C: an increase in the quantity ofa society's labour force. D: the improvement ofa society's technological knowledge, 3. Assume a household consumes $100 worth of goods and services per week if their weekly income is zero and they spend an additional $SO per week for each $100 of income. IfC represents consumption and Y represents income, the equation that summarises this relationship is: A: C so Y B: C= S Y C: C= SO Y D: C=SO+.1 Y 4. In the following question you are asked to determine, other things being equal, the effects of a given change in a determinant of demand or supply for product X upon: (i) the demand (D) for, or supply (S) of, X, (ii) the equilibrium price (P) of X and (iii) the equilibrium quantity (Q) ofx. An increase in income, ifx is a normal good, will: A: increase D, increase P, and increase Q. B: increase D, increase P, and decrease Q. C: increase S, increase P, and increase Q. D: decrease D, increase P, and increase Q 5. Inflation leads to A. a redistribution ofincome away from fixed income earners B. everybody being affected to the same degree 2
3 C. lower taxation revenues ofthe central government D. increase in the purchasing power ofthe Fiji dollar. 6. Ifthe price ofnormal good X rises, the income effect: A: and substitution effect will induce the consumer to buy less ofx. B: and substitution effect will induce the consumer to buy more ofx. C: will induce the consumer to buy more ofx, and the substitution effect will induce him to buy less. D: will induce the consumer to buy less of X, and the substitution effect will induce him to buy more. 7. A decision by the central government to encourage industry to decentralise its operation to country locations would mostly aimed at correcting J A seasonal unemployment. B. structural unemployment. C. cyclical unemployment. D. frictional unemployment. 8. For food items such as bread and milk, income elasticity tends to be A. zero. B. greater than one. C. equal to one. D. greater than zero. 9. The marginal rate of substitution measures: A: the magnitude ofthe substitution effect. B: the total utility received by a consumer when equilibrium is achieved. C: the extra utility which a consumer derives from successive units of a product. D: the consumer's willingness to substitute one product for another so that total utility will remain constant. lo:the effect of contractionary monetary policy on aggregate demand can be: A a higher level of economic growth. B. a lower budget deficit. C. a lower value ofthe dollar. D. an increase in welfare payments. 3
4 11. The kinked demand curve model he]ps to explain price rigidity because: A: there is a gap in the marginal revenue curve, within which changes in marginal cost will not affect output or price. B: demand is inelastic above and elastic below the 'going' price. c: the model assumes firms are engaging in some form ofcollusion. D: the associated marginal revenue curve is perfectly elastic at the 'going' price. 12. The market system fails to produce public goods because: A: there is no need or demand for such goods. B: private firms cannot restrict the benefits of such goods to consumers who are willing to pay for them. C: public enterprises can produce such goods at a lower cost than can private enterprises. D: their production seriously distorts the distribution of income. 13. Olivia Ariderson grows tomatoes for home consumption. This activity is: A: excluded from GDP in order to avoid double counting. B: excluded from GDP because an intermediate good is involved. C: productive activity, but is excluded from GDP because no market transaction occurs. D: included in GDP because it reflects production. 14. An increase in aggregate expenditures (aggregate expenditures model) resulting from some factor, other than a change in the price level, is equivalent to: A: a rightward shift ofthe aggregate demand curve in the AD-AS model. B: a leftward shift of the aggregate demand curve in the AD-AS model. c: a movement downward along a fixed aggregate demand curve in the AD-AS model. D: a decrease in aggregate supply in the AD-AS model. 15 Which ofthe following is correct? A: The asset demand for money is downsloping because the opportunity cost of holding money declines as the interest rate rises. B: The asset demand for money is downsloping because the opportunity cost of holding money increases as the interest rate rises. C: The transactions demand for money is downsloping because the opportunity cost of holding money varies inversely with the interest rate. D: The asset demand for money is downsloping because bond prices and the interest rate are directly related. 4
5 16. If the Reserve Bank were to purchase government securities in the open market, we would anticipate: A: lower interest rates, an expanded GDP, and depreciation of the dollar. B: lower interest rates, an expanded GDP, and appreciation of the dollar. C: higher interest rates, a contracted GDP, and depreciation of the dollar. D: lower interest rates, a contracted GDP, and appreciation ofthe dollar. 17. The elasticity ofresource demand will be greater, the: A: smaller the portion of the product's total costs accounted for by the resource. B: less the elasticity of demand for the product it is producing. C: larger the number of substitute resources which are available. D: more rapid the rate ofdecline in its marginal product. 18. Economidts are frequently critical ofthe minimum wage because it: A: has a deflationary effect upon the price level. B: tends to reduce the number ofavailable job opportunities. C: conflicts with policies designed to equalise the distribution ofincome. D: causes labour shortages in affected markets 19. A rightward shift ofthe production possibilities curve means that: A: both potential real GDP and potential real GDP per person have increased.
