Answer
Option 2
the budget line represents the combination of affordable bundles in
the given income if the prices decrease the consumer can afford
more so the line shifts outward and now the consumer can consume on
the higher indifference.

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...

Lorelai's choice behavior can be represented by the utility function u(x1, 2) 0.9n(x)0.1x2. The prices of both xi and x2 are $5 and she has an income of $40. 1. What preference does this utility function represent? (Hint: the utility is function is not linear, but at least linear in good x2) 2. Drawinwg indifference curves: you can copy down the graph on your paper using econgraphs. Set the preferences and parameters accordingly as given in the question. Click on...

Please answer the following question. Please show all your work/explanation. This question asks you to recall what you know about how we study the choices of individual consumers. We will focus on an American tourist consumer in Tehran who must decide how many Persian Rugs (R) and how many ounces of Saffron (S) to purchase. Assume our consumer has complete, transitive preferences over Rugs and Saffron and prefers more to less. Explain in words the meaning of these assumptions. Draw...

1 [75 points; Chapter 5] You are to solve the consumer choice problem for three different consumers. Each consumer has $150 to spend (income) and faces prices Px = $2 and Py = $3 for goods X and Y. Consumers I, II, and III have utility functions U'(X, Y) = X? + Y, U"(X, Y) = X12 + Yl2, and UTM(X, Y) = X´Y, respectively. For each consumer, do the following steps. a [15 points] Carefully express the consumer's choice...

Suppose an individual’s utility function for two goods X and Y is givenby U(X,Y) = X^(3/4)Y^(1/4) Denote the price of good X by Px, price of good Y by Py and the income of the consumer by I. a) (2 points) Write down the budget constraint for the individual. b) (4 points) Derive the marginal utilities of X and Y. c) (3 points) Derive the expression for the marginal rate of substitution of X for Y. Write down the tangency...
