- A.
Supply
- B.
Dem and
- C.
Price
- D.
Stock Market
Correct Answer
C. PriceExplanation
In a market system, the central problems of how much and what to produce are solved through the coordination of economic activities brought about by price signals. Price signals act as a mechanism for balancing supply and demand in the market. When the price of a good or service increases, it signals that there is a higher demand for it, prompting producers to increase production to meet the demand. Conversely, when the price decreases, it indicates a lower demand, leading producers to reduce production. Therefore, price signals play a crucial role in determining the allocation of resources and guiding production decisions in a market economy.Rate this question:

_________ says that the marginal product of a factor input initially rises with its employment level. But after reaching a certain level of employment, it starts falling.
- A.
Law of diminishing marginal product
- B.
Law of variable proportions
- C.
The Short Run
- D.
The Long Run
Correct Answer
B. Law of variable proportionsExplanation
The Law of Variable Proportions states that the marginal product of a factor input initially rises with its employment level, but after reaching a certain level of employment, it starts to fall. This means that as more units of a factor input, such as labor, are added to the production process, the increase in output will eventually become smaller and smaller. This occurs because other factors of production may become limiting or there may be inefficiencies in the production process.Rate this question:
