Q1. A company reports revenue of $500,000 and expenses of $350,000 during a fiscal year.
Which financial statement would primarily reflect this performance, and what is the
resulting net income? hard and difficult level
A. Balance Sheet; $150,000
B. Income Statement; $150,000
C. Cash Flow Statement; $500,000
D. Statement of Equity; $350,000
Correct Answer: 🔴 B. Income Statement; $150,000
Explanation: 🟡 The income statement shows revenues and expenses to calculate net
income. Net income = $500,000 - $350,000 = $150,000. The balance sheet reflects assets
and liabilities, not performance. Cash flow tracks cash movements, not profit. Statement of
equity shows changes in ownership equity.
, Q2. If demand for a product is highly elastic, what is the expected consumer response to a
price increase? hard and difficult level
A. Quantity demanded remains unchanged
B. Quantity demanded decreases significantly
C. Total revenue increases
D. Demand curve shifts right
Correct Answer: 🔴 B. Quantity demanded decreases significantly
Explanation: 🟡 Elastic demand means consumers are sensitive to price changes. A price
increase leads to a large drop in quantity demanded. Revenue typically decreases. The
demand curve does not shift—movement occurs along the curve.
Q3. Which managerial accounting concept focuses on the additional cost of producing
one more unit? hard and difficult level
A. Fixed Cost
B. Average Cost
C. Marginal Cost
D. Sunk Cost
Correct Answer: 🔴 C. Marginal Cost
Explanation: 🟡 Marginal cost represents the cost of producing one additional unit. Fixed
costs do not change with output. Average cost is total cost divided by units. Sunk costs are
past costs and irrelevant for decisions.
