Question1 20 O price of good x decreased O price of good y decreased
20. Goods X and Y are perfect complements. If the price of good Y falls, what will be the consequences on the substitution effect? (1) It will not affect the amount of goods X and Y that consumers buy. (2) It will cause consumers to buy more of good X and less of good Y. (3) It will cause consumers to buy more of good Y and less of good X. (4) It will affect the amount of goods X...
Figure 5-6 Good X Good Y Good Z Price Price Price Demand Quantity Quantity Quantity Refer to Figure 5-6. Identify the two goods which are substitutes. O It is not possible to distinguish any relationship among the goods. O Good X and Good Y O Good X and Good Z O Good Y and Good Z
2) Suppose that the price of good X is $2 and the price of good Y is $3. You have $90 to spend and your preferences over X and Y are defined as: U(x,y) = x2/3y1/3 Keep in mind that we review this concept because consumer choice is based on their preferences. People demand items that fulfill their Utility (perhaps happiness). As a result, we need to visualize how an individual’s budget is allocated to create the highest level...
Suppose the demand for good X is given by Xdx=20-Px+2Py+M. The price of good X is $5, the price of good Y is $15, and the income is $150. How much of good X will be purchased? Is good Y a substitute or complement of good X? Is good X a normal good or an inferior good?
Suppose the price of Good X is $4 and the price of Good Y is $3. If a consumer has a Marginal Rate of Substitution (MRSxy) of 2 for the bundle they are considering, then given their budget constraint, the consumer... Select one O a. Cannot reach a higher level of utility given their budget constraint. Ob. Would have a higher utility if they bought more of Good X. c. Would have a higher utility if they bought less of...
3. Kebbie spends all her income on good X and good Y. As the price of good X increases while the price of the price of good Y remains fixed, Kebbie's price-consumption curve is horizontal. a) Let the price of good Y be $1 per unit and Kebbie's income be M. Draw the diagram that illustrates the situation described above. b) Is good X a complement or a substitute for good Y? Explain. c) What is Kebbie's price elasticity of...
U(x, y) = x^2 + y. The price of good x is $10, and the price of good y is $1. If Ambrose’s income is $200, how many units of good x would he consume if he chose the bundle that maximizes his utility subject to his budget constraint?
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
the cross price of good x with respect to the price of good y has been estimated as being equal to -0.2. this implies that both goods are normal goods good y and good x are comlpements one of the two goods is inferior while the other is normal but we need additional information to determine which of them is inferior good y and good x are substitutes
Assume good X is on the horizontal axis, and good Y is on the vertical axis. If a consumer's budget constraint has a slope that is less than -1: O the price of good X is greater than the price of good Y. O the consumer gets more utility from good X than from good Y. O the price of good X is less than the price of good Y. O the consumer gets less utility from good X than...
