Thomas can two goods he can buy, good 1 and 2, and has M dollars in income. Derive the demand curve for Thomas for good 1 if good 1 is a Giffen good. Explain how this can be possible? Can Thomas’s demand curves for both goods be Giffen goods? Explain.

Eugenia can consume two goods, good 1 and good 2 where xi and Xz denote the quantity consumed of each good. These goods sell at prices P. and P2, respectively. Eugenia's income is I and her preferences are given by: U(x1, x2) = x2x2 a) Are goods 1 and 2 perfect complements, perfect substitutes or imperfect substitutes to Eugenia? Explain. b) Derive Eugenia's demand functions for the two goods. c) Assume that p1 = P2 = $5 and 7 =...

rick purchses two goods food and clothing
1. Rick purchases two goods, food and clothing. He has a diminishing marginal rate of substi- tution of food for clothing. Let z denote the amount of food consumed and y the amount of elothing. Suppose the price of food increases from P to P (> P). On a clearly labeled graph, illustrate the income and substitution effects of the price change on the consumption of food. Do so for each of the...

1a. Consider two goods: x and y where y is a numeraire good. Suppose that x is a normal good. Graphically derive the demand curve for good x based on the indifference curve framework by working out the optimal consumption choices when the price of good x falls. 1b. Rework 1a but now good x is an inferior good (but not a Giffen good).

Problem 2 1. Bob consumes two types of goods. He thinks that a consumption bundle (xı, x2) is at least as good as a bundle (yı, y2) if and only if x1 2 y and x2 2 y2. Are his weak preferences complete? Reflexive? Transitive? 2. Randy hates studying both economics and history. The more time he spends studying either subject, the less happy he is. But Randy has strictly convex preferences. (a) Sketch an indifference curve for Randy where...

2. Some products compete closely with one another for the consumers' dollars. You may buy one or you may buy the other but you probably won't buy both. These products are said to be _ for each other. For these products, if the price of good Brises, the demand for good A For these products, the demand for good A varies directly with the price of good B. If B gets more expensive, the demand for A increases. If B...

Joel has an income of $96, which he can spend on two (normal) goods: movies and pizzas. Each movie costs $12 and each pizza costs $8. (a) Joel is considering buying bundle A, which is 3 movies and 5 pizzas. At that bundle, his marginal rate of substitution is 3 pizzas for 2 movies. Is the proposed bundle Joel’s optimal consumption bundle? If not, explain whether and why Joel buy more or fewer of each good to increase his utility....
