Suppose that there are only two goods (x and y) and good y is an inferior good. The demand curve for good x cannot be vertical. True or false. Explain your answer graphically and intuitively.
Homework Answers
Good X is normal good whose demand falls when price of its rises or income falls.
Good Y is inferior good whose demand falls when income rises.
The demand curve of good X cannot be vertical is false as when price increases, real income level falls causing consumer to consume less of the goods but quantity demanded is same. As there is always a positive relationship between level of income and consumption of a normal goods.

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).

2. Suppose there are only two goods, good X and a composite good. A rational consumer with a weekly income of $100 consumes 5 units of good X when the price of good X is $10 per unit. When the price of good X decreases to $5 per unit, she consumes more of good X; but her expenditure on good X decreases. True or False: If follows that her price-consumption curve must...

Suppose Norah consumes only two goods, x and y. Which of the following statements MUST be true? (Note, consider each statement independently) 1. If the price of x increases keeping income and price of y fixed, she will consume more of x if x is inferior good. II. If the price of x increases keeping income and price of y fixed, she will consume more of y if y is an inferior good. III. If the price of y increases...

A consumer buys two goods, good X and a composite good Y. The utility function is given as U(X, Y) = 2X1/2+Y. The demand function for good X is X = (Py/Px)2. (Edit: The price of X is Px, the price of Y is Py.) Suppose that initially Px=$0.5 and then it falls and becomes Px=$0.2 Calculate the substitution effect, income effect, and the price effect and show the answer graphically.

Suppose that a there are two goods, X and Y. The price of Good X is $5 and the price of Good Y is $8. The seller of Good X offers a deal where if a consumer buys 1 unit of Good X they pay full price, but the second unit of Good X is only $2. Calculate the slope of the budget constraint between 1 unit of Good X and 2 units of Good X. (Remember to include a...
