From the graph, one can conclude that A) the income elasticity of demand for soda is 1. B) Bobby's demand for soda is perfectly inelastic. C) Bobby views soda as a normal good. D) Bobby views soda as an inferior good.

What is “Compensating Variation”? What is “Consumer’s Surplus”? What is “Equivalent Variation”? What are they trying to measure?
1. Assume that a consumer has a utility function of the following form: u= X, +-X2 where x, = quantity of $5 bill and x, = quantity of $1 bills. Note that $5 bills and $1 bills are perfect substitutes. Solve for this consumer's indifference curve (IC) at u = 10 and u = 20. Plot at least two %3D points on each curve. Be sure to include the function that solves for each IC. 3pt What is the marginal rate of substitution of $1 bills for $5 bills (MRS,→x,) for each curve? Does it diminish with increases in x,? 3pt %25 bills X2 Explain wvhy or why not.
QUESTION THREE 3.1 3.2 3.3 Distinguish between a movement along the demand curve and a shift of the demand curve. Use a single diagram to motivate your answer. List and discuss with the aid of diagrams, any three (3) categories of price elasticity of demand. Provide the consumer equilibrium condition according to utility theory.
1) Consider an indifference map which consists of vertical lines. What can you say about the consumer's preferences for these two goods? 2) How will the indifference map of this consumer change if the two goods are interchanged on the two axes? (That is, good earlier on the x-axis is moved to y-axis and good earlier on the y-axis is moved to x-axis.)
05- Income and Substitution Effects Question 2
The income effect of an increase in the price of a normal good that a consumer buys on a regular basis will be ___________ and the substitution effect will be _________.a) positive; negativeb) negative; negativec) negative; positived) positive; positivee) One cannot tell.
Questions 5 (Demand). The following graph displays Adam's consumption point at a certain level of income. Suppose that x1 is a normal good, x2 is an inferior good, and Adam's income increases. Show this change on the following graph by drawing a new budget constraint and indifference curve. Explain why.
Please Explain
1) Max chooses to purchase movie tickets and restaurant meals every week with his $100. If the price of a movie ticket is $20 and the price of a restaurant meal is $25, then the slope of his budget constraint will be, a) 1/5 b) -1/5 c) 4/5 d) -4/5 2) Marginal rate of substitution(MRS) is the rate at which consumer is willing to trade one good for another. It must be true that: a) MRS is the slope of an indifference curve in reference to a particular bundle of goods. b) MRS is not the same along an indifference curve that is of usual shape. c) MRS is same along an indifference curve that is of usual shape. d) Both a) and b).
Question #3 Please explain what are the substitution and income effects (a detailed response is expected). Mark consumes two goods apples and oranges. If the price of orange increases from $2 to $4 and orange is an inferior good, please illustrate graphically the income and substitution effects. Please label your diagram carefully and provide explanation. Qd = 3300 – 2P and Qs = 500 + 8p Solve for: Price, Quantity and Market equilibria
q 7,8,9, please thank you multichoice
Kerem perceives canned tuna (Y) as an inferior good and fresh tuna (X) as anormal good. If his income increases by 100%, and his income elasticity of both types of tuna is 1. Show the effect of this increase in income on the change in his optimal choice of canned and fresh tuna, highlighting his income-consumption curve.Clearly label your graph. Reflect the proportional changes in your graph.
