Free Market Equilibrium 03 Practice Test - 11th Grade - Commerce
Question 1
At a price of INR 444.95, a pulp fiction novel is expected to sell 9,000 copies. If the novel is offered for sale at a price of INR 333.95, then the publisher can expect to sell
less than 9,000 copies
9,000 copies
more than 9,000 copies
It is impossible to predict the effect of a lower price on sales
SOLUTION
Solution : C
When the price falls, demand rises.
Question 2
If automobile manufacturers are producing cars faster than people want to buy them,
there is an excess supply and price can be expected to decrease
there is an excess supply and price can be expected to increase
there is an excess demand and price can be expected to decrease
there is an excess demand and price can be expected to increase
SOLUTION
Solution : A
If automobile manufacturers are producing cars faster than people want to buy them, there is an excess supply and price can be expected to decrease.
Question 3
If a rise in supply exceeds a rise in demand, then we should expect
the equilibrium price and quantity levels will rise.
the equilibrium price will rise while the equilibrium quantity will decline.
the equilibrium price will fall while the equilibrium quantity will rise
the equilibrium price and quantity levels will decline
SOLUTION
Solution : C
The equilibrium price will fall while the equilibrium quantity will rise.
Question 4
When the wage rate increases, the quantity of labour supplied decreases.
True
False
SOLUTION
Solution : A
Supply of labour also follows the law of supply. Wage rate is the price of labour. As wage rate increases, the quantity of labour supplied decreases.

Question 8
When both demand and supply decrease, the equilibrium quantity falls but the change in equilibrium price is ambiguous.
True
False
SOLUTION
Solution : A
True. When both demand and supply decrease, the equilibrium quantity falls but the change in equilibrium price is ambiguous.
