6- Option B
Increase spending on Y
3- Option C
Increase spending in Y
In this case the utility derived from the substitute remains constant.

Suppose that goods X and Y are substitutes and the price of good Y falls. We would then expect the quantity of good Y demanded to increase and the demand for good X to increase also. an increase in the demand for good X and a decrease in the quantity of good Y demanded. an increase in the demand for both good X and good Y. an increase in the quantity demanded of good Y and a decrease in the...
15. How does the price elasticity of demand change as you move down along a straight line demand curve? a. it becomes larger in magnitude. b. it becomes smaller in magnitude. c. it doesn't change in magnitude. d. vou can't tell without more information. 16. Quasi-concavity of utility functions insures that with only two goods, these goods must be a. gross substitutes. b. gross complements. c. net substitutes d. net complements. 17. If goods x and y are substitutes, then...
Question 1 (1 point) If two goods, X and Y, have a negative cross elasticity of demand, then we know that they are substitutes are both normal goods. are both inferior goods. each have a price elasticity greater than one. are complements.

Before the imposition of the tax, equilibrium price and quantity...
We are given a system of two equations in the three unknowns x, y, and z. We transform an equation of the form ax + by + cz = d into the row [a, b, c, d]. We row reduce and find the matrix, Write down what the solutions are to this system given this information or explain why there is no solution. 1304 [0017] 0000
Consider an economy in which taxes, planned investment, government spending on goods and services, and net exports are autonomous, but consumption and planned investment change as the interest rate changes. You are given the following information concerning autonomous consumption, the marginal propensity to consume, planned investment, government purchases of goods and services, and net exports: Ca = 1,500 – 10r; c = 0.6; Ta = 1,800; Ip = 2,400 – 50r; G = 2,000; NX = -200 (a)Derive Ep and...
Sally consumes two goods, X and Y. Her preferences over consumption bundles are repre- sented by the utility function r, y)- .5,2 where denotes the quantity of good X and y denotes the quantity of good Y. The current market price for X is px 10 while the market price for Y is Pr = $5. Sally's current income is $500. (a) Write the expression for Sally's budget constraint. (1 point) (b) Find the optimal consumption bundle that Sally will...
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 country has only two inputs K and L and produces two goods X
& Y. The country has 20 units of L and 10 units of K. Industry
X is endowed with 15 units of L and 2 units of K and industry Y has
the rest of L and K. This is an inefficient allocation. Put firm
X’s origin on the left. Graph this endowment point as point
1, labeling the levels of L and K with L...
We have two goods A and B and the government plans to collect X by imposing tax rate t on these two goods. The marginal costs of both goods are 10. The demand curves of two goods are pA = 20 - QA pB = 50 - 2QB (a) Given tax rate tA and tB, calculate the tax revenues of two goods. (b) Given tax rate tA and tB, calculate the excess burdens of tax of two goods. (c) Calculate...
