Practice these randomly selected questions to test your readiness.

Question 1
A firm's demand curve is given by Q = 100 - 2P, where Q is quantity demanded and P is price. If the firm's marginal revenue is $10, what is the optimal price and quantity that maximize profit?
A. P = $5, Q = 50
B. P = $10, Q = 40
C. P = $15, Q = 30

A. 60
B. 70
C. 80
D. 90
Question 4
A government imposes a tax on a good to reduce its consumption. If the tax causes the demand curve to shift leftward and the supply curve to shift rightward, what is the likely effect on the equilibrium price and quantity of the good?
A. The equilibrium price will increase, and the equilibrium quantity will decrease.
B. The equilibrium price will decrease, and the equilibrium quantity will increase.
C. The equilibrium price will remain unchanged, and the equilibrium quantity will decrease.
D. The equilibrium price will increase, and the equilibrium quantity will remain unchanged.

A. 5
B. 10
C. 15
D. 20
Question 11
A government's budget is given by B = T + H - G, where B is the budget surplus, T is the tax revenue, H is the non-tax revenue, and G is the government exp\enditure.
