SECTION A: FIRST PRINCIPLES (25 QUESTIONS)
1. The study of economics primarily deals with:
A. Endless resources and limited human wants
B. Limited resources and limited human wants
C. Limited resources and unlimited human wants
D. Unlimited resources and unlimited human wants
Answer: C
Explanation: A fundamental principle of economics is that resources are scarce, but human wants are virtually
unlimited. This scarcity compels individuals and societies to make choices.
2. Which of the following is one of the core principles of individual choice?
A. People use resources inefficiently
B. Government intervention always harms efficiency
C. All costs are explicit
D. The real cost of something is its opportunity cost
Answer: D
Explanation: One of the basic “First Principles” is that the cost of something is what you give up to get it—its
opportunity cost.
3. “How people choose among alternative uses of scarce resources” refers to the concept of:
A. Scarcity
B. Efficiency
C. Equity
D. Opportunity
Answer: A
Explanation: Scarcity underlies the need for trade-offs. Because resources are limited, choices must be made.
4. “People usually respond to incentives, exploiting opportunities to make themselves better off”
implies:
A. People ignore costs when making decisions
B. Changes in incentives generally have no effect on behavior
PAGE 2
, C. People only care about profit
D. Rational individuals act in their own self-interest when incentives change
Answer: D
Explanation: This principle suggests that if incentives change, people typically adjust their behavior
accordingly.
5. When markets do not achieve efficiency, government intervention can:
A. Never help, as government tends to worsen market outcomes
B. Sometimes improve society’s welfare
C. Force a market outcome that is always less efficient
D. Make equity less important than efficiency
Answer: B
Explanation: Sometimes markets fail (e.g., externalities, public goods). Government policies (e.g., regulations,
taxes, subsidies) can improve outcomes and make society better off.
6. Marginal analysis involves comparing:
A. The total cost to the total benefit
B. The opportunity cost of all alternatives
C. The additional cost to the additional benefit
D. Average cost to average benefit
Answer: C
Explanation: Marginal analysis focuses on the additional (marginal) costs and benefits of a decision rather than
totals or averages.
7. “One person’s spending is another person’s income” reflects the idea that:
A. Markets only function if everyone saves money
B. Spending by a buyer ends up as income for a seller
C. Government spending does not affect individual incomes
D. The economy only works if everyone has a job
Answer: B
Explanation: In a market economy, expenditures by consumers or firms become revenues for producers,
creating interdependence within the economy.
