Price elasticity of supply of a commodity


Question 1: Draw the ATC, AVC and MC Curves in a single diagram.

Question 2: Differentiate between the total Fixed Cost and total Variable Cost.

Question 3: What modifications will occur in the Total Revenue when:

a) Marginal Revenue is falling but is positive.
b) Marginal Revenue is Zero.
c) Marginal Revenue is negative.

Question 4: Whether statements are True or False? State the reasons.

a) As long as MC is increasing, ATC will as well increase.
b) At an output of one unit, ATC is equivalent to MC.
c) Total Revenue declines as long as the Marginal Revenue is dropping.

Question 5: State the three reasons of a Rightward Shift of a Supply Curve.

Question 6: By using diagrams describe the difference between the Contraction and Decrease in the Supply.

Question 7: A 20% raise in the price of commodity A leads to a increase in its supply from 400 to 500 units. Compute its Elasticity of Supply and also comment on it.

Question 8: The Price elasticity of Supply of a commodity is 2. If its price drops from Rs 10 to 8 per unit, its Quantity Supplied drops by 500 units. Compute the Quantity Supplied at reduced price.

Question 9: By using a diagram describe how a relatively flatter Supply curve consists of a higher Elasticity of Supply for a given increase in price?

Question 10: Describe the effect on the output when only one input is raised?
