| Sabs | Does this not depend on where you are in the curve? If diminishing marginal returns then cost curves move upwards |
| AUAU | tricky Q. |
| boddunah | good one. tricky. chose ii as an answer ,but wrong. thought it was marginal cost and average cost. did not look at "product" part in marginal product. |
| indrasenareddy | can some one please eleaborate. Marginal product sounds very abstract. can it be equated with marginal revenue. what is diff btw productivity and marginal product. |
| JohnnyWu | Knew something wasn't right. |
| thekobe | the relationship between marginal product and cost curves is inverse, thus none of the answers makes sense |
| kondagadu | they should alteast have the option none of the above to reflect the choices we get in the exam |
| schweitzdm | kondagadu, I believe there are no questions on the CFA exam that have answers such as "all of the above" or "none of the above." (Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken!) This is a basic question. For questions that are more like the exams, check the 'review question' area. |
I passed! I did not get a chance to tell you before the exam - but your site was excellent. I will definitely take it next year for Level II.
