In economics the central problem is:


scarcit#. allocation. mone#. consumption. production.

Indicate below what is NOT a factor of production.


Capital. !an" loan.

$and. $a!our.

Macroeconomics deals with:


the !ehaviour of the electronics industr#. the !ehaviour of firms. the activities of individual units. economic aggregates.

Microeconomics is not concerned with the behaviour of:


industries. aggregate demand. firms. consumers.

The study of inflation is part of :


descriptive economics. microeconomics. normative economics. macroeconomics.

Aggregate supply is the total amount:


of goods and services produced in an econom#. of products produced !# a given industr#. of la!our supplied !# all households. produced !# the government.

The total demand for goods and services in an economy is known as:
gross national product. aggregate demand. econom#-wide demand. national demand.

Inflation is:
an increase in the overall level of economic activit#. an increase in the overall price level. a decrease in the overall level of economic activit#. a decrease in the overall price level.

A recession is:
a period during which aggregate output declines.

a period of declining unemplo#ment. a period of declining prices. a period of ver# rapidl# declining prices.

nemployment means that:


at the going wage rate% there are people who want to wor" !ut cannot find wor". people are not willing to wor" at the going wage rate. there is e&cess demand in the la!our mar"et. there are some people who will not wor" at the going wage rate.

If marginal benefit is greater than marginal cost! a rational choice involves:


more of the activit#. more or less% depending on the !enefits of other activities. no more of the activit#. less of the activit#.

A student chooses to study because the marginal benefit is greater than the """""""" cost.
e&pected average

marginal total

The concept of opportunity cost:


is relevant onl# for a capitalist econom# li"e the 'nited (tates. suggests all our wants can !e achieved. suggests a ma)or increase in pu!lic health-care spending means an e&pansion in other areas will !e harder to achieve. would !e irrelevant if we eliminated povert#.

Opportunity cost is
the cost incurred in the past !efore we ma"e a decision a!out what to do in the future. a cost that cannot !e avoided% regardless of what is done in the future. that which we forgo% or give up% when we ma"e a choice or a decision. the additional !enefit of !u#ing an additional unit of a product.

A graph showing all the combinations of goods and services that can be produced if all of society#s resources are used efficiently is a:
capital consumption frontier.

production possi!ilit# curve. circular-flow diagram. $oren* curve.

$eriods of less than full employment correspond to:


points outside the production possi!ilit# curve. points inside the production possi!ilit# curve. either points inside or outside the production possi!ilit# curve. points on the production possi!ilit# curve.

The circular flow of goods and incomes shows the relationship between:
wages and salaries. goods and services. income and mone#. firms and households.

In a free market system! the amount of goods and services that any one household gets depends upon its:
wage and interest income. income and wealth. wealth.

income.

In a planned or command economy! all the economic decisions are taken by the:
government. consumers. wor"ers. voters.

%hich one of the following is a normative statement&


+ne,ualit# in the distri!ution of income is a more serious pro!lem than unemplo#ment. +nflation is rising. -he proportion of people.s income paid in ta&es is higher under this government than under the previous one. -he richest /0 per cent of the population has had a !igger percentage increase in incomes over the past /0 #ears than the poorest /0 per cent.
