True or False
Answer each of the following statements True/False/Uncertain. Give a full explanation of your answer. Include clearly labelled graphs where appropriate. (9 points)
a. A Giffen good is an inferior good for which the substitution effect always dominates the income effect.
b. An individual consumes two goods, x1 and x2. An increase in her income leads to an increase in the consumption of both goods.
c. Any input bundle on an isocost curve yields a higher output than any point below an isocost curve.

Are the following statements True / False / Uncertain? Support your answer with explanation. 1. It is even better for a perfectly competitive firm to produce output even though it is loosing money. 2. If the output elasticity of the total cost is less than one, we have disec- onomies of scale. 3. Inputs are perfect substitutes when one input can always be substitutes for the other on fixed terms and thus corresponding production function is called fixed-proportion production function....

Explain whether the following statement is true, false, or uncertain. A consumer consumes two categories of goods x and y. If an increase in the price of y does not increase the consumer's consumption of x, then this consumer must consider x to be an inferior good.

1. True/False/Uncertain (30 marks) Answer each of the following statements True/False/Uncertain. Give a full explanation of your answer including graphs where appropriate. (When in doubt, always include a fully labeled graph.) A) As a general rule of thumb, the S-D model is appropriate for examining markets with many buyers, but few firms. B) Under standard assumptions, the S-D model shows that equilibrium only occurs on the inelastic portion of the demand curve. C) The principle of non-satiation is a standard...

1) Choose whether this statement is true or false and explain please a. In a two-good world if one good is an inferior good the other good must be a luxury. b. When the price of a good changes, the substitution effect can be found by comparing the equilibrium quantities purchased on the new budget line and a hypothetical budget line that is a shift back to the original indifference curve parallel to the new budget line. c. A Giffen...

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.

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...

Section B. Short Answer Question (2 questions, 20 points each) Question 1 (20 pts) The following data pertain to products A and B, both of which are purchased by Emily. Emily has $105 to spend per time period. Initially, the prices of the products are PA $5, PB $10. And Emily's optimal consumption bundle is O1 {QA = 5, QB- 8}. 1.1) What is Emily's marginal rate of substitution when she consumes the bundle O1, i.e., ΔΑ MUB MRS MUA...

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...

Part A: True/False/Uncertain Questions Indicate whether each of the following statements is true, false or uncertain and explain why. Most of the marks depend on the quality of the explanation - unsupported answers will receive little or no marks. Each question is worth 5 marks for a total of 20 marks. (1) An increase in the tax rate has the same effect on the aggregate expenditure function as a decrease in government spending.
