Economics MCQs cover fundamental concepts of microeconomics and macroeconomics, including demand and supply, inflation, national income, and economic policies.
This section is designed to strengthen analytical skills and conceptual understanding for competitive examinations.
Highly useful for PPSC, FPSC, NTS, OTS, KPPSC, and other testing services preparation.

B Price to fall and output to remain unchanged
C Prices to fall and output to fall
D prices to rise and output to remain unchanged
Correct Answer: prices to rise and output to remain unchanged

According to the wealth effect aggregate demand slopes downward (negatively) because ?
A lower prices increase the value of money holding and consumers spending increase
B lower prices decrease the value of money holding and consumers spending decrease
C lower prices reduce money holding increase lending, interest rates fall and investment spending increase
D lower prices increase money holding decrease lending, interest rates rise and investment spending falls
Correct Answer: lower prices increase the value of money holding and consumers spending increase

B lower prices increase the value of money holding and consumer spending increases
C lower prices decrease the value of money holdings and consumers spending decreases
D lower prices reduce money holdings increase lending interest rates fall, and investment spending increase
Correct Answer: lower prices reduce money holdings increase lending interest rates fall, and investment spending increase
Policy makers are said to “accommodate” an adverse supply shock if they ?
A fail to respond to the adverse supply shock and allow the economy to adjust on its own.
B respond to the adverse supply shock by decreasing aggregate demand which lower prices
C respond to the adverse supply shock by decreasing short run aggregate supply
D respond to the adverse supply shock by increasing aggregate demand, which further raises prices
Correct Answer: respond to the adverse supply shock by increasing aggregate demand, which further raises prices
