The slope of the dotted line represents the current relative prices of X and Y. The graph shows the desired purchases of the goods by the consumers given those prices.
A. Are there: no shortages, a shortage of Y, or a shortage of X?
B. Draw new indifference curves and a new line representing the prices such that the markets for the goods are in equilibrium.

Consider a pure exchange economy with two individuals (A and B) and two goods (x and y). The utility functions are given by UA(xA, yA) = min[xA, yA] UB(xB, yB) = min[xB, yB], where xi and yi are the quantities of the two goods consumed by individual i = A, B. The total endowments are wx = 10 and wy = 5. (a) Represent the indifference curves of both individuals in the Edgeworth box and find the Pareto set. (b)...

Assume X and Y are economic goods. Plot X on the x axis and Y on the y axis using graph paper. Assume income is $50 and the price of X is $2.50 and the price of Y is $5.00. Draw the original budget line and show a utility maximizing interior equilibrium using an indifference curve. a. Draw a new budget line if the price of X falls to $2.00. Show using indifference curves the substitution and income effects if...

(a) Put wine x on the horizontal axis and cheese y on the vertical axis. Measure goods for consumer A from the lower left and goods for consumer B from the upper right. Mark the initial allocation with the letter W. Draw the indifference curves for each person through this point. Calculate utility at this allocation for both consumers. Is the initial resource allocation consistent with Pareto efficiency? Explain. (b) Solve for the contract curve of Pareto efficient allocations in...

Consider a pure exchange economy with two goods, wine (x) and cheese (y) and two con- sumers, A and B. Let cheese be the numeraire good with price of $1. Consumer A's utility function is UA(x; y) = 2x+y and B's utility function is UB(x; y) = xy. A's initial allocation is 10 units of x and 0 units of y. B's initial allocation is 0 units of x and 30 units of y. (a) Put wine x on the...

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...

Description of the economy: For each of the following problems, consider a 2x2 Exchange Economy with two consumers A and B, and two goods X and Y . The preferences of consumer A can be represented by the utility function uA(xA, yA) = xAyA , where xA is the amount of good A consumed by consumer A, and yA is the amount of good Y consumed by consumer A. The preferences of consumer B can be represented by the utility...

a consumers income is $100. prices of goods X and Y are $1 per unit. suppose the consumer facing such prices chooses the bundle that includes 60 units of good Y. next, the price of good X increases to $2 per unit. the consumer's new choice involves a bundle with 40 units of good X. is X a normal good,an inferior good,or is there insufficient information to answer this question? explain using a graph and the concepts of income and...
