Homework Answers
(a) The total Income is $300 and peicw of X is $4 and that of Y is $10, according to the given graph, Zog will consume 30 units of X i.e. point E on the graph.
(b) If price of X Falls to $2.5, X will consume 35 Units of X i.e. on point F in a given graph.
(c) By taking away $75 from Zog will separate the income efect from substitution effect.
(d) Movement from point E to point C is the total rpice effect.
(e) Income effect corresponds to movement from point F to point C and Substitution effect is from point E to point F.
(f) Good X is inferior good
(g) pic attached. Engel curve for good X is backward sloping and demand curve would be upward sloping.

The graph shows Tom’s budget line and indifference curve for good x and y. The price of good x is $40 . If he uses all of his income on good Y , then 20 units of y will be consumed. If all income is spent on good x then 4 units will be consumed. What is the marginal rate of substitution of good y for x at the point where the indifference curve is tangent to the budget line?

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...

Good Y Good X The diagram above shows a budget constraint on Good X and Good Y. Point A is the original optimal bundle. Suppose Good X is an inferior good and the price of Good Y increases, draw the new budget constraint. Would the income effect increase or decrease the consumption on Good Y? Would the substitution effect increase or decrease the consumption on Good Y? If the substitution effect is larger than the income effect, indicate the new...

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.

A consumer has the utility function U(X, Y) = (X + 2)(Y + 4). Her income is $100, the price of X is $4, and the price of Y is $5. In order to maximize utility subject to her budget constraint, how many units of X and Y will our consumer choose to purchase? Sketch a budget line – indifference curve diagram illustrating this optimum. Label this optimum A. Suppose the price of X increases to $8, while income and the price...

In the diagram on the right the consumer's original budget line is L1, and the consumer buys the amount of good X at point A. Then the price of good X decreases dramatically so that the consumer's new budget line shifts to L2. After the price decrease the consumer buys the amount of good X at point C. The substitution effect due to the price change is the movement from pointto point

Suppose leisure is an inferior good for a worker. Set up this worker’s indifference curves formoney income and leisure and derive the income and substitution effects of a tax-induced wage decline. Derive the compensated labor supply curve for this worker and explain how it differs from the compensated supply curve of a worker for whom leisure is a normal good.
