1. Give the main reason why two indifference curves can never intersect!
2. Why does a higher indifference curve (further right) represents a higher level of utility?
3. Describe a scenario of your own choice where the substitution effect of a price increase will have the same sign (positive or negative) than the income effect!
4. For a price decrease related to a Giffen goods, describe the signs of both the substitution effect as well as the income effect.

Jane commutes to work. She can either use public transport or her own car. Her indifference curves obey the four properties of indifference curves for ordinary goods 1. Draw Jane's budget line (BL,) with car travel on the vertical axis and public transport on the horizontal axis 2. Suppose that Jane consumes some of both goods. Explain how her optimal consumption bundle can be obtained. Then, draw an indifference curve that helps you illustrate that optimal consumption bundle represented by...

5. Draw out examples of each of the following indifference curves: imperfect substitutes, perfect substitutes, and perfect complements. 6. Jody enjoys having exactly 1 teaspoon of sugar with every cup of coffee she has. What does this say about her indifference curves between the two goods? What happens to her utility level when she is given 5 teaspoons of sugar with one coffee? (Just an explanation) 7. Jay’s Utility function is given by U(x,z) = 3x10.2 x20.8 and P1=$2 and...

Question 2: in the figure below you can find two budget constraints and two indifference curves for Dan. Initially, Dan's hourly wage is $10, and he chooses bundle A on IC1, and enjoys 13 hours of leisure. When the wage increases to $12, he prefers bundle B on IC2, and enjoys 11 hours of leisure In a manner similar to Figure 2.7 on page 27 of the textbook, draw the income effect and substitution effect for leisure when the wage...

1. Sketch indifference curves for each of the following consumers for a day’s worth of coffee and food, and describe why the indifference curves take the shape they do. Draw the indifference curves as how they would look if the drank a range of 0 to 4 cups. a. Ron treats coffee and food as ordinary goods, but is neutral to coffee beyond 3 cups. b. For Gareth, food is always an ordinary good where more is better; however, coffee...

Imagine a representative consumer, whose utility for apples (X) and all other goods (Y) can be represented in a Cobb-Douglas form. 1. Please graphically represent consumer indifference curves, given prices Px and Py and the budget constraint M. 2. What will happen to consumer utility and optimal bundle if consumer income (budget) increases and apples are a necessity good? Please show graphically and explain the intuition. 3. What will happen to consumer utility and optimal bundle if apple price decreases...

Suppose an individual’s utility function for two goods X and Y is givenby U(X,Y) = X^(3/4)Y^(1/4) Denote the price of good X by Px, price of good Y by Py and the income of the consumer by I. a) (2 points) Write down the budget constraint for the individual. b) (4 points) Derive the marginal utilities of X and Y. c) (3 points) Derive the expression for the marginal rate of substitution of X for Y. Write down the tangency...

1. Which of the following claims is true at each point along a price-consumption curve? A) Utility is maximized but income is not all spent. B) All income is spent, but utility is not maximized. C) Utility is maximized, and all income is spent. D) The level of utility is constant. 2. Consider a graph on which one good Y is on the vertical axis and the only other good X is on the horizontal axis. On this graph the income-consumption curve...

Question 1: Louis the retired Canadian lives on a fixed budget and consumes only two goods: toques (T) and maple syrup (M). Suppose Louis monthly budget is 100 and the price of the two goods are (PT,PM) (4,2). (a) Make a properly labeled diagram illustrating Louis'budget constraint with T on the hori- zontal axis and M on the vertical axis. Indicate the area corresponding to the set of bundles (M, T) that Louis can afford. (b) What is the maximum...
