- A<br/>rational decision maker takes an action only if the() A: marginal benefit is less than the marginal<br/>cost. B: marginal benefit is greater than the<br/>marginal cost. X C: average benefit is greater than the average<br/>cost. D: marginal benefit is greater than both the<br/>average cost and the marginal cost.
- Susan likes to drink sodas. The ( ) soda Susan drinks, the ( ) of the last soda. A: more; higher the marginal benefit B: less; higher the opportunity cost C: less; lower the marginal benefit D: more; lower the marginal benefit
- In the above figure, when 2000 bicycles are produced each month, we can see that A: the marginal benefit from another bicycle is greater than the marginal cost of another bicycle. B: more bicycles should be produced to reach the allocatively efficient level of output. C: the economy is very efficient at the production of bicycles because the marginal benefit exceeds the marginal cost. D: Both answers A and B are correct.
- When<br/>the marginal benefit and marginal cost of sodas are equal, then<br/>____. A: the<br/>production of sodas might be allocatively efficient but it is<br/>definitely production inefficient B: the<br/>allocatively inefficient amount of sodas is being produced C: more<br/>sodas should be produced to reach the allocatively efficient quantity D: the<br/>allocatively efficient amount of sodas is being produced
- In the above figure, if 4000 bicycles are produced per month, A: marginal benefit is greater than marginal cost. B: fewer bicycles should be produced to reach the allocatively efficient level of output. C: the marginal cost of production is 2 bottles of soda per bicycle. D: Both answers A and B are correct.
