Explain the concept of a production func | Class 12 Micro Economics Chapter Production and Costs, Production and Costs NCERT Solutions

The market price of a good changes from Rs 5 to Rs 20. As a result, the quantity supplied by a firm increases by 15 units. The price elasticity of the firm’s supply curve is 0.5. Find the initial and final output levels of the firm.

A firm earns a revenue of Rs 50 when the market price of a good is Rs 10. The market price increases to Rs 15 and the firm now earns a revenue of Rs 150. What is the price elasticity of the firm’s supply curve?

How does the imposition of a unit tax affect the supply curve of a firm?

What is the supply curve of a firm in the long run?

Distinguish between a centrally planned economy and a market economy.

A consumer wants to consume two goods. The prices of the two goods are Rs 4
and Rs 5 respectively. The consumer’s income is Rs 20.
(i) Write down the equation of the budget line.
(ii) How much of good 1 can the consumer consume if she spends her entire
income on that good?
(iii) How much of good 2 can she consume if she spends her entire income on
that good?
(iv) What is the slope of the budget line?
Questions 5, 6 and 7 are related to question 4.

How will a change in the price of coffee affect the equilibrium price of tea? Explain the effect on equilibrium quantity also through a diagram. 

Suppose your friend is indifferent to the bundles (5, 6) and (6, 6). Are the preferences of your friend monotonic?

What is the total product of input?

Consider the demand curve D (p) = 10 – 3p. What is the elasticity at price 53?

Explain why the budget line is downward sloping.

What are the total fixed cost, total variable cost and total cost of a firm? How are they related?

When does a production function satisfy increasing returns to scale? 

Suppose there are two consumers in the market for a good and their demand functions are as follows:

d1(p) = 20 – p for any price less than or equal to 20, and d1(p) = 0 at any price greater than 20.

d2(p) = 30 – 2p for any price less than or equal to 15 and d1(p) = 0 at any price greater than 15.

Find out the market demand function.

What is the value of the MR when the demand curve is elastic?

Let the production function of a firm be Q=5L1/2K1/2Q=5L1/2K1/2 Find out the maximum possible output that the firm can produce with 100 units of LL and 100 units of KK.

From the schedule provided below calculate the total revenue, demand curve and the price elasticity of demand:

Can you think of any commodity on which the price ceiling is imposed in India? What may be the consequence of price-ceiling?

A consumer wants to consume two goods. The prices of the two goods are Rs 4
and Rs 5 respectively. The consumer’s income is Rs 20.
(i) Write down the equation of the budget line.
(ii) How much of good 1 can the consumer consume if she spends her entire
income on that good?
(iii) How much of good 2 can she consume if she spends her entire income on
that good?
(iv) What is the slope of the budget line?
Questions 5, 6 and 7 are related to question 4.

What do you mean by complements? Give examples of two goods which are complements of each other.
