The supply of labour is based on the trade off between leisure and |
wealth
work
wages
price of product
|
2 |
Fixing of minimum wage |
raises demand for labour
raises profits
causes unemployment
is welcomed by employers
|
3 |
A producer will employ workers up to the point where its MRP becomes |
ARP
current wage rate
negative
equal to profit
|
4 |
The reward of their services cannot be fixed |
wage earner
rent receiver
interest receiver
profit earner
|
5 |
Under marginal productivity theory, reward for labour is determined by |
owner
government
labour
marginal product
|
6 |
Doctors get higher wages than clerks because |
doctors are in short supply
doctors have more respect in society
doctors are organised in trade unions
people fear doctor's displeasure
|
7 |
Standard of living of workers depends upon their |
nominal wages
real wages
average product
govt. policy
|
8 |
Who is unemployed |
housewife
college student
a peer who lives on gifts from mureeds
a freshly graduated engineer who is searching for a job
|
9 |
A firm maximizes profit of |
MRP = wage rate
MRP = ARP
MRP is rising
TRP = wages
|
10 |
The minimum wage is an example of |
price floor
price ceiling
equilibrium wage
efficiency of labour
|
11 |
In which form the largest percentage of national income is earned |
interest income
proprietor's income
employees' income
rental income
|
12 |
Sometimes the supply curve of labour bends |
downward
upward
backward
firstly upward and then downward
|
13 |
Union leaders are in better position bargain for higher wages if demand for labour is |
elastic
inelastic
very large
permanent
|
14 |
In factor market, which statement is true |
wages are determined by MP
Rent is fixed by landlords
interest rate is determined by Govt.
profit is determined by luck
|
15 |
Increasing the minimum wage for workers will |
solve the unemployment problem
result in scarcity of workers
cause substitution of capital for labour
decreases the MP of those workers
|
16 |
One of the following NOT a assumption of the marginal productivity theory |
units of factor are homogeneous
mobility of factor
low price of factor
perfect competition
|
17 |
If marginal product of labour rises because of new technology |
wages will rise
wages will fall
wages will be unaffected
may raise or fall
|
18 |
Why should employ units of a factor to a point where |
MP is negative
MP is equal to price of the factor
MP is positive
MP is rising
|
19 |
Under perfect competition, demand for a factor is its |
MRP curve
ARP curve
TRP curve
TR - TC
|
20 |
Every factor of production gets reward equal to |
value of average product
value of marginal product
value of total product
total revenue
