Refer to the table above. Assume that the price of good X is $2 per unit, the price of good Y is $5 per unit, and that the consumer spends a total of $44 on both goods. What combination of X and Y will the consumer purchase in order to maximize utility? A. We don’t have enough information of determine his consumption bundle. B. He will spend more on X than on Y because X is less expensive than Y. C....
If the price of good X is $4, the price of good Y is $2, and the marginal rate of substitution is currently 4, how could consumer increase their utility without decreasing their total expenditure? a) Purchase more Y and less X b) Purchase more X and less Y c) Do nothing; cannot improve utility while keeping spending the same d) Purchase more of X and Y

Suppose that Jim uses his budget to purchase 100 units of Good X and 100 units of Good Y. When the price of Good X rises, he purchases 50 units of Good X and 95 units of Good Y. An economist calculates his compensated budget and finds that in that scenario, Jim would buy 80 units of Good X and 105 units of Good Calculate the income effect (Remember to include a negative sign()it the effect reduces the quantity) Answer:...
A consumer’s marginal rate of substitution (MRSxy) is always 4. The price of Good X is $10 and the price of Good Y is $2. Which of the following will be true? a. The consumer will only buy Good Y. b. The consumer will only buy Good c. The consumer will spend all her income and buy some of Good X and some of Good Y. d. The consumer's expenditures on Good X will be four times more than her...
can you please explain this deeply? thank you Question 7 Consider a consumer with preferences over two goods 1 and 2. Assume that the horizontal axis pertains to the amount of good 1 and the vertical axis pertains to the amount of good 2. Suppose that, given the consumption bundle r = 10 and y = 10, a consumer's MRS (marginal rate of substitution) is equal (in absolute value) to 4. The price of good 1 is $1, the price...

1. A consumer is considering to buy only two products, X, and Y. The amount of total utility yielded by their consumption is shown in the table below. Assume that the prices of X, and Y are $8, and $2 respectively, and that the consumer has an income of $24 to spend. a) Complete the following table by computing the marginal utility and the marginal utility per dollar for successive units of product X and Y. (4 marks) b) How...
4. A consumer's demand curve for a product is downward sloping because A. total utility falls below marginal utility as more of a product is consumed. B, marginal utility diminishes as more of a product is consumed. C. time becomes less valuable as more of a product is consumed. D. the income and substitution effects precisely offset each other. 5. Consider Janice's consumption of wine and cheese. Suppose that the price of wine she buys is equal to the price...
