Income & Subtitution Effects, Deriving Market Demand 2. Suppose Josh's preference for pancakes and cereal are represented by U=XY. Initially he has I=20, the price of pancakes is $4/ each, and the price of cereal is $2/ bowl. His optimal consumption bundle initially is 5 cereal bowls and 2.5 pancakes. Suppose next that cereal is on sale this week, so its price drops to $1/bowl. Now Josh buys 6.7 cereals and 1.6 pancakes. His cereal consumption increased from 5 to...
3. (10 points) Income and substitution effects A consumer's utility is given by U(x, y) = xy. Income is m and prices are given by p and Py (a) Find the demand functions for x and y. (b) What is demand for each good if p 2 and py 1 and income is m = (c) If price of x fell to pa 1, what is the consumer's new bundle? (d) How much of the response in the consumption of...
Suppose that a consumer has a utility function given by u(x1, x2) = 2x1 + x2. Initially the consumer faces prices (2, 2) and has income 24. i. Graph the budget constraint and indifference curves. Find the initial optimal bundle. ii. If the prices change to (6, 2), find the new optimal bundle. Show this in your graph in (i). iii. How much of the change in demand for x1 is due to the substitution effect? How much due to...
A consumer has a demand function for good 2, ?2, that depends on the price of good 1, ?1, the price of good 2, ?2, and income, ?, given by ?2 = 2 + 240 + 2?1. Initially, assume ? = ??2 40, ?2 = 1, and ?1 = 2. Then the price of good 2 increases to ?2′ = 3. a) What is the total change in demand for good 2? [2 marks] b) Calculate the amount of good...
3. (10%) In this question, we'll focus on Income and substitution effects. Consider the following three graphs, which Illustrate the preferences of three consumers (Bob, Carol, and Ted) regarding two goods, apples and peaches. Each consumer has an income of $30, and each consumer pays $2 for apples and $3 for peaches. a. Suppose that the price of peaches falls to $2. Draw a new budget line for each consumer and find the new optimal bundle chosen. How doe the...
Show the substitution effect, income effect, and total effect from a price increase using the equivalent variation approach In the figure, the individual is initially maximizing utility at bundle eq on budget line L' on indifference curve l. Then the price of good X increases, pivoting the budget line to L. The consumer maximizes utility at the new prices at bundle e2 on indifference curve l 2 1.) Using the line drawing tool, draw a new budget line representing the...
only question that is problem is (i) many thanks . Problem 1 [32 marks] A consumer has a demand function for good 2, X, that depends on the price of good I. P. the price of good 2. Pz, and income, m, given by xy = 2+ +2P. Initially, assume m= 40, P-1, and P = 2. Then the price of good 2 increases to P = 3. a) What is the total change in demand for good 2? [2...
Catherine has a monthly income of $500, which she spends on pizzas and a composite of all other goods, the price of a pizza is $5. 2. Catherine has a monthly income of $500, which she spends on pizzas and a composite of all other goods. The price of a pizza is $5 a. Draw Catherine's budget constraint. Label your values of the intercepts and the slope of the budget constraint. (Place pizza on the horizontal axis) b. Assume Catherine...
please be quick NSA 75BC-45DAY. 1994 # 2 of 2 OS Ted enjoys eating both apples (A) and Peaches (P). He has $30 to spend on the two goods each week. Initially. apples cost $2 per pound and peaches cost $3 per pound Suppose the price of peaches falls to $2. Using the information from the table illustrate Tod's bedoeline, the new budget line, his 3 bundles (bundles A, B, and C), and two indifference curve sure to label everything...
1. (24 total points) Suppose a consumer’s utility function is given by U(X,Y) = X1/2*Y1/2. Also, the consumer has $72 to spend, and the price of Good X, PX = $4. Let Good Y be a composite good whose price is PY = $1. So on the Y-axis, we are graphing the amount of money that the consumer has available to spend on all other goods for any given value of X. a) (2 points) How much X and Y...
