The only goods you buy are eggs and wine. On Tuesday your income rises. On Wednesday the price of wine (not eggs!) rises. On Wednesday you are just able to afford Monday’s basket.
a. Illustrate your Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday budget points and optima. Label the optima M, T, and W.

The only goods you consume are eggs and wine. On Monday, you consume basket M. On Tuesday, the price of eggs goes down and you consume basket T. On Wednesday, the price of eggs returns to its Monday level and the price of wine goes down. On Wednesday, you consume basket W and you are exactly as happy as you were on Tuesday. You choose to consume more eggs on Wednesday than on Monday. Draw in a diagram (measuring quantity...
CHAPTER 4 Suppose the only goods you buy are wine and roses. a. Between Monday and Tuesday, the price of wine goes up (while your 7. income remains fixed). Draw a diagram, with wine on the horizontal axis and roses on the vertical, to illustrate how your budget line moves. Illustrate your optimum points on the two budget lines, labeling Monday's optimum M and Tuesday's optimum T b. On Wednesday, the price of wine returns to its Monday level, but...
Your budget line for goods A
and B is represented below. Which of the following statements is or
could be TRUE?
(a) If income is $45, the price of Good A must always be $5.
(b) The price of Good A increases after the consumer buys 2
units.
(c) When you have 5 units of Good A, you are able to buy an

Consider a pure exchange economy with two goods, wine (x) and cheese (y) and two con- sumers, A and B. Let cheese be the numeraire good with price of $1. Consumer A's utility function is UA(x; y) = 2x+y and B's utility function is UB(x; y) = xy. A's initial allocation is 10 units of x and 0 units of y. B's initial allocation is 0 units of x and 30 units of y. (a) Put wine x on the...

Quick intuition check via True or False Questions 1. 2. If all prices double and income triples, then the budget line will become steeper There are two goods. You know how much of good 1 a consumer can afford if she spends all of her income on good 1. If you knew the ratio of the prices of the two goods, then you could draw the consumer's budget line without any more information. lf good l is on the horizontal...
* Note: The most relevant sections of the textbook are 3.1 and 3.2 but the material builds on earlier content 1) Suppose that Nadeem has the same utility function as Lisa did in assignment 1 of U(x,y) - x""ybut the two goods are chickpea curry units/wk (represented by x) and rice units/wk (represented by y). As before, his marginal utility functions for x and y are respectively: MU_(x,y)==0)** [2] and MU,(x, y) =*)*** [2] In assignment 1, the marginal rate...
1. TRUE/FALSE( 1 mark per question, 20 marks in total) [1) An economy's income is the same as its expenditure because every transaction has a buyer and a seller. 2) GDP is the market value of all final goods and services produced by a country's citizens in a given period of time. [3) If nominal GDP is $10,000 and real GDP is $8,000, then the GDP deflator is 125. 14) Other things equal, in countries with higher levels of real...
True or False: You need to explain briefly your answers. (a) (10pts) In the CAPM model, if a stock lies strictly below the budget line (recall that we label the standard deviation of a stock’s return on the x-axis and the mean of that on the y-axis), then it is for sure that no one will want to hold this stock in his optimal choice since there is always an alternative with less risk or greater expected return. (b) (10pts)If...
