- Q2What is the concept of elasticity of demand in microeconomics?Elasticity of demand measures the price level at which demand becomes elasticElasticity of demand measures how responsive quantity demanded is to a change in priceElasticity of demand measures the absolute quantity demanded of a goodElasticity of demand measures the total revenue generated from a good30s
- Q3What is the law of diminishing marginal returns in microeconomics?As more units of a variable input are added to fixed inputs, the average product will continuously riseAs more units of a variable input are added to fixed inputs, the total product will increase indefinitelyAs more units of a variable input are added to fixed inputs, the marginal product of the variable input will eventually decreaseAs more units of a variable input are added to fixed inputs, the total costs will decrease30s
- Q4What is the concept of perfect competition in microeconomics?Perfect competition is a market structure with many small firms selling identical products, where no single firm has market powerPerfect competition is a market structure where prices are set by a central authorityPerfect competition is a market structure with a few large firms dominating the marketPerfect competition is a market structure where firms sell differentiated products30s

- Q7What is the difference between a normal good and an inferior good in microeconomics?A normal good is a good for which demand increases as consumer income rises, while an inferior good is a good for which demand decreases as consumer income rises.A normal good is a good for which demand increases as consumer income rises, while an inferior good is a good for which demand increases as consumer income rises.A normal good is a good for which demand decreases as consumer income rises, while an inferior good is a good for which demand decreases as consumer income rises.A normal good is a good for which demand decreases as consumer income rises, while an inferior good is a good for which demand increases as consumer income rises.30s
- Q8What is the concept of market equilibrium in microeconomics?Market equilibrium is the state where the quantity demanded by consumers exceeds the quantity supplied by producers, leading to a surplus.Market equilibrium is the state where the quantity demanded by consumers equals the quantity supplied by producers, resulting in no surplus or shortage.Market equilibrium is the state where the quantity supplied by producers exceeds the quantity demanded by consumers, resulting in a shortage.Market equilibrium is the state where both the quantity demanded and quantity supplied are zero, leading to no transactions.30s
- Q9What is the concept of consumer surplus in microeconomics?Consumer surplus is the difference between what consumers are willing to pay for a good or service and what they actually pay.Consumer surplus is the profit earned by consumers from purchasing a good or service.Consumer surplus is the total revenue generated by selling a good or service.Consumer surplus is the value of additional goods consumers are willing to buy beyond their budget.30s
- Q10What is the difference between 'marginal cost' and 'average cost' in microeconomics?Marginal cost is the total cost divided by the quantity produced, while average cost is the additional cost incurred by producing one more unit.Marginal cost is the total revenue divided by the quantity produced, while average cost is the additional cost incurred by producing one more unit.Marginal cost is the additional cost incurred by producing one more unit, while average cost is the total cost divided by the quantity produced.Marginal cost is the additional revenue earned by producing one more unit, while average cost is the total cost divided by the quantity produced.30s
- Q11What is 'perfect competition' in microeconomics?A market structure where products are differentiated and sold at different prices.A market structure with only one seller dominating the industry.A market structure with many buyers and sellers, identical products, perfect information, and no barriers to entry or exit.A market structure with limited competition and high barriers to entry.30s

- Q14What is the concept that describes the point where the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied in a market?MonopolyInflationScarcityEquilibrium30s
- Q15What principle states that there is an inverse relationship between the price of a good and the quantity demanded, holding all other factors constant?The Law of DemandThe Law of SupplyThe Law of EquilibriumThe Law of Scarcity30s
