Positive
Negative
No relationship
Inverse
#4
Which of the following is NOT a determinant of supply?
Cost of production
Technology
Consumer income

#5
What is the concept that describes the responsiveness of quantity supplied to a change in price?

Elasticity of supply
Price discrimination
Market equilibrium
#6
Which of the following is an example of a supply shock?
An increase in consumer income
A sudden decrease in the price of raw materials
A government subsidy for producers
A natural disaster affecting production facilities
#7
What effect does an increase in taxes on producers have on the supply curve?
Shifts the supply curve to the left
Shifts the supply curve to the right
No effect on the supply curve
Causes movement along the supply curve
#8
Which of the following best describes the concept of 'market equilibrium'?
The point where demand exceeds supply
The point where supply exceeds demand
The point where quantity demanded equals quantity supplied
The point where price is fixed by the government
#9
In economics, what does the term 'ceteris paribus' mean?
All else being equal
Supply and demand
Change in equilibrium
Marginal utility
#10
In the context of supply, what does the term 'elasticity' refer to?
The degree to which quantity supplied responds to a change in price
The responsiveness of demand to changes in income
The proportion of income spent on a good
The sensitivity of quantity demanded to changes in price
#11
What is the difference between 'short-run supply' and 'long-run supply'?
Short-run supply is fixed, while long-run supply is flexible
Short-run supply adjusts to changes in demand faster than long-run supply
Short-run supply considers only variable costs, while long-run supply includes fixed costs
Short-run supply reflects a period where all inputs are variable, while long-run supply allows for all inputs to be adjusted
#12
In the context of supply, what is the law of diminishing marginal returns?
As more units of a variable input are added to fixed inputs, the marginal product of the variable input eventually decreases
As more units of a variable input are added to fixed inputs, the marginal product of the variable input remains constant
The total output increases at a decreasing rate as more units of a variable input are added to fixed inputs
The total output increases at an increasing rate as more units of a variable input are added to fixed inputs
#13
Which of the following is a determinant of supply elasticity?
The number of consumers
The level of advertising expenditure
The proportion of income spent on the good
The availability of production substitutes
