There are a lot of Chem vendors in the Capital Wasteland. Some of them sell high-quality chems with high purity. Others sell chems in a slightly cheaper price. From above, what is the market structure of Chem trade in the Capital Wasteland?
-
Perfect competition
-
Monopolistic competition
-
Oligopoly
-
Monopoly
Correct Answer
A. Monopolistic competitionExplanation
The market structure of chem trade in the Capital Wasteland is monopolistic competition. This is because there are multiple chem vendors selling similar but slightly differentiated products (high-quality chems with high purity or slightly cheaper chems). In monopolistic competition, there are many sellers with differentiated products, allowing for some control over pricing and the ability to differentiate their products through branding or product features. However, there is still competition among the sellers due to the availability of substitutes.Rate this question:

Horizontal expansion
-
Lateral expansion

A. Vertical expansionExplanation
Vertical expansion refers to the growth of a company by acquiring or merging with businesses that are part of its supply chain or distribution network.

This allows them to have more control over production, distribution, and sales, resulting in increased efficiency and profitability.Rate this question:

Study the following table: Settlers Tools Food production Marginal production 1 1 2 2 2 1 5 3 3 1 9 4 4 1 11 3 Diminishing Marginal returns occur when the _____ settler was assigned to the field
-
First
-
Second
-
Third
-
Fourth
Correct Answer
A. FourthExplanation
The table shows the relationship between the number of settlers and the corresponding food production and marginal production. As the number of settlers increases, the food production initially increases, but at a decreasing rate. The marginal production, which represents the additional food production from adding one more settler, decreases from 2 to 3 to 4. This indicates diminishing marginal returns, where the additional output gained from each additional settler decreases. Therefore, the correct answer is "Fourth" settler.Rate this question:

The following table shows the number of man-hours needed for vault 101 and Megaton to produce one 10mm pistol and one Laser rifle: Vault 101 Megaton 10mm pistol 10 man-hours 20 man-hours Laser Rifle 50 man-hours 400 man-hours If Vault 101 starts trading with Megaton, what should they import?
-
Nothing. They are more efficient in producing both items so they should make both for themselves
-
10mm pistol
-
Laser rifle
-
They should import both weapons as they can ask for a lower price
Correct Answer
A. 10mm pistolExplanation
Vault 101 should import nothing because they are more efficient in producing both the 10mm pistol and the Laser rifle. They can produce the 10mm pistol in 10 man-hours compared to Megaton's 20 man-hours, indicating that Vault 101 has a comparative advantage in producing the 10mm pistol. Therefore, they should focus on producing the 10mm pistol themselves rather than importing it from Megaton.Rate this question:

If the Legion impose an effective quota on firearms import, the total social surplus will decrease.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
If the Legion imposes an effective quota on firearms import, it means that they will limit the amount of firearms that can be imported into the country. This restriction on imports will reduce the availability of firearms in the market, leading to a decrease in supply. As a result, the equilibrium price of firearms will increase, and the quantity demanded will decrease. This decrease in quantity demanded will lead to a decrease in consumer surplus and producer surplus, resulting in a decrease in total social surplus. Therefore, the statement that the total social surplus will decrease is true.Rate this question:
