2. A consumer buys only two goods, X and Y, with prices of pxand py and has an income of m. Use diagrams to indicate consumer preferences, including details of the marginal rate of substitution, in the cases where: (a) X is a Sierra Blue iPhone 13 Pro and Y is a Graphite iPhone 13 Pro. Assume that the consumer is indifferent between the two colours. (b) X is a right foot Nike Air Max Vapormax trainer and Y is a left foot Nike Air Max Vapormax trainer. (c) X is an iPad Pro and Y is a Balenciaga jacket. (d) Suppose that the consumer wins a substantial sum of money in the UK's National Lottery, how will this affect her consumption choices in each of the cases above? Illustrate the effects on your diagrams. (e) Suppose that due to supply change shortages, the price of X increases, how will this affect the consumer's choices in each of the cases above? Illustrate the effects on your diagrams.

5) Consider indifference curves for the consumption of milk and chocolates (you may assume that both are 'goods'). The indifference curves are drawn with the number of chocolate bars on the horizontal axis and pints of milk on the vertical axis. Suppose that at every point, consumer A's indifference curve is flatter than consumer B's. What can you conclude about consumers A and B tastes and preferences?
Suppose that a household has a weekly budget of $200 a week for its weekly shopping trip when it spends its weekly budget on toilet paper priced at $0.50 per roll and other goods. a. Draw a large diagram showing the household's weekly budget constraint for rolls of toilet paper and $ of other goods. Label the axes, the intercepts, the budget constraint and give the diagram a title. b. If the toilet paper and other goods are perfect complements and the household is observed to buy 24 rolls of toilet paper per week, draw an indifference curve that indicates this situation. Label the household's demands for toilet paper rolls and other goods and its indifference curve. C. Suppose a quota is introduced limiting purchases of toilet paper to 12 rolls per weekly shop. On the diagram from a. and b., draw the household's budget constraint and the highest indifference curve the household can reach. Label the household's budget constraint, demand for toilet paper rolls and other goods and the…
rosses Suppose a consumers budget set car be written as $200 = $5x + $10y (a) Draw the graph with an indifference curve showing that the consumer is in equilibrium and identify where the budget set cross both.x and Y axis. (b) Now, if there is an increase in the price of good.x, and both x and y are normal goods, graphically show the effect of the increases in P and identify what part of it is due to the substitute effect, and what part is due to the income affect.

3. Suppose Product X is a normal good and its price (Px) decreases. Graphically illustrate its Substitution and Income Effects using individual's budget and indifference curves
4. Suppose that a consumer with the utility function U =X0.25 Y0.75 choses a bundle where X=5 and Y=10. If the prices of the two goods are Px= $1, and Py = $3. Calculate marginal utility per dollar spent on each good. Can this consumer increase utility without increasing expenditure and if so how?
4- An indifference curve connects points on a graph representing different quantities of two goods, points between which a consumer is indifferent. Food Clothing a) Danyal is obsessed with food and clothes. Assume you have no knowledge of the budget line, what point would Danyal prefer to be at. b) Why can't two indifference curves not intersect, explain and illustrate your answer. c) As we move from point c to f, who's marginal rate of substitution declines.
