Statement I: If you buy four units of a good, your total utility is higher than if you purchased only three units. A. Statement I is true and statement l is false. 8. Statement Il is true and statement I is false. are true. C. Both s D. Both statements are false. 15. When average total cost is declining, then A. marginal cost must be less than average total cost B. marginal cost must be greater than average total cost. C average total cost must be greater than average fixed cost. D. average variable cost must be declining. 16. Which statement is true? A. The marginal cost curve intersects both the average variable cost curve and the average curve at their minimum points. B. The marginal cost curve neither the average variable cost curve nor the average total cost curve at their minimum points. C. The marginal cost curve the average variable cost curve at its minimum point, but it does not intersect the average total cost curve at its minimum point. D. The marginal cost curve intersects the average total cost curve at its minimum point, but it does not intersect the average variable cost curve at its minimum point. 17. If fixed cost is $5,000, and, at an output of 3 variable cost is $4,000, how much is average total cost at an output of 3? A. $1,333.33 B. $3,000 C. $4,500 D. $9,000 is (are) the relationship between the maximum amounts of output a firm can produce i 18. various quantities of inputs. A. A production function B. The law of diminishing returns C. Economies of scale

Answer 1

Q14.Answer is C. Both the statement are true.
The total utility goes on increasing even with the diminishing marginal utility.
Q15. Answer is A. Marginal cost must be less than average total curve
Q16. Answer is A. marginal cost curve intersects both the average variable cost and Average total cost at their minimum point.
Q17. Answer is B. $ 3000
Explanation:
Total cost (5000+4000): 9000
Number of units; 3
Average total cost: 3000 ( 9000/3 units)
Q18. Answer is A. Production function
