2. We note that the word 'macro' indicates large scope, while 'micro' indicates a smaller scope. And so, the difference is that microeconomics concentrates on the behavior of individual consumers and firms, while macroeconomics focusses on the performance of the entire economy.
Answer:
c. because P > MC, a basic condition for efficiency is violated.
Explanation:
An unregulated monopoly is a market in which monopoly holders have control over goods and services, giving them the ability to do whatever they like. Under unregulated monopoly, having a free market is impossible as price gouging is always evident.
In unregulated monopoly a basic condition for efficiency is violated because price is greater than marginal cost (P > MC).
Where P is the price and MC is the marginal cost of goods.

Answer:
it does not measure quality-of-life factors ; it does not account for distribution of wealth ; it fails to measure non monetary (home production) activities
Explanation:
Real GDP is the total value of goods & services produced in an economy, during a period of time. But it is not correct measure of welfare level.
- It does not measure non monetary production, like hobby production eg kitchen gardening, self made paintings, music. But, they increase welfare
- It does not take into consideration the qualitative factors affecting welfare like pollution, crime & literacy. Externalities cause extra benefit or harm to welfare level, but are excluded from GDP.
- Inequitable distribution of per capita (average) GDP increases rich poor standard of living divide. So, the distribution effect ignored make GDP an inapt measure of average welfare level.
Real GDP adjusts the value of goods & services for price change (Inflation), it is a correct measure of increase in real flow of goods & services. GDP & health positive correlation is a favouring point for GDP as a measure of welfare. So, these options are incorrect.
