When Carla made $400 each month, she bought 40 units of food at
$10 per unit and no shelter, which
cost $20 a unit. Then she received a raise to $600 each month and
she began consuming 30 units of food
at the same price and 15 units of shelter, which still cost $20 per
unit. Sketch Carla’s income-
consumption curve for food. Also sketch her Engel curve for food
and indicate whether food is a normal
or inferior good.
Homework Answers
As income rises, consumption of F falls, so it's an inferior good, bcoz engel curve slopes downwards

a. The Smith family has an income of $1,000 per month, and currently spends $400 monthly on food. Assume that the initial price of a unit of food is $1, and the initial price of a unit of “all other goods” is also $1. Draw this budget line, and also an indifference curve – which we assume has the standard shape – that the family can just reach, given its budget. b. The government considers that the Smith family is...

It costs Camp, Inc. $46 per unit to manufacture 1,000 units per month of a product that it can sell for $76 each. Alternatively, Camp could process the units further into a more complex product, which would cost an additional $39 per unit. Camp could sell the more complex product for $107 each. How would processing the product further affect Camp's profit? Profit would increase by $8,000. Profit would increase by $31,000. Profit would decrease by $8,000. Profit would decrease...
