View answer resolution
【Answer to question 1】A

【analysis】

A is correct. Under perfect competition, economic profits are maximized when marginal revenue equals marginal cost—in this case, marginal cost crosses $10 per unit. Profits are maximized at 23 units of production because marginal cost is in excess of marginal revenue at 24 units. 

C is incorrect. It represents the minimum total cost point for the given data, not the profit maximizing point.

 B is incorrect. At and beyond 24 units, marginal costs exceed marginal revenue.

【Answer to question 2】B

【analysis】

B is correct. The overwhelming nature of the highly negative income effect over the substitution effect is applicable to Giffen goods only. Veblen goods are highly valued, high-priced “status” goods; consumers may tend to buy more of a Veblen good if its price rises. 

A is incorrect. It is true that Giffen goods are “inferior” whereas Veblen goods are “high-status” goods. 

C is incorrect. It is true that both Giffen goods and Veblen goods demonstrate the possibility of a positively sloping demand curve

成功=时间+方法,自制力是这个等式的保障。世上无天才,高手都是来自刻苦的练习。而人们经常只看到“牛人”闪耀的成绩,其成绩背后无比寂寞的勤奋。小编相信,每天都在勤奋练习,即使是一点点的进步,大家一定可以成为人人称赞的“牛人”。更多CFA考试资讯,点击了解>
