lower level of 28. Which would increase the demand for a particular type of labor? A. a decrease in the wages of that type of labor B. an increase in the prices of those resources which are substitutes for that type of labor C. an increase in the prices of the resources which are complements to that type of labor D. a decrease in the demand for the products produced by that type of labor 29.
