Question 3

Question
What does 'Marginal Revenue Product' actually mean?
Answer
  • The change in output that results from employing one more worker.
  • The change in a firm's revenue from employing additional labour.
  • The change in a firm's revenue from employing one additional unit of labour.
  • The change in output that results from purchasing additional capital equipment.

Question 4

Question
The quantity of labour employed in a production process will be determined at the point where:
Answer
  • The marginal revenue product is larger than the marginal cost of labour.
  • The marginal revenue product is larger than the average revenue.
  • The marginal revenue product is less than the average cost.
  • The marginal revenue product is equal to the marginal cost of labour.

Question 5

Question
Marginal Revenue Product is formed by multiplying what?
Answer
  • Average revenue with marginal labour cost.
  • Total revenue with total output.
  • Marginal product and marginal revenue.
  • Marginal cost and total labour costs.

Question 6

Question
In a perfectly competitive market, marginal revenue will equal what?
Answer
  • Average cost
  • Price
  • Average revenue

Question 7

Question
Under monopolistic competition, oligopoly and monopoly, what does marginal revenue product do?
Answer
  • Marginal product increases with output.
  • Marginal product remains the same with output.
  • Marginal product decreases with output.

Question 8

Question
If the wage rate is to increase, what will occur on the marginal revenue product diagram?
Answer
  • The marginal revenue product curve will shift to the right.
  • The marginal cost of labour curve will move to the left.
  • The marginal cost of labour curve will move upwards.
  • The marginal revenue product curve will shift downwards.

Question 9

Question
Why is it difficult to measure marginal revenue product?
Answer
  • Because few companies employ exactly the right number of workers.
  • Because it is difficult to gauge the respective contribution each worker makes to overall output.
  • Because each worker has access to different levels of capital, meaning their output is different.
  • At may come down to value judgements as some products cannot be quantitatively measured.

Question 10

Question
Marginal Revenue Product theory assumes what?
Answer
  • Fixed factors of production apart from labour; Labour market is perfectly competitive; Homogeneous labour units; Product market is perfectly competitive; Wage takers (firms) - (FLH PW)
  • Fixed factors of production apart from labour; Labour market is perfectly competitive; Labour units are all paid the same; Product market is perfectly competitive; Wage takers (firms) - (FLL PF)
  • Fixed factors of production apart from labour; Product market is perfectly competitive; Homogeneous labour units; Wage takers (firms); Marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost of labour - (FPH WM)

Question 11

Question
Define 'Law of Diminishing Marginal Returns'
Answer
  • A decrease in the marginal (per-unit) output of a production process as the amount of a single factor of production is increased
  • An decrease in the marginal (per-unit) output of a production process as the amount of labour is increased
  • An increase, then a decrease in the marginal (per-unit) output of a production process as the amount of a single factor of production is increased
