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 $...
A basket of goods for a given consumer includes two goods, X and Z. Consumer income is equal to $1,000 and the prices of these two goods are as follows: Px = $20 P2 = $50 This consumer is consuming 10 units of good X. Suppose that over the course of a year, the price of good X changes by - 10% and the price of good Z changes by 10%. How much income would be required for the consumer...
A consumer has an income of $1,000 to spend on food and medicine. The price of one unit of food is $5 and the price of one unit of medicine is $10. For each question, write down the mathematical expression of the budget constraint and draw it carefully. Put food on the x-axis and medicine on the y-axis. Label the incercepts, slopes, and kinks. 1. Suppose the consumer receives coupons for 50 units of food and those can only be...
can you please explain this deeply? thank you
Question 7 Consider a consumer with preferences over two goods 1 and 2. Assume that the horizontal axis pertains to the amount of good 1 and the vertical axis pertains to the amount of good 2. Suppose that, given the consumption bundle r = 10 and y = 10, a consumer's MRS (marginal rate of substitution) is equal (in absolute value) to 4. The price of good 1 is $1, the price...

a. The Smith family has an income of $1,000 per month, and currently spends $400 monthly on food. Assume that the initial price of a unit of food is $1, and the initial price of a unit of “all other goods” is also $1. Draw this budget line, and also an indifference curve – which we assume has the standard shape – that the family can just reach, given its budget. b. The government considers that the Smith family is...
Draw the budget constraint for the following situation. The consumer has income $60. The price of good 2 is constant and is equal to 5. The price of good 1 is also constant and is equal to 6, but for every 4 units of good 1 that you buy, you get a gift certificate for $10 that can only be used to purchase good 2. Label all important points.
The Smith family has $1,000 per month to spend on food and other goods. (The two goods are food and dollars spent on all other goods. If you want, just assume that the prices of food and other goods are both $1.) Graph each budget constraint and write the equation. The units for the budget constraint will be dollars spent on food and dollars spent on all other goods. (Note: Some equations or lines may be defined piecewise/have multiple parts....
2 and 3 please.
A consumer purchases two goods, food (F) and clothing (C). Her utility function is given by U(F,C)= FC +F. The marginal utilities are MU, = C +1 and MUS = F. The price of food is Pc , the price of clothing is Pc, and the consumer's income is I. 1) What is the demand curve for clothing? 2) Is clothing a normal good in this case? Charlie consumes two goods, professional baseball games (B) and...
please show all math work
EXERCISE 3 Consider a consumer who consumes two goods and has utility function u(x1, x2) = x2 + VX1. Income is m, the price of good 2 is 1, and the price of good 1 changes from p to (1+t)p. Compute the compensating variation, the equivalent variation, and the change in consumer's surplus for a change in the price of good 1, holding income and the price of good 2 fixed.
