For the Price-Consumption Line & Demand Curve: (kindly place Good A on the X-axis & Good B on the Y-axis) If the consumer's tastes are given by the Indifference curves schedule and Pa = P1.00, Pb= P1.00 and original budget = P10.00, what happens if budget remains the same but the price of Good A decreases to P0.50 To do: Create the new budget schedule. Plot the 2 budget lines with the 3 indifference curves together and determine the tangency points or LCPC and create the Price-Consumption Line. Create the Demand Curve for Good A.
Assume the consumer is correctly applying the rational spending rule (consumer equilibrium) for goods X and Z and he is at consumer equilibrium. If the price of X falls, then the marginal rate of substitution of X (in absolute value) will _ and the consumption in X will consumer equilibrium holding all other factors unchanged. Group of answer choices -__at the new increase; increase decrease; decrease decrease; increase increase; decrease
Following exercise is requested:(a) Draw a budget line knowing that: nominal income is $100/week, price of lamb meat (Pm) is $2/kilo and price of housing (Ph) is $20/week. It is also known that ALL INCOME is spent on both goods.b) Assume now that monetary income remains CONSTANT, but price of lamb meat DOUBLES to $4/kilo, while the price of housing DECREASES to $10/week. Draw new budget line.
Lucas has $40 per week that he can spend on lemon soda (X) and chips (Y). The price of the lemon soda (PX) is $2 per bottle, and the price of the chips (PY) is $4 price Write down Lucas’s budget constraint. Draw the budget constraint on the graph below. Make sure to indicate the intercepts and the slope of budget constraint. Label it as BC1. Provide an economic interpretation of the slope of the budget constraint BC1 Suppose Lucas’s income decreases to $12 per week, and the price of lemon soda and chips remain the same. Write down Lucas’s new budget constraint. Then draw his new budget constraint on the same graph above. Make sure to indicate the intercepts and the slope. Label it as BC2. Suppose Lucas’s income remains to be $40 per week and the price of chips remains the same, but the price of lemon soda (PX) increases to $5. Write down Lucas’s new budget constraint. Then draw his new budget constraint on the same graph above. Make sure to indicate the intercepts and the…
7) A consumer has to choose the optimal amount of cheese and crackers to purchase. He or she has drawn his or her budget constraint (BC) and indifference curves on a graph with the amount of cheese (in ounces) on the horizontal axis and the amount of crackers (in packages) on the vertical axis. Which of the following statements is true if the price of crackers declines? The BC shifts to the left (down). The BC shifts to the right (up). The BC rotates such that it intersects the horizontal axis at the same point as before and intersects the vertical axis at a lower point. The BC rotates such that it intersects the horizontal axis at the same point as before and intersects the vertical axis at a higher point.
SOLVE QUESTION B ONLY Suppose that you have an income of $20 to spend on sticky hands and gumballs. Both cost $1.00. a. Solve for the budget constraint in y = mx + b form, using gumballs as your x variable. Graph the budget constraint. Draw an indifference curve such that the optimal consumption bundle is 10 gumballs and 10 sticky hands. b. Suppose that the price of sticky hands falls to 50 cents. Draw the new budget constraint, original budget constraint from a.) and original indifference curve from a.) in a new graph. Draw a new optimal in indifference curve such that gumballs and sticky hands are complements and sticky hands are inferior goods.
