    Economics 4130 Final Study Guide

    Instructions. The final exam will consist of 2 questions chosen from the following list and 1 from the midterm list. Your answers must be written in blue or black ink in the exam booklets provided in class; answers in any other color or pencil will not be graded and result in a zero. Please start each question on a new page of the booklet. On the front page of your first booklet, you should only write your name, “Econ 4130 Final”, the number of booklets used, and if you are a graduating senior as shown in the example “Front Page of Exam Booklet” on Carmen. If you use multiple booklets be sure to label them like “2 of 3” so it is obvious what order they go in. Furthermore, no answers written on the front page will be graded. Good luck! 1. Briefly describe the Industrial Revolution. Provide an explanation with explicit examples as to why Britain was the first to industrialize. 2.

So as you can see you could get to a point were buying more units would work negatively because you would no longer be gaining anything (Cliff 's Notes, 2013).…
