Time Allowed: 40 minutes Maximum Marks: 20
General Instructions:
Attempt all the questions carefully.
1. Can the AC be less than the MC when AC is falling [1]
a) None of these b) Can’t say
c) No d) Yes
2. When average cost (AC) is falling: [1]
a) none of these b) MC > AC
c) MC < AC d) MC = AC
3. Assertion (A): When Average Cost is constant, AC curve is at its minimum point. [1]
Reason (R): At this point, MC curve cuts AC curve which implies MC = AC.
a) Both A and R are true and R is the b) Both A and R are true but R is not the
correct explanation of A. correct explanation of A.
c) A is true but R is false. d) A is false but R is true.
4. State true or false: [1]
Even when marginal cost is rising, the average variable cost may fall.
5. Fill in the blanks: [1]
Marginal cost may be rising even when the average cost is ________. (rising/falling)
6. Identify the correct sequence of alternatives given in Column II by matching them with [1]
respective items in Column I:
Column I Column II
(a) Change in total cost when an additional unit of output is
(i) Total cost
produced
(ii) Marginal cost (b) Vertical summation of AFC and AVC curves
(iii) Fixed cost (c) Explicit cost + Implicit cost
(iv) Short period AC
(d) TC increases at a diminishing rate
curve
(v) Diminishing MC (e) Does not change with increase or decrease in output
7. At what level of production is total cost equal to total fixed cost? [1]
8. Can MC increase when AC falls? [3]
