Question 1.
Average fixed cost of the cost function C(x) = 2x3 + 5x2 – 14x + 21 is:

Answer:

Question 2.
Marginal revenue of the demand function p = 20 – 3x is:
(a) 20 – 6x
(b) 20 – 3x
(c) 20 + 6x
(d) 20 + 3x
Answer:
(a) 20 – 6x
Hint:
p = 20 – 3x
Revenue, R = px = (20 – 3x)x = 20x – 3x2
Marginal revenue 
Question 3.
If demand and the cost function of a firm are p = 2 – x and C = -2x2 + 2x + 7 then its profit function is:
(a) x2 + 7
(b) x2 – 7
(c) -x2 + 7
(d) -x2 – 7
Answer:
(b) x2 – 7
Hint:
Profit = Revenue – Cost
= (2 – x)x – (-2x2 + 2x + 7)
= 2x – x2 + 2x2 – 2x – 7
= x2 – 7
Question 4.
If the demand function is said to be inelastic, then:
(a) |ηd| > 1
(b) |ηd| = 1
(c) |ηd| < 1
(d) |ηd| = 0
Answer:
(a) |ηd| > 1
Question 5.
The elasticity of demand for the demand function
is
(a) 0
(b) 1

(d) ∞
Answer:
(b) 1
Hint:

Question 6.

(b) ηd = AR – MR
(c) MR = AR = ηd

Question 7.
For the cost function
the marginal cost is:

Answer:

Question 8.

(a) 4
(b) 5
(c) 13
(d) 9
Answer:
(c) 13
Hint:
y = 2x2 + 5x

(a) 50
(b) 25
(c) 100
(d) 75
Answer:
(b) 25
Hint:

Question 10.
Profit P(x) is maximum when:
(a) MR = MC
(b) MR = 0
(c) MC = AC
(d) TR = AC
Answer:
(a) MR = MC

(b) n(n – 1)f
(c) nf
(d) f
Answers:
(c) nf
Question 13.
