Column I - determine the Price-Elasticity of Demand Coefficient. Find material in Chapter 6 and the Powerpoint of Elasticity Chap 004 19e.ppt
change in quantity demanded change in price
ED = ---------------------------------------- â ----------------------------
sum of quantities demanded / 2 sum of prices / 2
The data in the first four columns represent price (P) and quantity demanded (Qd) in time 1 (before change in price) and time 2 (after change in price). Note that results should be expressed in absolute terms (see paragraph Elimination of Minus Sign). For example, -1 should be expressed as â1â.
Column II â Based on topic concerning Interpretations of ED, indicate which applies based on how the quantity demanded changed subsequent to a change in price (elastic, inelastic, etc.)
Column III - you need to determine if the good in question would be considered a necessity, a luxury or neither.
Column IV â Indicate, in monetary terms, how much is the change in total revenue or total expenditure (TR = P X QD), from the first price level to the second.
Column V - the direction of the change, also in monetary terms, that is, increasing or decreasing, and by how much? (show a + sign for increasing and a â sign for decreasing).
Note: for any monetary result please include the applicable currency symbol ($, â¬, etc.)

1. Suppose the firm's product demand is given by the column labelled D1. If the wage rate is $100, the firm will achieve maximum profit by hiring _____ workers.
a. 3 b. 4 c. 5 d. 6
2. Suppose the firm's product demand is given by the column labelled D1. If the wage rate rises from $100 to $130, the firm will reduce the quantity of labour employed by _____ unit(s)
a. 0 b. 1 c. 2 d. 3 16.
3.Suppose the firm's product demand is given by the column labelled D1. If the wage rate is $120, the firm will achieve maximum profit by hiring _____ workers.
a. 3 b. 4 c. 5 d. 6 3 17.
4. Suppose the firm's product demand is given by the column labelled D1. The value of the marginal product of the fourth worker is:
a. $10 b. $54 c. $120 d. $540 18.
5. Suppose the firm's product demand is given by the column labelled D2. If the wage rate is $100, the firm will achieve maximum profit by hiring _____ workers
a. 2 b. 3 c. 4 d. 5 19.
6. Suppose the firm's product demand is given by the column labelled D2. The extra revenue generated by the fourth worker is:
a. $1 b. $12 c. $48 d. $405 20.
7. Suppose the firm's product demand is given by the column labelled D2. If the wage rate rises from $100 to $130, the firm will reduce the quantity of labour employed by _____ unit(s).
a. 0 b. 1 c. 2 d. 3 21.
8. Compared to a firm facing D1, a firm facing demand schedule D2 but paying the same wage will hire:
a. the same number of workers, since the total product is the same in both instances
b. fewer workers, since product price declines as output increases
c. more workers, since product price declines as output increases
d. more information is required
Emmanuel enjoys growing zucchini in his garden and then selling his produce at the local farmers' market. The table below shows his marginal benefit and marginal cost for each hour he spends in his garden per week. The figure below plots the marginal benefit and marginal cost points.
Emmanuel's Marginal Benefit and Marginal Cost of Gardening | ||
Hours Spent Gardening |
Marginal Benefit (dollars) |
Marginal Cost (dollars) |
1 | $21 | $3 |
2 | 18 | 6 |
3 | 15 | 9 |
4 | 12 | 12 |
5 | 9 | 15 |

a. Given the information above, what is Emmanuel's optimal amount of time spent gardening each week?
- 1 hour
- 4 hours
- 0 hours
- 7 hours
b. If Emmanuel were to spend 2 hours each week gardening:
- marginal cost would exceed marginal benefit by $12.
- marginal benefit would exceed marginal cost by $12.
- marginal benefit would equal marginal cost.
- marginal benefit would exceed marginal cost by $18.
c. If Emmanuel were to spend 6 hours each week gardening:
- marginal cost would exceed marginal benefit by $12.
- marginal benefit would exceed marginal cost by $18.
- marginal benefit would exceed marginal cost by $12.
- marginal benefit would equal marginal cost.
