If the consumption is ₦500 billion, the investment is ₦200 billion, and the government exp\enditure is ₦300 billion, find the national income.
A. ₦1,000 billion
B. ₦1,100 billion
C. ₦1,200 billion
D. ₦1,300 billion
Question 11
A firm's production function is given by the equation \( Q = 100 - 2L \), where ( Q ) is the quantity produced and ( L ) is the labor. If the firm's fixed \cost is ₦50,000, and the wage rate is ₦10,000 per hour, find the firm's total revenue and total \cost.
A. Total Revenue = ₦500,000, Total Cost = ₦600,000
B. Total Revenue = ₦550,000, Total Cost = ₦650,000
C. Total Revenue = ₦600,000, Total Cost = ₦700,000
D. Total Revenue = ₦650,000, Total Cost = ₦750,000
Question 12
The demand for a product is given by the equation \( Q_d = 100 - 2P \), where \( Q_d \) is the quantity demanded and ( P ) is the price. If the supply function is \( Q_s = 50 + 3P \), find the equilibrium price and quantity.
