1 ECON 2100 (Summer 2009 Section 06) Final Exam Multiple Choice Questions: (2 points each) 1. Price Elasticity of Demand is defined as A. the unique price at which Total Consumer Expenditures on a good are maximized. B. the unique price at which quantity demanded drops to zero units. C. a measure of the sensitivity of quantity demanded to a change in price, defined as the slope of the demand curve at its steepest point. D. a measure of the sensitivity of quantity demanded to a change in price, defined as the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price. 2. Suppose that demand for carrots is elastic at all prices. If the price of carrots decreased by 5%, then quantity demanded of carrots would A. increase, but by less than 5%. B. increase by exactly 5%. C. increase, but by more than 5%. D. also decrease by exactly 5%. 3. In Industry Y : the largest firm produces 25% of total industry output, the second largest firm produces 20% of total industry output, the third largest firm produces 15% of total industry output, and the fourth largest firm produces 10% of total industry output. From this information alone we know that A. this market is a Pure Monopoly. B. the value of the Four Firm Concentration Ratio is exactly equal to 70. C. the value of the Four Firm Concentration Ratio is greater than 70. D. the value of the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index must be zero. 4. Kevin sells laundry detergent door-to-door in a small, rural town in Iowa. Since he is not operating in a perfectly competitive market, he has some market power. He is currently charging $6.75 for each 64 ounce bottle of laundry detergent, a price at which he sells 400 units per month. If he increased the price of each unit to $7.50, he should expect that A. he would still be able to sell 400 units per month. B. he would no longer be able to sell 400 units per month. C. his Total Revenue would definitely increase. 5. is a market structure in which firms sell very similar products (i.e., slight differentiation ), but in which there are significant barriers to entry which prevent most potential rivals for entering the market. A. Perfect Competition B. Monopolistic Competition C. Oligopoly D. Monopoly 6. In the Short Run, the only variable input which Company X hires is labor. Suppose that the Marginal Product of Labor is always positive. When increasing the amount of labor hired from 29 units to 30, output increases from 800 units to 815 units. If the production process of this firm exhibits a Diminishing Marginal Product of Labor, then units of output would be produced if 31 units of labor were hired. A. exactly 815 B. more than 815 but fewer than 830 C. exactly 830 D. more than 830 but fewer than 845
2 7.

B. if he were to produce 25,000 units of output, his Average Fixed Costs would be equal to $2. C. he is unable to earn a positive profit in the Short Run. D. if he were to increase his level of production slightly, his Average Variable Costs would decrease in value. 39. Consider a monopolist who is charging a price of $15 for each unit of output sold.

If income provides a measure of economic capacity and average tax rate provides a measure of tax burden, then these figures could suggest that the U.S. Federal Income Tax A. should be abolished and replace with a national sales tax. B. satisfies the notion of horizontal equity. C. violates the notion of vertical equity. D. results in the rich paying too little in taxes.

For this demand function, price elasticity of demand 2 p is equal to ε = 2 at all points along the demand curve. This firm has costs of production equal to C ( q) = 30q + 500,000. From this cost function, it follows that this firm has constant marginal costs of $30 for all units produced. EC 1.
