IGNOU BECC-101 (July 2023 - January 2024) Assignment Questions

Assignment One

Answer the following Descriptive Category questions in about 500 words each. Word limit does not apply in case of numerical questions.

1. (a) Consider the figure below where capital (K) and labour (L) are the factors of production in producing output. IA,IB, IC, ID represent isoquants for output levels 800, 900, 1000 and 1100 units, respectively

(i) Identify the returns to scale represented by the above set of isoquants. What are the factors that lead to such returns to scale?
(ii) Expansion of output by a firm comes with increasing average unit cost of production. Identify the phenomenon in terms of scale economies. Also discuss the reasons behind such a phenomenon.

(b) What are the reasons behind internal economies and internal diseconomies of scale faced by a firm?

2. a) Using appropriate diagrams compare and contrast long-run equilibrium conditions faced by a firm under perfect and monopolistic competition market structures.
(b) A firm operating in a competitive market faces a marginal cost function given by
MC(Q) = 2Q + 100
where MCis the marginal cost, Q represents level of output produced and P is the price. If the unit price of output is Rs 60, what level of output will maximize profits? What will be the maximum profit? At what minimum price will the firm produce a positive output?

Assignment Two

Answer the following Middle Category questions in about 250 words each. Word limit does not apply in application part of the question.

3 (a) Illustrate with the help of a diagram, higher the price elasticity of demand, larger will be the per unit tax burden borne by the producers.
(b) Using appropriate diagrams, compare and contrast the shapes of demand and supply curves when there are multiple equilibriums with the shapes of demand and supply curves when there is a unique equilibrium with respect to a commodity.

4. Explain the concept of Technical efficiency. Technical efficiency will not necessarily ensure overall Pareto optimum product mix. Why?

5. With the help of a diagram, illustrate the deadweight loss associated with a negative externality. How does a Pigouvian tax work to solve the welfare loss from such a deadweight loss?

Assignment Three

Answer the following Short Category questions in about 100 words each. Word limit does not apply in application part of the question.

6. Why does the marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) decline as we move rightward and downward along a convex-shaped isoquant?

7. The concept of quasi-rent is an extension of the Ricardian concept of rent to other factors of production. Elucidate.

8. The concept of quasi-rent is an extension of the Ricardian concept of rent to other factors of production. Elucidate.

9. Discuss the concept of excess capacity associated with the long run equilibrium under Monopolistic competition.

10. Draw an income consumption curve in case the good marked on the horizontal axis is a necessity good while that marked on the vertical axis is a superior good.

IGNOU BECC-101 (July 2022 - January 2023) Assignment Questions

Assignment One

1. (a) Using appropriate diagrams compare the level of production when there is a positive production externality with the production level when there is a negative production externality. How can the resulting inefficient production levels be corrected?
(b) Discuss the various factors that distort the ability of Competitive markets to achieve efficiency.

2. (a) Using appropriate diagrams discuss the income and substitution effects of a price change in case of an inferior good.
(b) With respect to the demand and supply analysis, discuss the Walrasian equilibrium and the Walrasian stability condition.
(c) Consider Figure 1, where DD and D’D’ represent the two different demand curves for a commodity in two different markets. Compare the two demand curves in terms of the price elasticity of demand.

Assignment Two

3. (a) Given that a firm experiences a linear homogenous production function, comment upon the shape of the Expansion path, both in the long run and in the short run.
(b) Consider the following Table which gives total cost schedule of a firm. Given that the average fixed cost of producing 2 units of output is Rs. 10. Find the total variable cost, total fixed cost, average variable cost, average fixed cost, short-run average cost, and short-run marginal cost schedules of the firm for the corresponding values of output.

4. (a) Draw a kinked demand curve and explain how a change in marginal costs may not affect the price in the market.
(b) A Monopoly faces market demand given by Q = 30 – P, where Q stands for quantity and P for price. Total cost function is given by C(Q) = 2Q2. Find the profit maximizing price and quantity and the resulting profit to the monopoly. Compare your results with the equilibrium quantity and price of that of a perfect competitive industry.

5. (a) With the help of a diagram show the effect of the minimum wage rule on the labour market given that the wage is set above the market equilibrium wage rate.
(b) What will be the resultant effects on the labour market if the minimum wage is set below the market equilibrium wage rate?

Assignment Three

6. Discuss the types of non-cooperative behaviour under Oligopoly

7. Law of Diminishing returns applies only in the short-run. Do you agree?

8. Illustrate the relation between the Value of Marginal product and Marginal Revenue product of a factor under perfect competition.

9. Discuss the central problems of an Economy.

10. Illustrate with the help of a diagram, higher the price elasticity of supply, larger will be the per unit tax burden borne by the consumers.
