(Answer to Q. 1)  TRUE

(Answer to Q. 2)  The fallacy of composition is the incorrect belief that what is true for a part is necessarily true for the whole. For example, intensive fishing in an area by a boat may increase profits earned by the boat owner. However, if many boats excessively fish in the same area, the stock of fish will become depleted and all will be worse off.

(Answer to Q. 3)  FALSE

(Answer to Q. 4)  B

(Answer to Q. 5)  It is profitable to hire this worker because the worker's value of marginal product is 150 a day (the price, 10, times the marginal product, 15 units), which exceeds the wage rate of 100 a day. The worker creates 150 more revenue for the firm at a cost of only 100. Hence it is profitable to hire this worker.

(Answer to Q. 6)  FALSE

(Answer to Q. 7)  C

(Answer to Q. 8)  FALSE

(Answer to Q. 9)  Probably not. Lower crime rates can occur for many reasons including a change in the age distribution of the population and lower unemployment rates. One cannot simply conclude that the lawmakers in office were responsible for the lower crime rates, until other plausible reasons have been ruled out.
