focuses on enlighten investors on why there is rapid decreases in
labour efficiency. In this right, justify the quotation by giving five
(5) points.
b) Production function is given as follows: -
Q=10L+5L2 +L3

(i). Average product and marginal product function
(ii). Number of labour and output level at the end of III stages of production
(iii). Number of labour and output at the end of second stage of production
(iv). Total product at the point where law of diminishing return start to operate.

2. a) With the aid of diagram and as far as types of price elasticity of demand are concerned, explain
how supplier will set price so those commodities and continues getting maximum revenue
(Give five points).
b) Given the following demand equation of economics books
QD1 = QD2=QD3= -2.5P + 550
Where QD= quantity demanded
P =Price measured in Tshs Per economic book
Required: -
(i). Derive the market demand function for economic book
(ii). If there are 900 economics books in total what price should be
changed to sell the entire collection
(iii). Calculate the revenue of an Individual Seller in the market if he
will be able to supply 50 books
(iv). Sketch the market Demand curve.

existence of externalities. Justify this statement by giving six causes of externalities in the
economy.
c) Examine six (6) possible solutions that a country can adapt to control negative externalities in
the economy.
