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) |η_d| > 1
(b) |η_d| = 1
(c) |η_d| < 1
(d) |η_d| = 0
Answer:
(a) |η_d| > 1

(a) 0
(b) 1

(d) ∞
Answer:
(b) 1
Hint:

Question 6.
Relationship among MR, AR and ηd is:

(b) η_d = AR – MR
(c) MR = AR = η_d

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

Question 9.

(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

Question 11.

(a) 1

Answer:
(a) 1
Hint:
When   sin x is maximum.
Maximum value is

is equal to:
(a) (n – 1)f
(b) n(n – 1)f
(c) nf
(d) f
Answers:
(c) nf

Question 13.
If u = 4x² + 4xy + y² + 4x + 32y + 16, then   
 is equal to:
(a) 8x + 4y + 4
(b) 4
(c) 2y + 32
(d) 0
Answer:
(b) 4
Hint:
u = 4x² + 4xy + y² + 4x + 32y + 16

(a) 3
(b) 6y
(c) 6x
(d) 2
Answer:
(b) 6y
Hint:
u = x³ + 3xy² + y³

Question 15.
