True/False/Uncertain. For each question, answer “True” or “False” or “Uncertain” and explain your answer.
(1) In any game between two firms that is repeated only once, the outcome will be perfect competition (P=MC).
(2) Suppose that regulators decide to increase the gasoline tax by 25 cents per gallon to combat global warming. Then consumers will pay substantially more for every gallon of gas they purchase.
Homework Answers
a) "Fasle"
If the game is repeated only once then in that case the output wil not be perfct competition but both the firm will try to maximise their profit and end up getting a lowest outcome that will casue a wastage.
b) "True"
As the demand for the gasoline is more inelastic then the increased price will casue an excess burden on the consumer. Hte supplier will shift it all to the consuemrs.

1. True/False/Uncertain (30 marks) Answer each of the following statements True/False/Uncertain. Give a full explanation of your answer including graphs where appropriate. (When in doubt, always include a fully labeled graph.) A) As a general rule of thumb, the S-D model is appropriate for examining markets with many buyers, but few firms. B) Under standard assumptions, the S-D model shows that equilibrium only occurs on the inelastic portion of the demand curve. C) The principle of non-satiation is a standard...

Are the following statements True / False / Uncertain? Support your answer with explanation. 1. It is even better for a perfectly competitive firm to produce output even though it is loosing money. 2. If the output elasticity of the total cost is less than one, we have disec- onomies of scale. 3. Inputs are perfect substitutes when one input can always be substitutes for the other on fixed terms and thus corresponding production function is called fixed-proportion production function....

Please select true or false or uncertain 1.If the cross elasticity of demand is negative, then the demand curve is not a good measure of willingness to pay. 2. The income elasticity of demand can never exceed, in absolute terms, two times the price elasticity of demand, if the good in question is a superior good. 3. Since marginal costs cannot be negative, the firm will never operate at the point on the demand curve where the price demand elasticity...
