Ques. 6

Prime Pharmaceuticals has developed a new asthma medicine, for which it has a patent. An inhaler can be produced at a constant marginal cost of 2/inhaler.
 
  The demand curve, marginal revenue curve, and marginal cost curve for this new asthma inhaler are in the figure above.

  C) underprovision of the HPV vaccine but no deadweight loss.
  D) underprovision of the HPV vaccine and a deadweight loss.

(Answer to Q. 1)  C

(Answer to Q. 2)  D

(Answer to Q. 3)  A person is risk averse if his or her expected utility from a risky situation is less than the utility he or she would receive from having, with certainty, the expected wealth from the risky situation.

(Answer to Q. 4)  B

(Answer to Q. 5)  D

(Answer to Q. 6)  C

(Answer to Q. 7)  The efficient scale is the quantity produced when average total cost is at its minimum. In the long run, a firm in monopolistic competition operates below the efficient scale when maximizing profits. The difference between the efficient scale and the quantity produced by a firm is the excess capacity. Because the firm is not producing at the efficient scale, its average total cost is higher than if it produced at the efficient scale.

(Answer to Q. 8)  D

(Answer to Q. 9)  C

(Answer to Q. 10)  Expected utility is the average utility arising from all possible outcomes.
