Question : The indifference curve's slope is calculated using:
Option 1: Marginal Rate of Substitution
Option 2: Marginal Opportunity Cost
Option 3: Marginal Rate of Transformation
Option 4: None of these
Correct Answer: Marginal Rate of Substitution
Solution : The marginal rate of substitution, which determines the slope of the indifference curve, decreases when the quantity of X rises relative to the quantity of Y. Hence option a is the correct answer.
Question : Marginal rate of exchange also denotes:
Option 1: Slope of Demand Curve
Option 2: Slope of budget line
Option 3: Slope of IC Curve
Option 4: None of the above
Question : Which of the following cost curve is never 'U' shaped?
Option 1: Marginal cost curve .
Option 2: Average variable cost curve .
Option 3: Average fixed cost curve .
Option 4: Average cost curve
Question : ______shows a variety of combinations of these two products that provide the same level of satisfaction:-
Option 1: Indifference curve
Option 2: ISO quant
Option 3: Marginal utility curve
Option 4: ISO cost curve
Question : A consumer will not be in equilibrium when according to the indifference curve and price line.
Option 1: The price of retroactive items and the marginal utility ratio is the same.
Option 2: The ratio of marginal utilities of the two goods is equal to the ratio of their respective prices.
Option 3: The prices of the two items are equal, as is the marginal rate of substitution.
Option 4: Substitution's marginal rate is declining.
Question : Statement 1: An individual's indifference curve is concave to the origin.
Statement 2: The concavity of indifference curves reflects the diminishing marginal rate of substitution.
Option 1: Statement 1 is true, and statement 2 is false.
Option 2: Statement 1 is false, and statement 2 is true.
Option 3: Both statement 1 and statement 2 are true.
Option 4: Both statement 1 and statement 2 are false.
