Econ 301 Exam 2025 Questions and
Answers
this would violate a technical efficiency condition
additional inputs will not be used by profit-maximizing firms if those inputs
decrease
output - --CORRECT ANSWER--Two isoquants, which represent different
output levels but are derived from the same
production function, cannot cross because
technically feasible and inefficient. - --CORRECT ANSWER--A farmer uses L
units of labor and K units of capital to produce Q units of corn using a
production function F(K,L). A production plan that uses to produce Q' units of
corn where
is said to be
capital and labor will be used in fixed proportions. - --CORRECT ANSWER--An
examination of the production isoquants in the diagram below reveals that:

, The fact that input prices are positive - --CORRECT ANSWER--Which of the
following is NOT related to the slope of isoquants?
because of diminishing marginal product, the amount of food produced by each
additional
member of the population decreases. - --CORRECT ANSWER--The Malthusian
dilemma relates to marginal product in that
use 0.8 fewer units of capital. - --CORRECT ANSWER--A firm's marginal
product of labor is 4 and its marginal product of capital is 5. If the firm adds
one unit of labor, but does not want its output quantity to change, the firm should
marginal rate of technical substitution. - --CORRECT ANSWER--) The rate at
which one input can be reduced per additional unit of the other input, while
holding
output constant, is measured by the
costs are minimized for the production of a given output, the slopes of the
isoquant and isocost curves are equal, and the marginal rate of technical
substitution equals the ratio of input prices. - --CORRECT ANSWER--At the
optimum combination of two inputs,
I is false, and II is true. - --CORRECT ANSWER--Consider the following
statements when answering this question.
