The bedroom doors fluttered open and the light flickered on. Before me, a tall man appeared from the back room. His shirt was torn at the bottom and his hair was filled with lint. He held my eldest brother, Jonathan, eleven, mercilessly by the neck. Jonathan’s long and lanky legs dangled in midair. His cinnamon brown face slowly turned pulsing red. He scratched the tall man’s face to fight him off, but the tall man squeezed harder. Jonathan’s arms fell to his side and his legs grew limp. In my four-year-old mind, nothing made sense. The bustle of the St. Louis ghetto that normally bled into the night was nonexistent. The world around me stopped. The piercing sound of my eldest brother gasping for air echoed in my head. He could not breathe, and I had stood there, helplessly watching. My brothers and sisters were at home that night. Crystal, three, and Maria, two, both fast asleep. Ricardo, five, must have been asleep in the other room. Andres, ten, who was known for his quick temperament, watched stiffly from the hallway, his nose flared, and his forehead filled with veins. He dashed into the other room and returned with a hammer in his right hand, ready to pounce. The tall man smirked. My mother, who was out a lot, was at home that night. She saw the sinister look on the man’s face and quickly ran to Andres. “Give me the hammer,” she said, ripping it from my brother’s hand. Her terror filled eyes shifted towards the tall man, whose nails were still planted deeply in Jonathan’s throat. She leaped into the air and swung the hammer, hitting the tall man in the temple. The man stumbled backwards, his cheeks landing firmly against the wooden floors, his mouth and eyes wide open, blood oozing from his head. The world around us stopped. .

1.The four types of market structures we study in economics are perfect competition, monopoly, oligopoly, and monopsony. True False 2. The long run is considered to be the period when a firm's inputs are mainly variable and at least one input is fixed. True False 3.The government regulates a pure monopoly by setting price where AVC (average variable costs) = D (demand). True False 4.Monopolies, since no close substitutes nor competitors exist, can price whatever they want and still maximize total revenues. True False 5.As competition increases in markets, the demand curve for products becomes more price elastic and downward pressure on prices tends to ensue. True False 6. As an imperfect competitor produces more and more output, we can assume that eventually marginal costs will continue to rise and marginal revenues to fall. TRUE FALSE 7. Generally speaking, consumer surplus will be highest in a perfectly competitive market structure. True False 8.The point where imperfect competitors will price their products and earn the highest level of total revenues is at the midpoint of the demand curve where total revenues are highest on the total revenue curve. True False In general, we can expect higher barriers of entry for a monopolistically competitive market structure than an oligopoly market structure. True False 10. Monopolistic competition would represent the market structure within which Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola firms operate. True False 11. The perfect competitor can produce as much as it wants or as little as it wants with no effects on market price whatsoever. True False 12. Oligopolies and monopolies attempt reduce output and raise price, thereby incurring overcapacity and waste to society. True False 13.Redistribution of income from wealthier individuals to lower-income individuals by government in the form of higher taxes and progressive tax systems actually tends to lower prosperity because it weakens the link between productive activity and the reward derived from it, encourages resources to flow into wasteful rent-seeking activities, as well as higher tax rates required to finance redistribution result in resources being devoted toward tax avoidance activities. True False 14. Decreasing the percentage tariff price on an imported good will result in greater market share for the foreign producer in the domestic country. True False 15.Which market structure can earn long-run economic profits? a. Perfect competition b. Monopolistic competition c. Oligopoly d. Monopoly e. c and d only 16. All firms produce where a. short-run profits are less than long-run profits b. average total costs are greater than marginal costs c. marginal revenues are greater than or equal to marginal costs d. marginal benefits are greater than marginal profits 17.
