Question : Why Marginal Opportunity Cost (MOC) is increasing?
Option 1: More and more units of a commodity is sacrificed to gain an additional unit
Option 2: Less and less units of a commodity is sacrificed to gain an additional unit
Option 3: More and more units of a commodity is gained to sacrifice an additional unit
Option 4: Both 2 and 3
Correct Answer: More and more units of a commodity is sacrificed to gain an additional unit
Solution : Because more and more units of a commodity are being given up in order to obtain a single additional gain unit, the marginal opportunity cost (MOC) is rising. Hence, the correct option is 1.
Question : Marginal Rate of Transformation =
Option 1: Number of units sacrificed : Number of units gained
Option 2: Number of units gained : Number of units sacrificed
Option 3: Number of units sacrificed : Number of units foregone
Option 4: Number of units attainable : Number of units gained
Question : Determine the marginal opportunity cost of 10 units of commodity X:
Option 1: MOC = 10
Option 2: MOC = 20
Option 3: MOC = 14
Option 4: MOC = 2.5
Question : The total utility from 9 units of commodity x is 20 and from 10 units is 15. Calculate the marginal utility from the 10th unit.
Option 1: 0.5
Option 2: - 0.5
Option 3: 5
Option 4: - 5
Question : Statement 1: Marginal utility is the additional satisfaction derived from consuming one additional unit of a good.
Statement 2: The law of diminishing marginal utility states that as a consumer consumes more of a good, the additional satisfaction derived from each additional unit decreases.
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.
Question : H, O and D were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 2:2:1. The partners decide to share future profits and losses in the ratio of 3:2:1. Each partner’s gain or sacrifice due to change in ratio will be :
Option 1: H Gain 3/30, O Sacrifice 2/30, D sacrifice 1/30
Option 2: H Sacrifice 3/30, O gain 2/30, D Gain 1/30
Option 3: H Sacrifice 2/30, O Sacrifice 1/30, D Gain 3/30
Option 4: None of the above
