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...

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...

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...

Jane commutes to work. She can either use public transport or her own car. Her indifference curves obey the four properties of indifference curves for ordinary goods 1. Draw Jane's budget line (BL,) with car travel on the vertical axis and public transport on the horizontal axis 2. Suppose that Jane consumes some of both goods. Explain how her optimal consumption bundle can be obtained. Then, draw an indifference curve that helps you illustrate that optimal consumption bundle represented by...

Sally consumes two goods, X and Y. Her preferences over consumption bundles are repre- sented by the utility function r, y)- .5,2 where denotes the quantity of good X and y denotes the quantity of good Y. The current market price for X is px 10 while the market price for Y is Pr = $5. Sally's current income is $500. (a) Write the expression for Sally's budget constraint.
