Test: Theory Of Cost- 3 - Question 1

Which of the following is known as the Envelope Curve?

Test: Theory Of Cost- 3 - Question 2

A firm producers 10 units of a commodity at an average total cost of Rs. 200 and with a fixed cost of Rs. 500. Find out the component of average variable cost in the total cost:

Test: Theory Of Cost- 3 - Question 3

A firm will close down in the short period if its average revenue is less than its:

Test: Theory Of Cost- 3 - Question 4

The average fixed cost for producing an output of 6 units of a product by a firm is Rs. 30. The same cost for producing an output of 4 units will be Rs. _________.

Detailed Solution: Question 4

AFC = TFC / Q.
Given AFC at Q = 6 is Rs. 30 → TFC = 30 × 6 = Rs. 180. For Q = 4, AFC = 180 / 4 = Rs. 45.

Test: Theory Of Cost- 3 - Question 5

Long run price is also called by the name of ________.

Test: Theory Of Cost- 3 - Question 6

Which of the following cost curve will slope downward and does not touch the x-axis?

Test: Theory Of Cost- 3 - Question 7

Consider the following data 

The Average Variable Cost (AVC) for an output of 4 units will be:-

Detailed Solution: Question 7

Given Data:
Total Cost (TC) at 0 units of output = ₹25 (this is the Fixed Cost (FC)).
Total Cost (TC) at 4 units of output = ₹105.
Steps to Calculate AVC:
Variable Cost (VC):
VC = TC - FC

At 4 units of output:
VC = ₹105 - ₹25 = ₹80

Average Variable Cost (AVC):
AVC = VC ÷ Output

At 4 units of output:
AVC = ₹80 ÷ 4 = ₹20

The Average Variable Cost (AVC) for an output of 4 units is ₹20.

Test: Theory Of Cost- 3 - Question 8

 Average Revenue Curve is also known as _________.

Test: Theory Of Cost- 3 - Question 9

Payment made to outsiders for their goods and services are called :

Test: Theory Of Cost- 3 - Question 10

When AC curve is rising, the MC curve must be ________ to it

Test: Theory Of Cost- 3 - Question 11

What will be the total fixed cost for the production of three units as per the details given below?

Test: Theory Of Cost- 3 - Question 12

A firm encountering economies of scale over some range of output will have a:

Test: Theory Of Cost- 3 - Question 13

 In which of the following cases opportunity cost concept applies?

Test: Theory Of Cost- 3 - Question 14

Test: Theory Of Cost- 3 - Question 15

Which statement among below is correct in reference in Average Fixed Cost

Test: Theory Of Cost- 3 - Question 16

Opportunity cost is : 

Test: Theory Of Cost- 3 - Question 17

What will be the TVC if we produce 2 units?
Units  0    1    2
TC    20  37  50

Test: Theory Of Cost- 3 - Question 18

Which curve is never U-shaped?

Test: Theory Of Cost- 3 - Question 19

External economies accrue due to ________:

Test: Theory Of Cost- 3 - Question 20

Average Revenue Curve is also known as _________.

Test: Theory Of Cost- 3 - Question 21

 Which one of the following is correct?

Test: Theory Of Cost- 3 - Question 22

When shape of average cost curve is upward, marginal cost : 

Test: Theory Of Cost- 3 - Question 23

Which of the following is known as Envelope curve?

Detailed Solution: Question 23

Option C is correct.

  • Long-Run Average Cost (LAC) is called the envelope curve because it represents the lowest possible average cost for each level of output when a firm can vary all inputs.

  • The LAC is formed as the locus of minima of different Short-Run Average Cost (SAC) curves corresponding to various plant sizes; the LAC touches each SAC at its minimum point.

  • The typical U-shaped form of the LAC reflects economies of scale at lower outputs and diseconomies of scale at higher outputs.

  • The other options are not envelope curves: MC is the marginal cost curve, AFC (average fixed cost) continuously falls as output rises, and TFC (total fixed cost) is constant with respect to output; none of these envelop the short-run average cost curves.

Test: Theory Of Cost- 3 - Question 24

Payment made to outsiders for their goods and services are called :

Test: Theory Of Cost- 3 - Question 25

 Long run price is also called by the name of ________.

Test: Theory Of Cost- 3 - Question 26

 AFC curve is: 

Detailed Solution: Question 26

The average fixed costs AFC curve is downward sloping because fixed costs are distributed over a larger volume when the quantity produced increases. AFC is equal to the vertical difference between ATC and AVC. Variable returns to scale explains why the other cost curves are U-shaped.

Test: Theory Of Cost- 3 - Question 27

A firm’s average fixed cost is Rs. 40 at 12 units. What will be the average fixed cost at 8 units:

Test: Theory Of Cost- 3 - Question 28

Which of the following cost curves is never ‘U’ shaped?

Test: Theory Of Cost- 3 - Question 29

 Calculate total cost of 4 units:

Test: Theory Of Cost- 3 - Question 30

Which of the following cost curves is never ‘U’ shaped?

Detailed Solution: Question 30

Average fixed cost curve is never U-shaped. The average fixed costs AFC curve is downward sloping because fixed costs are distributed over a larger volume when the quantity produced increases.
