Question 2
A country's GDP is given by the equation Y = C + I + G + \( X - M \), where Y is GDP, C is consumption, I is investment, G is government sp\ending, X is exports and M is imports. If the country's GDP is 100 billion, consumption is 60 billion, investment is 20 billion, government sp\ending is 10 billion, exports are 30 billion and imports are 20 billion, what is the value of X?
A. 40 billion
B. 50 billion
C. 60 billion
D. 70 billion
Question 3
A firm operating in a perfectly competitive market is said to be in a state of equilibrium when the marginal revenue equals the marginal \cost. What is the opportunity \cost of producing one more unit of the good?
A. The opportunity \cost is the price of the good.
B. The opportunity \cost is the marginal revenue.
C. The opportunity \cost is the marginal \cost.
D. The opportunity \cost is the price of the good plus the marginal revenue.
Question 4
Consider a perfectly competitive market with a large number of firms producing a homogeneous product. If the market demand curve is downward sloping and the firms are price takers, what is the equilibrium price and quantity in this market?
A. \( P = 10, Q = 100 \)
B. \( P = 20, Q = 50 \)
C. \( P = 30, Q = 0 \)
D. \( P = 40, Q = 200 \)
Question 5

A. 10%
B. 20%
C. 30%
D. 40%

A consumer's utility function is given by U = 2x + 3y. If the price of good x is ₦50 per unit and the price of good y is ₦75 per unit, calculate the consumer's budget constraint.
A. x + 3y = 30
B. 2x + y = 20
C. x + 2y = 20
D. x + y = 15

A. 5%
B. 10%
C. 20%
D. 30%
Question 8
A government is considering a policy to reduce poverty. The government's budget constraint is given by B = 1000 + 0.5G, where B is the budget and G is the government exp\enditure. If the government wants to allocate ₦500 to poverty reduction, what is the maximum amount the government can allocate to other programs?
A. ₦250
B. ₦300
C. ₦350
D. ₦400
Question 9
The elasticity of demand for a commodity is given by the formula \( epsilon = \frac{Delta Q}{Delta P} \times \frac{P}{Q} \). If the price of the commodity increases by 10% and the quantity demanded decreases by 15%, calculate the elasticity of demand.
A. 0.75
B. 1.25
C. 1.5
D. 2.0
Question 10
A country's government imposes a tax of $10 on a firm's output. The firm's supply curve is given by q = 100 - p. What is the new supply curve after the tax?
A. q = 100 - p - 10
B. q = 100 - p + 10
C. q = 100 + p - 10
D. q = 100 + p + 10
Question 11
A firm's \cost function is given by C(q) = 2q^2 + 10q + 5. If the firm produces 20 units, what is the total \cost?
A. 100
B. 120
C. 140
D. 160
Question 12
A firm's revenue function is given by R = 100x - 2x^2. If the firm produces 10 units of output, calculate the marginal revenue.
A. ₦600
B. ₦700
C. ₦800
D. ₦900
Question 13
A monopolist faces a demand curve given by p = 100 - 2q. The firm's marginal \cost is $10. What is the profit-maximizing quantity?
A. 20
B. 30
C. 40
D. 50
