2. Use a budget line and indifference curve to answer the following question. There are two goods X and Y. Label your diagram fully and explain. a. Show an initial equilibrium consumption choice of good X and good Y. b. The price of good X rises. Show the income effect, substitution effect, and the total effect which result from an increase in the price of good X. Assume that both X and Y are normal goods.

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...
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
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...
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...
2. Identifying normal, inferior, and Giffen goods The green line BC, on the following graph represents your initial budget constraint for good X and good Y, and point A represents the optimal consumption choice, given this choice set. Suppose the price of good X dropped by 50%. The compensated budget is parallel to BC2, representing the same tradeoff between good X and good Y, and it is tangent to the given indifference curve (U) at point B. On the following...
The graph shows Tom’s budget line and indifference curve for good x and y. The price of good x is $40 . If he uses all of his income on good Y , then 20 units of y will be consumed. If all income is spent on good x then 4 units will be consumed. What is the marginal rate of substitution of good y for x at the point where the indifference curve is tangent to the budget line?
Question 5 [8] 5.1. With reference to the indifference theory with good Y on the vertical axis and good X on the horizontal axis, graphically illustrate a change in consumer equilibrium due to a change in income. Remember to label the diagram correctly and to indicate the "income consumption curve clearly. 5.2. Referring to the graph above and consumer equilibrium, indicate what will happen to the budget line should there be an increase in the price of good X (on...
Identify the point of consumer equilibrium and label it X. Mark the original consumption levels for both goods. (Circle one) Which good is higher in price, a) wool or b) lamb chops? Explain briefly. I. Wool 2. 3. Say the consumer's income rises by 20%. Draw the resulting new budget line and label it B'B'. Draw a new indifference curve, labeled IC2, such that it includes the new consumer equilibrium, and label that point Y. 4. Show the effect of...
In the following diagram, we show one of Jane's indifference curves and her budget line a. If the price of good X is $100, what is her income? b. What is the equation for her budget line? c. What is the slope of her budget line? d. What is the price of good Y? e. What is Jane's marginal rate of substitution in cquilibrium? 8. Good X 40 80 0 Good Y

7. Consider the figure below, which shows the budget constraint and the indifference curves of good King Zog. Zog is in equilibrium with an income of s300, facing prices px 4 and py sio 30 22.5 0 35 43 75 90 a. How much X does Zog consume? b. If the price of X falls to s2.50, while income and the price of Y stay constant, how much X will Zog consume? c. How much income must be taken away...
