Q1. Which of the following best describes a niche marketing strategy?

A. Targeting the whole market with one standardised product
B. Targeting a small, specific segment of the market with tailored products
C. Selling only through mass-market retailers
D. Using the lowest price in the industry to win all customers

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: B. Targeting a small, specific segment of the market with tailored products

Niche marketing focuses resources on a small, well-defined segment with specific needs, allowing a firm to charge premium prices and build strong customer loyalty. Mass marketing instead targets the whole market with a single, standardised offering.

Q2. A firm's contribution per unit is £15 and fixed costs are £60,000. What is the break-even output in units?

A. 3,000 units
B. 4,000 units
C. 5,000 units
D. 6,000 units

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: B. 4,000 units

Break-even output = fixed costs ÷ contribution per unit = 60,000 ÷ 15 = 4,000 units. At this output, total contribution exactly covers fixed costs so profit is zero. A common error is dividing fixed costs by selling price instead of contribution per unit.

Q3. A factory's output rises by 10% after installing new equipment, while the number of employees stays the same but average hours worked increase by 15%. What has happened to labour productivity?

A. It has fallen, because output has grown by less than hours worked
B. It has risen, because output has grown
C. It is unchanged, because employee numbers stayed the same
D. It cannot be measured because equipment costs are unknown

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: A. It has fallen, because output has grown by less than hours worked

Labour productivity should be assessed relative to the input used to generate it; if measured per hour worked, output rising 10% while hours rise 15% means output per hour has actually fallen. Simply noting that output rose ignores that more hours were needed to achieve it. Productivity depends on the input-output ratio, not employee headcount alone when hours have changed.
