8 Joe buys two goods, beer and wine, which are substitutes. Also, assume that beer is an inferior good. a. Draw an indifference curve-budget line diagram showing the substitution and income effects of an increase in the price of wine. b. How do you know from your graph that beer and wine are substitutes and that beer is inferior?

Assume X and Y are economic goods. Plot X on the x axis and Y on the y axis using graph paper. Assume income is $50 and the price of X is $2.50 and the price of Y is $5.00. Draw the original budget line and show a utility maximizing interior equilibrium using an indifference curve. a. Draw a new budget line if the price of X falls to $2.00. Show using indifference curves the substitution and income effects if...
Draw a budget line /indifference curve diagram for two goods: water and electricity. Show the income and substitution effects of the increase in the price of electricity. Assume that electricity is a normal good. 3 4 8 5 6 7
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...
1. Suppose Oreos and Hydrox are perfect substitutes, one for one (Hydrox were chocolate cookies with vanilla filling that stood up better in milk than Oreos.). If Oreos currently sell for 50 cents and Hydrox sell for 75 cents, use both graphs and words to explain income and substitution effects that occur when the price of Oreos to rise to $1. (Hint: pay attention to the shape of the indifference curve for perfect substitutes.) 2. Suppose Voodoo Donuts and Stumptown...
Sarah buy two goods, orange juice and apple juice, which she considers substitutes. Assume Sarah considers both goods normal. Draw a utility-maximization model showing the substitution and income effects of a decrease in the price of orange juice.
4. In a two-good world, suppose a consumer views the goods as perfect substitutes. Draw a graph of the consumer's choice problem, with a budget constraint and a few indifference curves. (Assume the slope of the indifference curves is different from the slope of the budget constraint.) What is notable about the consumer's preferred bundle?

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...
4. Assume your budget is $30 and the price of goods A and B are $5/unit for A and $3/ unit for B. a On the following graph, graph your budget constraint and mark the optimal consumption point. Mark this original budget constraint. Assume your budget increases to $45, correctly mark and draw your new budget constraint. c. Assume your budgct decreases to $15, correctly mark and draw your new budget d. Correctly draw in your income expansion path e....
1) A) Use a budget line and Indifference curve to show an initial optimal consumption bundle of onions and peppers. Assume onions are normal goods and peppers are inferior goods. Next suppose the price of peppers increases. Graphically Illustrate and explain the income and substitution effects. B) Using the two prices and two quantities of peppers from the previous part of this problem, construct a demand curve. Explain where your numbers are coming from. Also show the income and substitution...
Question 2 A consumer purchases two goods, food (x) and clothing (y). He has the utility function U(X,Y) = XY, where X and Y denote amounts of X and Y consumed. Marginal utilities of X and Y are MUx = y and MUy = x. The consumer’s income is $72 per week and that the price of y is Py = $1 per unit and price of x is Px1 = $9 per unit. What are his initial quantities of X and...
