2. Identifying normal, inferior, and Giffen goods The green line BC, on the following graph represents your initial budget constraint for good X and good Y, and point A represents the optimal consumption choice, given this choice set. Suppose the price of good X dropped by 50%. The compensated budget is parallel to BC2, representing the same tradeoff between good X and good Y, and it is tangent to the given indifference curve (U) at point B. On the following...

Homework 3 Chapter 5: Demand 1. What happens to the amount of x and y consumed when income falls if x and y are normal goods? Draw a budget constraint (before the income decrease) and a convex utility curve that corresponds to the optimal consumption bundle. Draw a new budget constraint (after income falls) and a new convex utility curve that corresponds to the optimal consumption bundle. Has the amount of x and y consumed increased or decreased due to...

The utility function is u = x1½ + x2, and the budget constraint is m = p1x1 + p2x2. Derive the optimal demand curve for good 1, x1(p1, p2), and good 2, x2(m, p1, p2). Looking at the cross price effects (∂x1/∂p2 and ∂x2/∂p1) are goods x1 and x2 substitutes or complements? Looking at income effects (∂x1/∂m and ∂x2/∂m) are goods x1 and x2 inferior, normal or neither? Assume m=100, p1=0.5 and p2=1. Using the demand function you derived in...

Suppose a family spends their income on two things: education (S) and all other goods, (X). The family earns $60,000 a year. A unit of education costs $10,000 and a unit of other goods costs $15,000. a) Write the equation for the family’s budget constraint. b) Draw the family’s budget constraint. Put education spending on the x-axis and spending on all other goods on the y-axis. c) The local government opens a public school, which offers $20,000 worth of education...
