1 Managerial Economics 1 is the application of Economic theory to managerial practice. 1. Economic Management 2. Managerial Economics 3. Economic Practice 4. Managerial Theory 2 Managerial Economics relates to the use of tools and techniques of to solve managerial problems. 1. Managerial Theory 2. Economic Practice 3. Economic Analysis 3 According to Eugene Brigham and James Pappas-'Managerial Economics is the application of economic theory and methodology to business administration practice' has indicated that economic problem mainly arises because, human wants are unlimited whereas the means to satisfy these wants are limited. 1. Lionel Robbins 2. Samuelson 3. Milton Spencer 4. James Pappas 5 Marginal utility is the aggregate of utilities derived by the consumers from all the units of the commodity consumed. 6 As more and more consumers possess a particular product, others are also psychologically influenced to buy that product. This is called: 1. Snob effect 2. Bandwagon effect 3. Income effect 4. Price effect
2 7 Other things remaining the same, quantity demanded of a commodity is inversely related to its price. 8 Once it so happened in England that when the price of bread declined the demand for bread also declined. This was termed as: 1. Price-illusions 2. Qualitative changes 3. Standard of living 9 Price-elasticity of demand is the degree of responsiveness of quantity demanded of particular commodity to the change in the price of: 1. Another commodity 2. That commodity itself 10 The quantity demanded, generally has a positive relationship with price. 11 The change in income brings about a change in demand for a particular commodity in the same direction, then the income elasticity is said to be: 1. Negative 2. Positive 3. Zero 12 Quantitative method of demand forecasting is used for: 1. Short term forecasting 2. Long term for casting 3. All of the above 13 The disadvantage of the Delphi technique is that it helps individual panel members in assessing their forecast.
3 14 Which of the following is the fluctuation indicated by the time series data? 1. Secular trends 2. Cyclical variations 3. Seasonal variations 15 Distress sale- this comes under which factor that would 'influence supply'? 1. Taxation & subsidy 2. State of Technology 3. Transport facilities 4. Expectations regarding future prices 16 An exception to the law of supply is provided by the supply curve of: 1. Raw material 2. Packing material 3. Labour 4. Consumables 17 An exception to the law of supply is provided by the supply curve of consumables. 18 Cost of raw material is: 1. Fixed Cost 2. Variable Cost 19 The long run average cost curve is also called the: 1. Envelope curve 2. Long-term planning curve 20 Mr. Suresh Ramchandran, an executive employed with Ranbaxy India drives his car himself and hence is not paid by the company for doing the work of a driver. This is: 1. Explicit cost 2. Implicit cost
4 21 Which of the following phrases comprise the laws of returns. 1. The law of increasing returns 2. The law of constant returns 3. The law of diminishing returns 22 Internal economies are classified by: 1. E.A.G Robinson 2. Samuelson 3. Marshall 4. James Pappas 23 Economies of concentration does not arise from the localization of an industry in a particular region. 24 Which of the following are forms of Imperfect competition? 1. Monoploy 2. Duopoly 3. Oligopoly 25 Why does the price rise? 1. When supply increases 2. When demand decreases 3. At least one of the above 26 Marginal Revenue is the additional revenue from selling the additional unit of output. 27 Marginal Revenue is the ratio of change in total revenue to 1. Change in quantity 2. Quantity 3. Change in price 4. Price
5 28 Perfect competition implies a situation where. 1. Single seller dominating the market 2. Infinite firms producing homogeneous products 3. Few firms producing homogeneous products 29 AR = MR in case of perfect competition 30 A firm is said to be in a state of equilibrium at a point when it enjoys profit. 1. Average 2. Minimum 3. Maximum 31 Average Revenue- Average Cost = Average Profit X = Total Profit. 1. Units of output produced 2. Units of output in stock 3. Units of output sold 32 Under Marginal Revenue- Marginal Cost Method, equality between Marginal Cost and Marginal Revenue is necessary condition for equilibrium of the firm. 33 The sufficient condition for equilibrium of a firm under perfect competition in the short run is: 1. Marginal Revenue > Rising Marginal Cost 2. Marginal Revenue < Rising Marginal Cost 3. Marginal Revenue = Rising Marginal Cost 4. Average Revenue > Rising Average Cost
6 34 In a situation where the Marginal Revenue is a horizontal line and Marginal Cost is falling below the revenue for an additional unit of output, the firm will 1. Incur loss 2. Yield profit 3. Attain Break-even 35 A monopolist cannot be in equilibrium where elasticity of demand is less than one. 36 Negative Marginal Revenue results in: 1. Profit maximized 2. Profit not maximized 3. Sales not maximized 37 Full cost pricing method is also known as: 1. Full Cost plus pricing 2. Cost plus pricing 3. Total Cost plus pricing 38 Marginal cost pricing method leads to: 1. stable prices in the market 2. frequent price changes 3. moderate fluctuations 39 The nature of demand of the product, the availability of substitutes and the degree of competition have to be studied before the pricing of the exports.
7 40 Profit is the reward, which goes to organization as a factor of production for its participation in the process of: 1. production 2. administration 3. distribution 41 Net Profit is arrived at by reducing from revenue. 1. explicit costs 2. implicit costs 42 Profit may arise on account of 1. monopoly element 2. windfalls 43 Competitive and technical risks are covered under insurable risks. 44 Capital Budgeting is a term planning for making and financing proposed capital outlays. 1.
