Here are important potential exam questions covering the major topics in Managerial Economics:
Conceptual Questions (10-15 marks):
1. "Managerial Economics bridges economic theory and business practice." Discuss.
2. Explain the relationship between micro and macro economics in business decision making.
3. Compare and contrast perfect competition, monopoly, and monopolistic competition markets.
4. Discuss the law of variable proportions with suitable diagrams.

Analytical Questions (15-20 marks):

1. How do demand elasticities influence pricing and revenue decisions? Explain with examples.
2. Analyze the factors affecting supply elasticity and their implications for business.
3. Evaluate the relationship between different cost curves in short-run and long-run.
4. Compare price determination under perfect competition and monopoly.
Practical/Numerical Questions (10-15 marks):

- Initial price/quantity
- Changed price/quantity
Interpret the results
2. Solve problems involving:
- TR, AR, MR calculations
- TC, AC, MC calculations
