D. L = 20, K = 20
Question 5
A firm's production function is given by Q = 3x^2y^2, where Q is output and x and y are inputs. If the firm's output increases by 20% due to an increase in input x, what is the percentage increase in input y?
A. 10%
B. 15%
C. 20%
D. 25%

A. ₦75 billion
B. ₦100 billion
C. ₦125 billion

A. True
B. False
C. Maybe
D. It dep\ends
Question 8
A firm is operating in a perfectly competitive market with a cons\tant returns to scale production function. If the market price of its product increases by 10%, what will be the percentage change in its total revenue?
A. 10%
B. 20%
C. 5%
D. 0%
Question 9
The concept of opportunity \cost is closely related to the concept of scarcity, as it refers to the value of the next best alternative that is given up when a choice is made.
A. True
B. False
C. Maybe
D. It dep\ends
Question 10
The government of a country is considering a new tax policy. The tax rate is 20% of the income, and the income is ₦100,000. If the government wants to collect ₦20,000 in tax revenue, what is the optimal tax rate?
A. 10%
B. 20%
C. 30%
D. 40%
Question 11
A country's GDP at market price is ₦1,500 billion, while its GDP at factor \cost is ₦1,400 billion. What is the net indirect tax?
A. ₦50 billion
B. ₦100 billion
C. ₦150 billion
D. ₦200 billion
Question 12
A firm is producing a good u\sing labor and capital. The production function is given by Q = 2L^0.5K^0.5. If the price of labor is ₦100 per unit and the price of capital is ₦200 per unit, and the firm's budget constraint is 100L + 200K = 10000, find the optimal values of L and K.
A. L = 100, K = 50
B. L = 50, K = 100
C. L = 200, K = 50
D. L = 50, K = 200
Question 13
The concept of scarcity is a fundamental economic problem that arises because the production of one good is limited by the availability of resources, which can be used to produce other goods.
A. True
B. False
C. Maybe
D. It dep\ends
Question 14
A firm is producing a good u\sing a production function given by Q = 2L^2 + 3K. The firm's \cost function is C = 10L + 20K. What is the firm's marginal product of labor?
A. 4L
B. 2L
C. 6L
D. 8L
Question 15
A government is considering a tax on a firm's output. If the firm's supply curve is given by \( Q = 100 - 2P \) and the tax rate is ₦5 per unit of output, what is the new supply curve?
A. \( Q = 95 - 2P \)
B. \( Q = 105 - 2P \)
C. \( Q = 90 - 2P \)
D. \( Q = 110 - 2P \)
