Microeconomics Practice Test - 2: Demand, Supply, and Equilibrium - An Overview
Click on the correct option. Text colour will change into green if your chosen option is corret and if it is wrong, it will change into red:
- In drawing an individual’s demand curve for a commodity, all but which one of the following are kept constant?
- The individual’s money income
- the price of other commodities
- the price of the commodity under consideration
- the tastes of the individual
- The individual’s demand curve for a commodity represents
- a maximum boundary of the individual’s intentions
- a minimum boundary of the individual’s intentions
- both a maximum and a minimum boundary of the individual’s intentions
- neither a maximum nor a minimum boundary of the individual’s intentions
- A fall in the price of a commodity, holding everything else constant, results in and is referred to as
- an increase in demand
- a decrease in demand
- an increase in the quantity demanded
- a decrease in the quantit demanded
- When an individual’s income rises (while everything else remains the same), that person’s demand for a normal good
- rises
- falls
- remains the same
- any of the above
- When an individual’s income falls (while everything else remains the same), that person’s demand for an inferior good
- increases
- decreases
- remains unchanged
- we cannot say without additional information
- When the price of a substitute of commodity X falls, the demand for X
- rises
- falls
- remains unchanged
- any of the above
- When both the price of a substitute and the price of a complement of commodity X rise, the demand for X
- rises
- falls
- remains unchanged
- all of the above are possible
- In drawing a farmer’s supply curve for a commodity, all but which one of the following are kept constant?
- Technology
- the prices of inputs
- features of nature such as climate and weather conditions
- the price of the commodity under consideration
- A producer’s positively sloped supply curve for a commodity represents
- a maximum boundary of the producer’s intentions
- a minimum boundary of the producer’s intentions
- in one sense a maximum and in another sense a minimum boundary of the producer’s intentions
- none of the above
- If the supply curve of a commodity is positively sloped, a rise in the price of the commodity, ceteris paribus, results in and is referred to as
- an increase in supply
- an increase in the quantity supplied
- a decrease in supply
- a decrease in the quantity supplied
- When the market supply curve for a commodity is negatively sloped, we have a case of
- stable equilibrium
- unstable equilibrium
- any of the above is possible and we cannot say without additional information
- None of the above
- If, from a position of stable equilibrium, the market supply of a commodity decreases while the market demand remains unchanged
- the equilibrium price falls
- the equilibrium quantity rises
- both the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity decrease
- the equilibrium price rises but the equilibrium quantity falls
