Frage 1 Bericht
The decision to consume more of one product under normal circumstances will apply
Antwortdetails
The decision to consume more of one product under normal circumstances will **result in less consumption of another product**. When we have a limited amount of resources, we can only allocate them in certain ways. This is true for both individuals and businesses. If we choose to consume more of one product, it means we are using some of our resources to produce more of that product. As a result, we have less resources available to produce or consume other products. Let's take an example to understand this concept better. Suppose you have $10 to spend on food, and you can either choose to buy more fruits or more vegetables. If you decide to buy more fruits, it means you are allocating more of your budget towards fruits. As a result, you will have less money left to buy vegetables. On the other hand, if you decide to buy more vegetables, it means you are allocating more of your budget towards vegetables, and you will have less money left to buy fruits. Similarly, in a market economy, if consumers decide to buy more of one product (like smartphones), the demand for that product increases. This leads to an increase in production and consumption of smartphones. However, the resources used to produce smartphones are limited. Therefore, the production of other products (like laptops or tablets) may decrease because fewer resources are available to produce them. In conclusion, when the decision is made to consume more of one product, it generally means that less of another product will be consumed. This is because resources are limited and need to be allocated among different options.
Frage 2 Bericht
The marginal propensity to consume is
Antwortdetails
The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is a measure of how much of an increase in income is typically spent on consumption. It is represented by the symbol c or ΔC/ΔY. To explain it simply, the MPC tells us the proportion of additional income that is used for consumption rather than saving or other purposes. For example, if the MPC is 0.8, it means that for every additional unit of income, 0.8 units are typically spent on consumption. The MPC can also be understood as the slope of the consumption function. The consumption function is a mathematical relationship between income and consumption. The MPC represents how much consumption changes for a given change in income. In the equation C = C + cYd, the coefficient c represents the MPC. This equation shows that consumption (C) is determined by autonomous consumption (C) plus the product of the MPC (c) and disposable income (Yd). In summary, the MPC is a measure of how much additional income is typically used for consumption. It can be represented as ΔC/ΔY, the slope of the consumption function, or the coefficient c in the consumption equation.
Frage 3 Bericht
An increase in nominal income without increase in price will result to
Antwortdetails
An increase in nominal income without an increase in prices will result in an **increased real income**. Nominal income refers to the amount of money a person earns or receives in a given period, without taking into account changes in prices. On the other hand, real income takes into consideration the effects of inflation by adjusting for changes in prices. When nominal income increases but prices remain constant, it means that the purchasing power of an individual's income has increased. In other words, they can afford to buy more goods and services with the same amount of money. This increase in purchasing power leads to an increase in real income. For example, let's say a person's nominal income is $1,000 per month, and the prices of goods and services they consume also remain constant. If their nominal income increases to $1,200 per month, without any increase in prices, they now have an additional $200 to spend on other things. This additional purchasing power translates to an increase in their real income. It is important to note that an increase in nominal income without an increase in prices does not necessarily lead to an **increased GDP** or a **decreased GNP**. GDP (Gross Domestic Product) measures the total value of goods and services produced within a country's borders, while GNP (Gross National Product) measures the total value of goods and services produced by a country's residents, including those produced abroad. The increase in real income of individuals does not automatically impact the overall production levels captured by GDP or GNP.

It expresses ideological judgments about what may results in economic activity if public policy changes are made.
Frage 5 Bericht
Part-time workers who desire full-time employment are:
Antwortdetails
Part-time workers who desire full-time employment are classified as underemployed and contribute to the unemployment statistic.
Underemployment refers to a situation where individuals are working fewer hours than they would like or in jobs that do not utilize their skills and qualifications fully. In this case, part-time workers who desire full-time employment are considered underemployed because they are not able to secure the desired amount of work hours.
These underemployed workers contribute to the unemployment statistic because they are actively seeking additional work hours to meet their employment needs. They are considered part of the labor force because they are willing and available to work more hours, but they have not been able to find full-time employment.
It is important to note that not all underemployed workers contribute to the unemployment statistic. Some may choose to work part-time for personal reasons, such as family responsibilities or pursuing education. These individuals, although underemployed, are not actively seeking additional work hours and therefore do not contribute to the unemployment statistic.
However, in the case of individuals who are part-time workers and desire full-time employment, their underemployment status reflects the inadequacy of available job opportunities. They increase the count of unemployed individuals because they are willing and actively searching for additional work.
It is worth mentioning that cyclical unemployment is a different type of unemployment. It occurs when there is a downturn in the economy, causing a decrease in overall demand for goods and services, and subsequently, a decrease in the demand for labor. Cyclical unemployment is not directly related to the part-time workers' desire for full-time employment.

Frage 7 Bericht
All of the following describes conditions necessary for existence of a perfect market EXCEPT
Antwortdetails
A perfect market is a theoretical concept that represents an idealized scenario where certain conditions are met. In this market, there is an equilibrium between supply and demand, and no single buyer or seller has the power to influence prices. In order for a perfect market to exist, there are several conditions that need to be met. These conditions include: - **Lack of homogeneity of goods**: In a perfect market, goods are assumed to be identical and indistinguishable from one another. This means that there are no variations in quality, features, or brand identity. Buyers are indifferent to which seller they purchase from since the goods are the same. - **Perfect knowledge**: Another crucial condition is that all buyers and sellers in the market have access to complete and accurate information. This means they know the current market prices, availability of goods, and all relevant factors influencing the buying and selling decisions. No hidden or asymmetric information exists that could give an advantage to any market participant. - **Large buyers and sellers**: A perfect market assumes that there are a significant number of buyers and sellers in the market. This ensures that no single buyer or seller has enough market power to influence prices or control the market conditions. Each participant is a price taker, meaning they accept the prevailing market price and cannot change it on their own. - **Portability of goods**: The final condition for a perfect market is the ease with which goods can be transported from one place to another. This means that there are no significant barriers to trade, such as transportation costs, tariffs, or restrictions. Goods can freely move between buyers and sellers, allowing for efficient market operations. Now, looking at the given options, we need to identify the one that does NOT describe a condition necessary for the existence of a perfect market. And that would be **"lack of homogeneity of goods"**. In a perfect market, goods are assumed to be identical and indistinguishable. This means that there are no variations in quality or features. Homogeneity is a vital characteristic of a perfect market, so the lack of it would hinder the existence of a perfect market. In summary, the conditions required for a perfect market are: perfect knowledge, large buyers and sellers, and portability of goods. While homogeneity of goods is a necessary condition for a perfect market, it is not described in the options as a condition necessary for the existence of a perfect market.
Frage 8 Bericht
Which of the following Age group belongs to active Labour force?
Antwortdetails
The age group that belongs to the active labor force is the **18 - 64 years** category. This age range is generally considered to be the working-age population, as it encompasses individuals who are old enough to work and have not yet reached the age of retirement. People in this age group are typically in their prime working years, where they have the physical ability and the necessary skills and knowledge to actively participate in the labor market. They are often seeking employment, working in various industries or sectors, and contributing to the economic growth and development of their country. It is important to note that the specific age range considered as the working-age population may vary slightly across different countries or regions. However, in most cases, it generally falls within the **18 - 64 years** age bracket. On the other hand, the other age groups mentioned in the options are not typically considered as part of the active labor force: - The **0 - 17 years** age group consists of individuals who are below the legal working age and are typically attending school or dependent on others for their livelihood. - The **15 - 25 years** age group partially overlaps with the working-age population, but it includes individuals who may still be in school or pursuing higher education. While some individuals within this age range may be actively seeking employment or working part-time, they are generally not considered as the core active labor force. - The **65 years and above** age group represents individuals who have reached the retirement age or are eligible for retirement benefits. While some individuals in this age range may continue to work, either out of choice or due to financial circumstances, they are not considered as the primary active labor force. In summary, the **18 - 64 years** age group is the one that belongs to the active labor force, consisting of individuals who are in their prime working years and actively participating in the labor market.
Frage 9 Bericht
The maximum price is
Antwortdetails
The maximum price is **P4**. To explain why, we need to understand that the prices are listed in ascending order. This means that **P1** is the lowest price and **P4** is the highest price. When we say "maximum price," we are referring to the highest possible price among the given options. In this case, **P4** is the highest price listed. Therefore, the maximum price is **P4**.
Frage 10 Bericht
Antwortdetails
The measure that represents the natural growth rate of a population is the **Birth rate minus the Death rate**, which is the second option. The natural growth rate of a population refers to the rate at which the population increases or decreases due to births and deaths, without taking into account migration. It solely focuses on the difference between the number of births and the number of deaths occurring within a population during a specific period of time. When the birth rate exceeds the death rate, it results in a positive natural growth rate, meaning the population is increasing. On the other hand, if the death rate is higher than the birth rate, it leads to a negative natural growth rate, indicating a decrease in the population. The first option, "Natural increase - Birth rate + Net migration," takes into account both the birth rate and the net migration (the difference between the number of people migrating into and out of a population in a specific period). This measure considers factors beyond just births and deaths, so it does not accurately represent the natural growth rate. The third option, "Birth rate/Death rate," is a ratio of the birth rate to the death rate. It does not give a measure of the natural growth rate itself, but rather shows the relationship between the number of births and the number of deaths. The fourth option, "Birth + Net migration = Death," suggests an equality between the sum of births and net migration and the number of deaths. This equation does not accurately represent the natural growth rate since it assumes that the number of births and net migration should exactly match the number of deaths, which is unlikely in most populations. Therefore, the most appropriate measure for the natural growth rate of a population is the **Birth rate minus the Death rate**.
Frage 11 Bericht
The quantity of commodity a consumer is willing and able to buy at a particular time is called
Antwortdetails
The quantity of a commodity that a consumer is willing and able to buy at a particular time is called demand.
Demand refers to the consumer's desire or willingness to purchase a specific product or service at a given price and at a given time. It represents the customer's intent to buy and the amount they are willing to buy at various price levels.
It is important to note that demand is not just about the desire for a particular item, but also the consumer's ability to pay for it. For example, someone may wish or desire to buy a luxury car, but if they do not have the financial means to afford it, their demand for that car is limited.
In summary, demand is the quantity of a commodity that a consumer is both willing and able to buy at a given time, reflecting their desire for the product and their ability to pay for it.
Frage 12 Bericht
The part of income after tax that is not consumed is defined as
Antwortdetails
The part of income after tax that is not consumed is defined as saving. Saving refers to the portion of income that is not spent on immediate consumption and is instead put aside for future use.
When we receive our income, we typically have various expenses to cover, such as bills, groceries, and entertainment. After deducting these expenses and taxes, we are left with a certain amount of money. If we choose not to spend this remaining amount and instead keep it for later, we are saving that money.
Saving is important because it allows us to build up financial security and prepare for unexpected expenses or future goals. It can also be used for long-term investments, such as buying a house or planning for retirement.
In summary, saving is the part of our income that we choose to set aside rather than using it immediately for consumption.
Frage 13 Bericht
Which of the following would not be a reason for a government to impose a quota on imports?
Antwortdetails
A quota on imports is a restriction imposed by a government on the quantity of goods that can be imported into a country. It is typically done to protect domestic industries and promote economic growth.
Out of the given options, a government imposing a quota on imports would not be done to decrease tax revenue. In fact, the purpose of implementing import quotas is quite the opposite – to increase tax revenue by protecting domestic industries and promoting their growth.
Let's understand this further:
1. To support strategic industry: One of the main reasons governments impose import quotas is to protect and support domestic industries that are considered strategically important for the country's economy. By limiting imports, the government aims to give domestic industries an advantage by reducing competition from foreign firms.
2. To prevent dumping: Dumping refers to the practice of selling goods in another country at prices lower than their production costs or market value. This undermines domestic industries and poses a threat to their survival. By imposing import quotas, the government can control the influx of dumped products and protect domestic industries from unfair competition.
3. To decrease tax revenue: This option is incorrect because imposing import quotas does not aim to decrease tax revenue. When imports are restricted, domestic industries have less competition, which allows them to charge higher prices. As a result, the government can collect more tax revenue from these higher-priced goods, thus increasing its overall revenue.
4. Employment opportunity: Another reason governments may impose import quotas is to create employment opportunities. By limiting imports, domestic industries can expand their production and hire more workers to meet the local demand. This helps in reducing unemployment and improving the overall economic conditions of the country.
In conclusion, the correct answer is that a government would not impose a quota on imports to decrease tax revenue. Import quotas are intended to protect strategic industries, prevent dumping, and create employment opportunities, while also increasing tax revenue.
Frage 14 Bericht
The diagram above represent
Antwortdetails
The diagram above represents the production possibility curve.
The production possibility curve shows the different combinations of goods and services that can be produced given the available resources and technology.
On the curve, each point represents a specific combination of goods and services that can be produced. Points on the curve are considered efficient because all available resources are fully utilized. Points inside the curve represent inefficient production because resources are not fully utilized. Points outside the curve represent combinations that are currently unattainable given the available resources and technology.
In summary, the production possibility curve helps us understand the trade-offs and limitations in production based on available resources and technology. It is a visual representation of the production possibilities in an economy.
Frage 15 Bericht
The law of supply states that, other things being constant, as price increases
Antwortdetails
The law of supply states that, other things being constant, as price increases, the quantity supplied also increases. Basically, when the price of a good or service goes up, suppliers have an incentive to produce and sell more of that item. This is because they can earn more profit by selling at the higher price. So, as the price rises, suppliers are motivated to increase their production and offer more of the product to the market. On the other hand, when the price of a good or service decreases, suppliers have less motivation to produce and sell it. This is because they can earn less profit or even incur losses at the lower price. As a result, they will reduce the quantity supplied. In summary, the law of supply tells us that there is a direct relationship between price and quantity supplied. When the price increases, suppliers respond by increasing the quantity they are willing to supply to the market. Conversely, when the price decreases, the quantity supplied decreases.
Frage 16 Bericht
The demand for a good is price inelastic if
Antwortdetails
The demand for a good is price inelastic if the price elasticity is less than one. Price elasticity measures how responsive the quantity demanded of a good is to a change in its price. If the price elasticity is less than one, it means that the quantity demanded is not very responsive to changes in price. In other words, a change in price will have a relatively small impact on the quantity demanded. Even if the price increases or decreases, people will still buy a similar amount of the good. This can happen when the good is a necessity or when there are limited substitutes available. For example, if the price of water increases, people will still need to buy a similar amount because water is essential for survival. Similarly, if the price of a specific medication increases, people with no alternative options will still purchase it regardless of the price. Therefore, when the price elasticity is less than one, we say that the demand for the good is price inelastic.
Frage 17 Bericht
Institutions serving as links between surplus and deficit units can be identified as
Antwortdetails
Financial intermediaries serve as links between surplus and deficit units in an economy. These intermediaries include banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions. When there is surplus money in the economy, individuals and businesses deposit the excess funds with financial intermediaries. These intermediaries then pool these funds together and make them available to deficit units, such as individuals or businesses in need of loans or financing. Financial intermediaries play a crucial role in the economy by efficiently allocating funds from surplus units to deficit units. They match the needs of borrowers with the resources of savers, helping to facilitate economic growth and development. Tax officers and pension offices, on the other hand, do not serve as direct links between surplus and deficit units. Tax officers collect taxes for the government, while pension offices manage pension funds for retired individuals. Although these entities may indirectly impact the allocation of funds in the economy, their primary roles are different from that of financial intermediaries. Acceptance houses are also not direct links between surplus and deficit units. Acceptance houses provide short-term financing through the purchase of bills of exchange. While they play a role in facilitating trade between businesses, their function is more specific and limited compared to the broader role of financial intermediaries. In summary, financial intermediaries such as banks and credit unions serve as the primary links between surplus and deficit units in an economy. They gather surplus funds from savers and make them available to borrowers, thereby promoting the efficient allocation of resources.

Antwortdetails
Economics is often described as a science because it uses scientific methods to explain observed phenomena. Just like other scientific fields, economics relies on gathering data, formulating hypotheses, and conducting experiments to test these hypotheses. However, unlike fields such as physics or chemistry, economics does not rely on laboratory experiments or controlled experiments. Instead, economists analyze real-world data to understand how individuals, businesses, and governments make choices and interact with each other. They use statistical methods to analyze this data and make predictions about how changes in various factors will affect economic outcomes. While it is difficult to accurately predict the behavior of individual human beings, economics aims to make accurate predictions on aggregate behavior, or how groups of people will respond to changes in factors such as prices, taxes, or policies. These predictions are based on the analysis of historical data and the use of economic models, which simplify complex economic interactions. In summary, economics is considered a science because it employs scientific methods to explain observed phenomena, although it does not rely on laboratory experiments or controlled experiments. It uses data analysis, hypothesis testing, and economic models to understand and predict how individuals and groups make economic decisions and interact with each other.

Frage 20 Bericht
Calculate the equilibrium level of national income (Y) where Y = C + I + G; C = 100 + 0.75Y; I = 50; G = 200
Antwortdetails
To calculate the equilibrium level of national income (Y), we start with the equation Y = C + I + G. In this equation, C represents consumption spending, I represents investment spending, and G represents government spending. Now, let's substitute the given values into the equation: C = 100 + 0.75Y I = 50 G = 200 Substituting these values, we get: Y = (100 + 0.75Y) + 50 + 200 To solve for Y, we need to simplify the equation: Y = 100 + 0.75Y + 50 + 200 Combining like terms, we have: Y = 350 + 0.75Y Next, we can solve for Y by isolating it on one side of the equation. To do this, we can subtract 0.75Y from both sides: Y - 0.75Y = 350 Simplifying further, we have: 0.25Y = 350 Finally, we can solve for Y by dividing both sides of the equation by 0.25: Y = 350 / 0.25 Calculating this, we find: Y = 1400 So, the equilibrium level of national income (Y) is 1400.
Frage 21 Bericht
The type of price elasticity of demand for a commodity whose quantity demanded remain unchanged despite changes in the price is
Antwortdetails
The type of price elasticity of demand for a commodity whose quantity demanded remains unchanged despite changes in the price is **perfectly inelastic**. When the demand for a commodity is perfectly inelastic, it means that the quantity demanded does not respond at all to changes in price. This usually occurs when there are no close substitutes for the commodity, or when the commodity is a necessity that people cannot easily do without. To understand it in a simple way, imagine a situation where the price of a life-saving medication for a critical illness increases significantly. In such a case, even if the price increases, the quantity demanded for the medication will remain the same because the individuals who need it have no other option but to purchase it at any cost. Therefore, the demand for such a medication is perfectly inelastic, as it does not change with variations in price. In summary, when the demand for a commodity is perfectly inelastic, it means that consumers are willing to pay any price for it, and the quantity demanded does not change despite fluctuations in price.
Frage 22 Bericht
An increase in money income with constant price results in
Antwortdetails
When there is an increase in money income but the prices of goods and services remain the same, it will result in an outward shift in the budget line. To understand this, let's imagine a simple scenario where a person has a fixed amount of money to spend on different goods and services. This fixed amount of money represents their income. Now, if their income increases but the prices of goods and services they want to buy stay the same, they will have more money to spend. This means they can afford to buy more of each item. As a result, the budget line, which shows the different combinations of goods and services that can be bought with a given income, will shift outward. This indicates that they can now afford to buy a greater quantity of goods and services than before. Therefore, the correct answer is an "outward shift in the budget line" when there is an increase in money income with constant prices.

Frage 25 Bericht
Which of the following is the resultant effect of a fall in the profit margin of producers in an economy?
Antwortdetails
A fall in the profit margin of producers in an economy will likely result in an increase in unemployment.
When the profit margin of producers decreases, it means that they are earning less profit from their business activities. As a result, they may struggle to cover their costs, sustain their operations, or expand their businesses. To manage their financial situation, producers may need to cut costs, reduce production, or even close down their business altogether.
Reduced production and business closures lead to a decrease in job opportunities and an increase in unemployment. When businesses are not making enough profit, they may need to lay off workers or reduce their workforce in order to cut costs. This means that fewer people will have jobs, resulting in higher unemployment rates.
Additionally, a fall in profit margins can also deter new businesses from entering the market or existing businesses from expanding. This further limits job creation and can exacerbate the unemployment problem.
In summary, a fall in the profit margin of producers in an economy leads to reduced production, business closures, job cuts, and a decrease in job opportunities. Therefore, the most likely resultant effect of such a decline in profit margin is an increase in unemployment.

Money could be defined as
Antwortdetails
Money can be defined as a medium of exchange that is universally accepted for buying goods and services. It enables people to easily trade with one another, without the need for bartering or trading directly with goods. In simpler terms, money is like a common language that everyone understands and uses to exchange things they want or need.
Money also serves as a settlement of debt because it allows individuals, businesses, and even governments to repay what they owe. When someone borrows money or takes a loan, they can later use money to pay back the lender. Similarly, if someone owes money to another person, they can use money to settle that debt.
Additionally, money is a medium of payment. It is used to complete transactions and make payments for goods and services. Whether you are buying groceries, paying for a movie ticket, or purchasing a new gadget, money is the common method of payment.
To summarize, money is a medium of exchange, settlement of debt, and medium of payment. It simplifies trade, enables the repayment of debts, and facilitates transactions in our daily lives.
Frage 31 Bericht
The number of people who are qualified to work and who offered themselves for employment are called
Antwortdetails
The correct term for the number of people who are qualified to work and who offer themselves for employment is the working population.
The working population refers to the subset of the total population that is actively engaged or seeking employment. It includes individuals who are qualified, available, and willing to work. This encompasses both employed individuals and those who are actively looking for work, such as job seekers.
The working population is an important measure for understanding the labor market. It helps policymakers, businesses, and economists in assessing the job market's health and determining factors such as employment rates, labor force participation, and unemployment rates.
Options like "mobility of labor" and "migrant labor" focus on the movement of workers between different locations, which is a related concept but not the same as the total number of qualified individuals available for employment. "Labor turnover" refers to the rate at which workers leave and join a particular company or industry, which is also not synonymous with the working population as a whole.
Therefore, the working population is the term that correctly describes the number of qualified individuals who are available for employment.

Macroeconomics focuses on the following units in an aggregative manner
Antwortdetails
Macroeconomics focuses on the units of an economy in an aggregative manner, meaning it looks at the economy as a whole rather than focusing on individual units. This helps us understand how different parts of the economy interact and influence each other.
The correct option is **household, firms, government, corporate sector, and external sector**. Macroeconomics analyzes the behavior and interactions of these units to understand the overall performance of the economy.
1. **Households**: These are the individual consumers who make up the economy. They play a vital role in determining the consumption and saving patterns that influence economic activities.
2. **Firms**: Firms are the businesses that produce goods and services in the economy. Macroeconomics looks at their investment decisions, production levels, and employment to understand the overall economic growth and productivity.
3. **Government**: The government plays a significant role in macroeconomics. It collects taxes, provides public goods and services, regulates the economy, and influences economic policies such as fiscal and monetary measures to stabilize the economy.
4. **External sector**: The external sector represents international trade and the flow of goods, services, and capital across borders. Macroeconomics considers factors like exports, imports, exchange rates, and foreign investment to understand the impact of global interactions on the economy.
By examining these units in an aggregative manner, macroeconomics helps us understand how changes in one sector affect the others and ultimately impact the overall performance of the economy.

Antwortdetails
In a two by two model of international trade, it is assumed that **both countries could gain from trade at the same time, but the volume of the gains depends on terms of trade**. This means that both countries can benefit from engaging in trade with each other. Trade allows both countries to specialize in producing and exporting the goods in which they have a comparative advantage, while importing goods that they are less efficient at producing.

The terms of trade refer to the ratio at which the countries exchange their goods. If one country has a higher bargaining power or can produce goods at a lower cost, they may negotiate more favorable terms of trade, leading to a larger volume of gains for that country.
