Q

Buyers who expect the price of a good to be higher next month may
buy it now, thus increasing the current demand for the good. TRUE OR FALSE

25
The willingness and ability of sellers to produce and offer to sell different quantities of a good*/ at different prices/ during a specific time period (per day, week, etc).
SUPPLY
26
As the price of a good rises, the quantity supplied of the good rises, and as the price of a good falls, the quantity demanded of the good falls,
Law of Supply
27
is the specific number of units of a good that sellers are willing and able to sell at a particular price during a time period.
Quantity supplied
28
holds for the production of most goods. It does not hold when there is no time to produce more units of a good, or if it cannot be produced anymore
Law of Supply & Supply Curve
29
This law states that as ever larger amounts of variable inputs are combined with fixed inputs, eventually the marginal physical product of the variable input will decline.
law of diminishing marginal returns
30
represents the price-quantity combinations of a particular good for a single seller
individual supply curve
31
represents the price-quantity combinations for all sellers of a particular good. This is derived by “adding up” individual supply curves
market supply curve
32
numerical tabulation of the quantity supplied of a good at different prices; the numerical representation of the law of supply
Supply schedule
33
An increase in supply shifts the entire supply curve to the left. TRUE OR FALSE
FALSE ( RIGHT)
34
A decrease in supply shifts the entire supply curve to the left. TRUE OR FALSE
TRUE
35
Factors Causing the Supply Curve to Shift
1. Prices of relevant sources 2. Technology 3. Prices of other goods 4. Number of sellers 5. Expectations of future price 6. Taxes and subsidies 7. Government restrictions
36
If the price of a resource falls, producing the good becomes less costly. TRUE OR FALSE
TRUE
37
With lower costs and prices unchanged, the profit from producing and selling the good has decreased. TRUE OR FALSE
FALSE( INCREASED)
38
Is the body of skills and knowledge concerning the use of resources in production
Technology
39
An advance in technology may lead to the ability to produce less output with a fixed amount of resources, reducing per-unit production costs. TRUE OR FALSE
FALSE ( MORE OUTPUT)
40
If the per-unit production costs of a good decline, we expect the quantity supplied of the good at each price to increase. TRUE OR FALSE
TRUE
41
Prices of Relevant Resources LEFT OR RIGHT WARD SHIFT?
RIGHTWARD SHIFT
42
Technology LEFT OR RIGHT-WARD SHIFT?
RIGHT WARD SHIFT
43
If more sellers begin producing a good, the supply curve will shift leftward.TRUE OR FALSE
FALSE ( RIGHT WARD)
44
Expectations of Future Prices LEFT OR RIGHT-WARD SHIFT?
LEFT WARD SHIFT
45
If the tax is removed, the supply curve will LEFT OR RIGHT-WARD SHIFT?
RIGHT WARD SHIFT
46
is a monetary payment by government to a producer of a good.
Subsidy
47
Subsidy will lead to a?LEFT OR RIGHT-WARD SHIFT?
LEFT WARD SHIFT
48
Government Restrictions LEFT OR RIGHT-WARD SHIFT?
LEFT WARD SHIFT
49
A movement along the supply curve. It can only be caused by a change in the price of the good.
Change in quantity supplied
50
excess supply; a condition in which the quantity supplied is greater than the quantity demanded.
Surplus
51
excess demand; a condition in which the quantity demanded is greater than the quantity supplied.
Shortage
52
the price at which the quantity demanded of the good equals the quantity supplied
Equilibrium Price (Market-Clearing Price)
53
the quantity that corresponds to equilibrium price; the quantity at which the amount of the good that buyers are willing and able to buy equals the amount that sellers are willing and able to sell, and both equal the amount actually bought and sold.
Equilibrium Quantity
54
a price at which the quantity demanded does not equal the quantity supplied
Disequilibrium Price
55
a state of either surplus or shortage in a market
Disequilibrium
56
is the difference between the maximum price a buyer is willing and able to pay for a good or service and the price actually paid for it
Consumers’ Surplus
57
is the difference between the price sellers receive for a good and the minimum or lowest price for which they would have sold the good
Producers’ (Sellers’) Surplus
58
Consumers’ Surplus + Producers’ Surplus
Total Surplus
59
if two goods are complements, as the price of one rises, the demand for the other rises. T OR F ?
FALSE (DEMAND FALLS)
