Over the past decade medical costs have increased more rapidly
than other prices. In order to illustrate how rising medical costs
have affected consumer alternatives, let X represent the quantity
of medical services, and let Y represent the quantity of other
services. Furthermore, let income (M) be measured in hundreds of
dollars, the price of medical services and other services in terms
of dollars per minute, with M = 100, PX = $4, and
PY = $5.
a. Graph the Budget Line based on the information in this
problem.
b. Compute the MRS for this consumer of medical services and other
services.
c. Suppose the PX increases to $10. Graph the new
Budget Line based on this change.
d. Computer the MRS for the new Budget Line based on a
PX = $10.
e. Provide an interpretation of the change in the MRS from the Budget Line in a. and the Budget Line in c. above
