中国精算师考试《经济学基础》试题(网友回忆版)一

中国精算师考试《经济学基础》试题(网友回忆版)一

中国精算师考试《经济学基础》试题(网友回忆版)一[单选题]1.微观经济学对消费者的基本假设是()。

A.完全信息B.完全竞(江南博哥)争C.理性人D.边际效用递减E.边际技术替代率递减参考答案:C参考解析:“理性人”又称“经济人”。

“理性人”或者“经济人”的假设是对在经济社会中从事经济活动的所有人的基本特征的一个一般性的抽象。

这个被抽象出来的基本特征就是:每一个从事经济活动的人都是利己的。

也可以说,每一个从事经济活动的人所采取的经济行为都是力图以自己的最小经济代价去获得自己的最大经济利益。

这一假设条件是微观经济分析的基本前提,也是对消费者和生产者的基本假设。

[单选题]2.粮食市场的需求是缺乏弹性的,因此粮食产量因灾害而减少时,()。

A.粮食生产者的收入降低,因为粮食产量下降B.粮食生产者的收入上升,因为粮食价格更大幅度上升C.粮食生产者的收入下降,因为粮食需求更大幅度下降D.粮食生产者的收入不变,因为粮食价格的上升与粮食需求的下降比率相同E.粮食生产者的收入不确定,因为粮食价格的上升与粮食需求的下降比率不确定参考答案:B参考解析:需求的价格弹性表示需求对商品价格变动的反应尺度,它等于需求量的相对变化(百分比变化)与价格的相对变化(百分比变化)之比,用公式表示为:当E p<1时,表明需求是缺乏弹性的,因为需求量变动的百分比小于价格变动的百分比。

故此时价格上升的幅度大于产量减少的幅度,农民收入上升。

[单选题]3.连续地增加某种生产要素,在总产量达到最大时边际产量线是()。

A.与纵轴相交B.经过原点C.相交于平均产量曲线最低点D.相交于平均产量曲线最高点E.与横轴相交参考答案:E参考解析:一种投入或生产要素的总产量就是从一定量的该种生产要素投入中所获得的产量的总和。

设该投入为x,则x总产量的表达式为:TP=f(x)。

x 这种生产要素投入的边际产量是当所使用的其他生产要素投入的量保持不变时,由增加一单位x所引起的总产量的变化量,用公式表示为:MP x=dTP/dx。

A.无差异曲线B.等产量线C.等成(江南博哥)本线D.生产可能性曲线E.预算约束线参考答案:D参考解析:通常把生产可能性曲线斜率的绝对值称为产品的边际转换率。

A项,无差异曲线斜率的绝对值是边际替代率;B项,等产量曲线斜率的绝对值是边际技术替代率;C项,等成本线斜率的绝对值是两种生产要素的价格之比;E项,预算约束线斜率的绝对值是两种商品的价格之比。

[单选题]2.若某商品价格上升2%,其需求量下降10%,则该商品的需求的价格弹性是()。

A.缺乏弹性B.富有弹性C.单位弹性D.无限弹性E.完全无弹性参考答案:B参考解析:若需求的价格弹性区>1,即需求量变动的比率大于价格变动的比率,则称该商品的需求富有弹性。

本题中,E P=-(-10%÷2%)=5>1,故该商品的需求富有弹性。

[单选题]3.某厂商每年从企业的总收入中取出一部分作为自己所提供的生产要素的报酬,这部分资金被视为()。

A.直接成本B.隐含成本C.经济利润D.正常利润E.机会成本参考答案:B参考解析:企业生产的隐含成本,是与厂商所使用的自有资源(包括企业家的劳务、自己所拥有的资本等)相联系的成本,它反映着这些资源同样能够在别处使用这一事实。

Please submit your answer (attach your file electronically) before 11:59 PM, Monday, September 26. Please show your work in all cases. Good Luck!1.This question is about producer surplus and consumer surplus.a.Given a linear demand curve, if domestic consumption changes by10%, does consumer surplus also change by 10%? Why or why not?What is the relationship between change in domestic consumption andconsumer surplus?b.Is there a difference between producer surplus and profit? Explain.2.Suppose Robinson Crusoe produces fish (F) and coconuts(C). Assume thatduring a certain period, he has decided to work 200 hours and is indifferent to whether he spends this time fishing or gathering coconuts. RobinsonCrusoe’s production function for fish is given by:And his production function for coconuts is given by:where L F and L C are the number of hours spent fishing orgathering coconuts. Consequently:200Robinson Crusoe’s utility for fish and coconuts is given by: √ .(a) Write an equation for Crusoe’s PPC.(b) Show that (explain in words) if Robinson Crusoe cannot trade with rest of theworld, he will choose to allocate his labor such that slope of his PPC will equal the slope of his indifference curve (i.e., his marginal rate of product transformation (MRT) will equal his marginal rate of substitution (MRS) on the consumption side.).(c) Specifically, for this case, show that his:(d) What will the optimal values of his F and C be?(e) Suppose now that trade opens up to Robinson Crusoe and he can now trade fish and coconuts at a price of one fish for two coconuts. If Robinson Crusoe continues to produce the same quantities of F and C as before, what will he choose to consume once he is given the opportunity to trade?3.Assume that good X is a labor-intensive good and good Y is a capital-intensive good; country A is labor-abundant and country B is capital-abundant. But suppose that as w/r rises, after a point, good X in factbecomes more capital-intensive than good Y.a.Is this "factor intensity reversal" plausible? Explain.b.Show this phenomenon on the Fountain Diagram.c.Show this phenomenon on the Edgeworth Box diagram.d.Show this phenomenon on the Iso-quants drawn over K and L.4.The following equations describe the long-run situation for prices and costs,where the numbers indicate the amounts of labor and land needed to producea unit of corn and toys.P corn = 80W + 40RP toys = 100W + 30Ra.If the price of corn is initially 200 and the price of toys is initially 200,what are the values for the wage rate W and the rental rate R?b.The price of corn now increases to 240. The price of toys stays thesame. What are the new values for W and R after adjustment to thenew long-run situation?c.What is the change in the real wage (purchasing power of laborincome) with respect to each good? Is the real wage higher or lower"on average"? What is the change in the real rental rate (purchasingpower of land income) with respect to each good? Is the real rentalrate higher or lower "on average"?d.Is there a magnification effect (i.e., does the percentage real return ofthe rental rate rise change more than the percentage change in theprice of corn)?5.Consider a simplified version of the Krugman-Obstfeld model ofmonopolistic competition where each monopolistic firm faces the following demand curve:p = (α/n) –(β/s) qWhere p is the firm’s product price, n is the number of firms, s is the market size, q is the firm’s output and α, β are parameters in the demand function. The corresponding total cost curve is:Total Cost = f + cqWhere f is the fixed cost and c is the constant marginal cost. Using this model, prove that if the market size doubles, number of firms will not double and some firms will be forced out of the market.6. Briefly explain or provide short answers to ANY FIVE of the following (draw diagrams, if necessary – no need to write more than four or five sentences in each case):a)In a typical Ricardian model, if Good X is produced under monopoly in one ofthe countries, is free trade still the optimal policy?b)Usefulness of the Gravity Theory in the economics of international trade.c)Internal inconsistency of mercantilist thoughts on international trade policy.d)Hydraulic Theory of Economic Developmente)Does a small country gain more from free trade (compared to a large country)?Explain using offer curves.f)O’Rourke’s paper: What is the basic idea?g)If autarky relative prices are P x/P y = 3 in country A and Px/P y = 4 in country B,and if two international prices P x/P y = 3.25 and P x/P y = 3.75 are suggested,country A will prefer 3.75 and country B will prefer 3.25.

国际精算师真题答案解析

国际精算师真题答案解析

国际精算师真题答案解析一、引言国际精算师考试是精算领域的重要认证考试之一,对于想要在精算行业发展的人士来说至关重要。

随着精算行业的快速发展,这项考试的难度和竞争也越来越大。

本文将对国际精算师考试中的一道真题进行解析,帮助考生更好地理解解题思路和答案。

二、真题解析以下是一道国际精算师考试的真题:问题:假设当前公司的现金流贴现利率和复利增长率均为5%,已知该公司去年的年度保费为1000万美元,年度赔款为800万美元。

根据赔偿理查德恩伯奇假设,该公司的纯保费预测值为多少?解析:这道题目主要考察的是赔偿理查德恩伯奇假设的运用。

根据该假设,纯保费预测值可以通过公司的赔款和底座赔款来计算。

底座赔款是指公司承保的所有风险的平均损失,可以用赔款总额除以保费总额来计算。

根据题目中的数据,去年的年度保费为1000万美元,年度赔款为800万美元。

我们可以先计算底座赔款的值:底座赔款 = 年度赔款 / 年度保费 = 800万美元 / 1000万美元= 0.8接下来,我们可以利用复利增长的概念来计算纯保费预测值。

复利增长是指一笔初始资金在多年的复利作用下的增长情况。

根据题目中的数据,当前的现金流贴现利率和复利增长率均为5%。

我们可以利用复利增长公式来计算纯保费预测值:纯保费预测值 = 底座赔款 / (1 + 复利增长率) = 0.8 / (1 + 0.05) = 0.7619因此,根据题目所给的数据和赔偿理查德恩伯奇假设,该公司的纯保费预测值为0.7619。

三、结论通过对这道真题的解析,我们可以看到国际精算师考试中常常会涉及到精算领域的核心理论和概念。

在解答题目时,考生需要熟悉这些理论和概念,并能够灵活运用。

同时,解题过程中也需要注重细节,对题目中的关键数据和假设进行准确的理解和运用。

国际精算师考试不仅要求考生对理论的掌握,还要求他们具备较强的逻辑思维和问题解决能力。

因此,在备考过程中,考生不仅要进行理论的学习和复习,还需要进行大量的题目练习和真题解析,以提升自己的解题能力和应试水平。
