C. ₦60,000
D. ₦70,000
Question 9
The law of diminishing marginal returns states that as the quantity of a variable input increases, the marginal product of that input will eventually decrease. What is the reason for this decrease?
A. The law of diminishing marginal returns is a result of the increa\sing marginal \cost of production
B. The law of diminishing marginal returns is a result of the decrea\sing marginal product of labor
C. The law of diminishing marginal returns is a result of the increa\sing marginal product of capital
D. The law of diminishing marginal returns is a result of the decrea\sing marginal product of land
Question 10
A country's balance of payments is given by the following equation: BOP = X - M - \( I - S \). If X = 100, M = 50, I = 20, and S = 30, what is the balance of payments?
A. 20
B. 30
C. 40
D. 50
Question 11

B. Decrease taxes
C. Increase interest rates
D. Decrease government sp\ending
Question 12

A. ₦250
B. ₦500
C. ₦750
D. ₦1,000
Question 13
A government imposes a tax on a good, cau\sing the supply curve to shift to the left. If the original supply curve was ( S(x) = 2x + 5 ) and the tax causes the new supply curve to be ( S'(x) = 2x + 10 ), find the deadweight loss of the tax.
