Perfect substitutes of each other.
Straight line indifference curve shows that the two goods are perfect substitute of each other
The following graph shows a variety of possible indifference curves (labeled IC1, IC2, and IC3, respectively)...
Maria enjoys eating bagels and scones. The following graph displays one of Maria's indifference curves (11), which shows her preference for bagels and scones each month. SCONES -- + -- -- 8 10 14 BAGELS Complete the following table by determining Maria's marginal rate of substitution (MRS) between the two points listed in each row. (Note: Although Che MRS is technically always negative, enter a positive number in the following table since it asks for the amount of scones per...
The following graph shows three indifference curves and budget constraints for a consumer. The consumer is initially consuming at point A, on the indifference curve Ui and is constrained by the budget constraint BC1 (indicated by the blue line) Bc3 10 Ul BC BC 10 Suppose the government provides this consumer a subsidy on good x, which effectively lowers the price of x. This is represented by a of BC1 out away from the origin. The result is this consumer...
1. Sketch indifference curves for each of the following consumers for a day’s worth of coffee and food, and describe why the indifference curves take the shape they do. Draw the indifference curves as how they would look if the drank a range of 0 to 4 cups. a. Ron treats coffee and food as ordinary goods, but is neutral to coffee beyond 3 cups. b. For Gareth, food is always an ordinary good where more is better; however, coffee...
Instructions: Answer the following questions as completely as possible. Write your answer neatly and legibly. When drawing a graph, make sure that you label axes and curves, and include appropriate coordinates. Always show your work. Suppose that Bridget and Erin spend their incomes on two goods, food (F) and clothing (C). Bridget’s preferences are represented by the utility function U(F,C) = 10FC, while Erin’s preferences are represented by the utility function U ( F , C ) = 0.20 F^2...
