Three tasks from the book, from easy to hard. Mark each statement, check your answers, then use the arrow for the next task.

Task 1 / 3

Economics: Perfect competition

Easy

If a market for a specific good is described as perfectly competitive, which of the following statements is true or false?

  1. a)Every firm in the market offers a unique version of the good.

    In perfect competition all firms sell an identical (homogeneous) good.

  2. b)Every firm in this market consistently makes significant profits.

    Profits are not guaranteed. In the long run they are driven to zero.

  3. c)The market price is consistently above the marginal cost of production.

    Firms produce where price equals marginal cost.

  4. d)There are no obstacles for firms to enter or leave the market.

    Free market entry and exit is one of the defining features.

  5. e)The market consists of a few firms, all of which charge the same price.

    Perfect competition requires many firms, not a few.

Task 1.1 from the Economics part.

Task 2 / 3

English: Grammar

Medium

Which of the following statements is/are grammatically correct?

  1. a)The management implemented the new measures as soon as they have been approved by the CEO.

    Sequence of tenses: "as soon as they had been approved".

  2. b)You must register your interest in the workshop until Tuesday, 18 June, if you wish to attend.

    For a deadline use "by", not "until".

  3. c)We have recently introduced a new dress code for our customer-facing staff, while employees in the back office are free to wear whatever they find most comfortable.

    Correct.

  4. d)Please assure that you submit early to avoid any potential technical issues.

    "Assure" means to promise somebody something. The correct verb here is "ensure" (make sure).

  5. e)As the climate grows increasingly unpredictable, it is crucial to assure your home against natural disasters such as floods, fires, and even tornadoes.

    You "insure" your home. "Assure" means to promise.

Task 14.5 from the English part.

Task 3 / 3

Math: Single variable optimization

Hard

The profit of a company (in EUR 1,000) as a function of the quantity x produced (in 1,000 units) is given below. Which of the following statements is/are correct?P(x) = −x³ + 12x² − 21x − 10,  x ≥ 0

  1. a)P has a local maximum at x = 7.

    P′(x) = −3(x − 1)(x − 7), so the maximum is at x = 7.

  2. b)For x ≥ 0, the maximum profit is EUR 88,000.

    P(7) = 88, which is larger than P(0) = −10.

  3. c)P has a local minimum at x = 1, where the loss amounts to EUR 10,000.

    P(1) = −20, so the loss is EUR 20,000.

  4. d)The marginal profit P′(x) is highest at x = 4.

    P″(x) = −6x + 24 = 0 at x = 4.

  5. e)The profit is increasing for all x > 1.

    P decreases for x > 7.
