8.Scarcity occurs because of: • the limited supply of resources. • overutilization of labor. • the excess of quantity supplied over quantity demanded. • limited human needs and wants. 9.The exhibit given below shows the demand curve for Good X, labeled D. At a price of $6 per unit, the quantity demanded of Good X is 5 units. A decrease in price to $4 per unit increases the quantity demanded to 8 units.

If the government were to impose a binding price ceiling, it should set the price at: • $120 per ticket, which would give rise to a shortage of 10,000 tickets. • $120 per ticket, which would give rise to a surplus of 20,000 tickets. • $80 per ticket, which would give rise to a shortage of 16,000 tickets. • $80 per ticket, which would give rise to a surplus of 8,000 tickets. 23.Which of the following is an example of adverse selection? • Patrick uses the service of a mechanic to inspect the condition of a second-hand Dodge he is interested in buying. • Harry refuses to buy health insurance at high premiums because he feels that he is in good health. • Thomas refuses to pay for the construction of a swimming pool in his neighborhood that will be open to the public free of cost. • When the National Museum increased its entry fee, there wa

He hires 10 workers in a perfectly competitive market to help him with picking oranges. Given this information, it can be said that: • the demand for workers is a positive function of the prevailing market wage rate. • the demand curve for orange pickers is vertical. • Mike can employ only 10 workers as the supply of workers is fixed in a perfectly competitive labor market. • Mike cannot bargain with the workers over their wage rates
