A consumer’s budget line shows:
a. combinations of two goods that are equally satisfying to the
consumer
b. combination of two goods that the consumer can buy if she spends
all of her income on them, given unit prices of the goods
c. combination of two goods that a consumer can produce over time
as her income increase, given unit prices of the goods
d. none of the above
Option B is correct
Budget line is basically an equation that indicates all the bundles of two goods that are affordable to consumer with his given resources and the given prices of the two goods. The consumer can purchase any bundle that lies inside the budget set or lie on the budget line. They do not justify the satisfaction because utility is measured along the indifference curve and not on the budget line.

An indifference curve shows combinations of goods O A. that are affordable O B. that have the same relative price O C. which the consumer prefers equally OD. that are inside or on the budget line
A budget line shows the A. total utility a consumer realizes from consuming different quantities of a good. B. quantities of consumption that maximizes marginal utility. C. the prices of the two goods a buyer can purchase. D. quantities of goods a buyer can purchase with given income and prices. E. relationship between price and quantity demanded.
Any point on the budget constraint Multiple Choice Represents combinations of two goods that yield the same utility. Reflects the price of one good divided by the price of another good Represent a combination of two goods that are affordable Gives the consumer the highest level of utility
The alternative combinations of two goods that a consumer can purchase with a specific money income is shown by Select one: O a a production possibilities curve. O b. a demand curve OC. a budget line. Ud. a consumer expenditure lino,
T/F 1. There are two good. You know how much of good 1 a consumer can afford if she spends all of her income on good 1. Also, you know the ratio of the prices of the two goods. Then we can draw the consumer's budget line.
(38pts) Suppose a consumer spends all of her income on only two goods, z and y. Her preferences over these two goods are represented by the utility function u(r,y) min(, 4y). The price of good y is given to be S8. Her income and price of z are represented by m and ps, respectively. (a) (10 pts) Find the demand for good z as a function of m and pa. (b) (5 pts) Is good z ordinary or Giffen good?...

Provide your answer below: _ cup(s) of tea 2) If a family spends its entire budget in a...
curve to the right. True or false? Explain. 4. The budget line shows all possible combinations of two goods that yield the same level of utility to the consumer. True or false? Explain. 5. In ordinal utility, consumer equilibrium occurs at the point where: MRSxy Py/Px. (Assume good Y is on the Y axis and good X is on the X axis.) True or false? Explain. 6. Ordinal Utility (Indifference Curves & Budget Constraint Lines) has been said to have...
A consumer spends all of her income (Y) on two goods Z and B. The price of good B (PB) is $6. The Marginal Rate of Transformation MRT is equal to minus2. That is 2 units of good B can be traded for 1 unit of good Z. This consumer is able to buy 15 units of good Z and 0 units of good B with his/her income. What is this consumer's level of income? The consumer's income is $...
