Units I, II, and II Exam Review
13. If products C and D are close
substitutes, an increase in the price of C
will:
A. tend to cause the price of D to fall.
B. shift the demand curve of C to the
left and the demand curve of D to
the right.
C. shift the demand curve of D to the
right.
D. shift the demand curves of both
products to the right.
23. The price elasticity of demand for widgets is 0.80. Assuming no
change in the demand curve for widgets, a 16 percent increase in
sales implies a:
A. 1 percent reduction in price.
B. 12 percent reduction in price.
C. 40 percent reduction in price.
D. 20 percent reduction in price.
24. Suppose that the above total revenue curve is derived from a particular linear demand curve.
That demand curve must be:
A. inelastic for price declines that increase quantity demanded from 6 units to 7 units.
B. elastic for price declines that increase quantity demanded from 6 units to 7 units.
C. inelastic for price increases that reduce quantity demanded from 4 units to 3 units.
D. elastic for price increases that reduce quantity demanded from 8 units to 7 units.
25. Suppose the above total revenue curve is derived from a particular linear demand curve.
That demand curve must be:
A. inelastic for price declines that increase quantity demanded from 2 units to 3 units.
B. elastic for price declines that increase quantity demanded from 5 units to 6 units.
C. inelastic for price increases that reduce quantity demanded from 4 units to 3 units.
D. elastic for price increases that reduce quantity demanded from 4 units to 3 units.

Econland. If the world price for this product were $6, then
Econland would import:
A. 400 units and domestic producers would supply 1,400
B. 800 units and domestic producers would supply 1,400

Role of Government
• List 2 Areas where you strongly feel
government needs to do more/less? Why?
– Problem

Market Failures
• Market fails to produce the right

Resources may be:
• Over-allocated
• Under-allocated
5-10
Demand-Side Failures
• Impossible to charge consumers
what they are willing to pay for the
product
• Some can enjoy benefits without
paying
LO1
5-11
Supply-Side Failures
• Occurs when a firm does not pay
the full cost of producing its output
• External costs of producing the
good are not reflected in supply

system
Because of positive externalities the
government provides them
Examples: education, streets,
libraries

The Reallocation Process
• Government
• Taxes individuals and businesses
• Takes the money and spends on
production of public goods
LO3

Externalities
• A cost or benefit accruing to a third
•
•
LO4
party external to the transaction
Positive externalities
• Too little is produced
• Demand-side market failures
Negative externalities
• Too much is produced
• Supply side market failures

correcting externalities
Officials must correctly identify the
existence and cause
Has to be done in the context of
politics

Controlling Carbon Dioxide Emissions
• Cap and trade
• Sets a cap for the total amount of
•
emissions
• Assigns property rights to pollute
• Rights can then be bought and sold
Carbon tax
• Raises cost of polluting
• Easier to enforce
