1In economics, scarcity means that:
A.all goods are free because nature provides unlimited resources
B.resources are limited relative to unlimited human wants, so choices must be made
C.governments always ration every product through coupons
D.markets always clear without any opportunity costs
Explanation: Scarcity is the fundamental economic problem: productive resources are finite while wants are effectively unlimited, forcing trade-offs and opportunity costs. Bildungsplan Wirtschaft begins from these core categories of economic behavior.
2Opportunity cost is best defined as:
A.the accounting cost of materials recorded in the ledger
B.the total money spent on the chosen option
C.the value of the next-best alternative forgone when a choice is made
D.any tax paid to the government on a purchase
Explanation: Opportunity cost measures the next-best alternative given up. In BW Wirtschaft, this concept underpins household, firm, and policy decisions.
3A student spends Saturday studying for Wirtschaft instead of working a paid shift that would have earned EUR 80. What is the opportunity cost of studying?
A.EUR 0, because studying builds human capital
B.EUR 80 of forgone wages from the shift
C.the price of the textbook only
D.the school's tuition fee for the year
Explanation: By studying, the student forgoes the next-best alternative—the EUR 80 wage. That forgone wage is the opportunity cost of the study decision (ignoring other non-wage benefits for this item).
4In the standard market model, an increase in demand (shift right), with supply unchanged, typically leads to:
A.a lower equilibrium price and lower equilibrium quantity
B.a higher equilibrium price and higher equilibrium quantity
C.a higher equilibrium price and lower equilibrium quantity
D.no change in price or quantity
Explanation: A rightward demand shift raises willingness to pay at each quantity. With upward-sloping supply, the new intersection has a higher price and higher quantity.
5Ceteris paribus, which event most clearly shifts the supply curve of bread to the left?
A.a fall in the price of bread
B.a rise in consumer incomes when bread is a normal good
C.a sharp rise in the price of flour used by bakeries
D.a successful advertising campaign for bread
Explanation: Higher flour prices raise marginal costs of baking, so less bread is supplied at each bread price—a leftward supply shift. Price of bread itself is a movement along supply; income/ads affect demand.
6Price elasticity of demand measures:
A.how much quantity supplied responds to a change in input prices
B.the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price
C.the absolute change in quantity demanded when income rises by one euro
D.the slope of the production possibility frontier
Explanation: Own-price elasticity of demand is (%ΔQd)/(%ΔP). Absolute values above 1 indicate elastic demand; below 1 inelastic (with the usual caveats about signs).
7When the price of a ticket rises from EUR 20 to EUR 24 and quantity demanded falls from 500 to 400, the arc (midpoint) price elasticity of demand is closest to:
A.0.5 (inelastic)
B.1.0 (unit elastic)
C.1.22 (elastic)
D.2.5 (highly elastic)
Explanation: Midpoint method: %ΔQ = (400−500)/((400+500)/2) = −100/450 ≈ −22.22%. %ΔP = (24−20)/((24+20)/2) = 4/22 ≈ 18.18%. Elasticity ≈ 22.22/18.18 ≈ 1.22 (elastic).
8A good has price elasticity of demand of 0.4. If the firm raises price slightly, total revenue will most likely:
A.fall, because demand is elastic
B.rise, because demand is inelastic
C.stay exactly the same in all cases
D.rise only if supply is perfectly inelastic
Explanation: When |Ed| < 1, demand is inelastic: percentage quantity falls less than percentage price rises, so total revenue (P×Q) increases with a small price rise.
9Which situation best illustrates a negative externality?
A.a vaccination that also protects unvaccinated neighbors
B.a factory emitting pollution that harms nearby residents without compensation
C.a pure public good such as national defense
D.perfectly competitive pricing equal to marginal cost
Explanation: Negative externalities impose uncompensated costs on third parties. Pollution is the classic case; markets then overproduce relative to the social optimum unless internalized.
10A pure public good is typically characterized by:
A.rivalry and excludability
B.non-rivalry and non-excludability
C.rivalry but non-excludability only
D.private ownership with zero marginal cost forever
Explanation: Pure public goods are non-rival (one person's use does not reduce availability) and non-excludable (hard to prevent free riders). This creates underprovision in private markets—Bildungsplan dilemma/Trittbrettfahrer themes.
