Ans:The substitution effect due to the price change is the movement from point A to point B.
Explanation:
Price effect = Income effect + Substitution effect
In the above figure;
Price effect = Movement from point A to point C.
Income effect = Movement from point B to point C.
Substitution effect = Movement from point A to point B

Good Y Good X The diagram above shows a budget constraint on Good X and Good Y. Point A is the original optimal bundle. Suppose Good X is an inferior good and the price of Good Y increases, draw the new budget constraint. Would the income effect increase or decrease the consumption on Good Y? Would the substitution effect increase or decrease the consumption on Good Y? If the substitution effect is larger than the income effect, indicate the new...

A consumer has the utility function U(X, Y) = (X + 2)(Y + 4). Her income is $100, the price of X is $4, and the price of Y is $5. In order to maximize utility subject to her budget constraint, how many units of X and Y will our consumer choose to purchase? Sketch a budget line – indifference curve diagram illustrating this optimum. Label this optimum A. Suppose the price of X increases to $8, while income and the price...

Consumer's surplus: A consumer has the utility function U(x,y) =e^((ln(X)+Y)^1/3) where X is the good in concern and Y is the money that can be spent on all other goods. (So the price of Y is normalized to be 1). The income of this consumer is 100. (a) (10pts) Derive the demand function of x for this consumer. Make sure that at every price of x, the consumer always has enough income to buy the amount of x as indicated...

A consumer has a demand function for good 2, ?2, that depends on the price of good 1, ?1, the price of good 2, ?2, and income, ?, given by ?2 = 2 + 240 + 2?1. Initially, assume ? = ??2 40, ?2 = 1, and ?1 = 2. Then the price of good 2 increases to ?2′ = 3. a) What is the total change in demand for good 2? [2 marks] b) Calculate the amount of good...

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.

"A
rational consumer prefers more of good x to less. If the price of
good x rises and the prices of all other goods remain constant,
then the consumer must necessarily demand less of x”. Is it true or
false?
The
answer states it false. But why can't it be true?
