CBSE paper Questions

(Q1) Explain the conditions of producer’s equilibrium with the help of a numerical example. Use marginal cost and marginal revenue approach?               

(Q2) From the following data find out the level of output that will give the producer maximum profit (use marginal cost and marginal revenue approach). Give reasons for your answer. (6M)

Output (units)             1         2          3          4       5

Total Cost (Rs.)           9        17        24        29     36

Total Revenue (Rs.)   11       20       27        32      35

Ans: 4th unit of output & Profit = 3

This conditions of producer’s equilibrium are :

(1) MC = MR

(2) Beyond the level of output at which MC = MR, MC must be greater than MR   (2M)

The producer is in equilibrium when he produces 4 units as at this level of output both the

conditions of producer’s equilibrium are satisfied.  (1M)

(Q3) From the following total cost and total revenue schedule of a firm, find out the level of output, using marginal cost and marginal revenue approach, at which the firm would be in equilibrium. Give reasons for your answer.                                (6M)

Output (units)              1        2       3      4            5

Total Cost (Rs.)           14     27     39     49         61

Q4)  Given below is the cost schedule of a product produced by a firm. The market price per unit of the product at all levels of output is Rs. 12. Using marginal cost and marginal revenue approach, find out the level of equilibrium output. Give reasons for your answer :

Output (Units)                 1         2           3           4           5          6
