Assume you have two goods and a b> 0 income. How does the imposition of a lump-sum tax T, which is imposed on everyone regardless of income or market behavior, affect the budget constraint? a. At (0, b/P2), the budget constraint rotates outwards. b. At (0, b/P2), the budget constraint rotates inward. c. In parallel, the budget constraint shifts inwards. d. In parallel, the budget constraint shifts outwards.

Budget constraint equation: 10X + 20Y = 200 Assume the government imposes a tax of PhP 2 for every unit of good 1 and graph the budget set.
a. Create a graph with X on the horizontal axis and Y on the vertical axis. The equation of the budget constraint is: 5X + 10Y = 500 We can rearrange this to solve for Y: Y = (500 - 5X)/10 b. Plot a graph with the point (50, 25), where they spend half their income on each good. c. If the household income doubles to Rs. 1,000, the new budget constraint would be: 5X + 10Y = 1000 Rearranging for Y: Y = (1000 - 5X)/10 d. If after the change the household spends Rs. 200 on Y and Rs. 800 on X, we can plug these values into the budget constraint to solve for X and Y: 5X + 10Y = 1000 5(800) + 10(200) = 1000 This equation is not satisfied, so we can conclude that the household cannot spend Rs. 800 on X and Rs. 200 on Y with the new budget constraint.

The following diagram shows two of Megan's indifference curves for going to ballgames and symphonies. With Megan's initial budget constraint (BC), she chose to go to five symphonies and three baseball games per month (point X). Then her budget constraint shifted to BC, and she chose to go to four symphonies and six ballgames per month (point Y), SEOTING 2 4 SYMPHONIES BC

Assume we are measuring coffee on the horizontal axis and flowers on the vertical axis. The government introduces a tax on coffee consumed beyond C* units. What will happen to the budget constraint? O The budget constraint will become kinked at C* units of coffee and will have a flatter slope at units beyond C*. O The budget constraint will pivot inwards around the horizontal intercept. O The budget constraint will pivot outwards around the vertical intercept. O The budget constraint will shift outwards and become steeper. O The budget constraint will become kinked at C* units of coffee and will have a steeper slope at units beyond C*. O No answer.
Suppose you are given the following information for a particular individualconsuming two goods, a and b: Pa = $5, Pb = $6, MUa = 100, MUb = 200, and income (m) = $200.a) Sketch the budget set. What is the slope of the Budget Line? What are maximal possibleconsumptions of a and b?b) What is the MRSab for the two goods?c) Is this person maximizing her utility? How can you tell?d) Should she consume more of good a or of b? Explain.e) Why can’t you tell what her optimal bundle is? Explain.

In the below figure, a consumer is initially in equilibrium at point C. The consumer's income is $750, and the budget line through point C is given by $750 = $150X + $375Y. When the consumer is given a $ 300 gift certificate that is good only at store X, she moves to a new equilibrium at point D. a. Determine the prices of goods X and Y. Price of X: $ 150 Price of Y: $ 375 b. How many units of product Y could be purchased at point A? rmal or an inferior good? Product Y c Product X F
Assuming the two good case. When a person is attempting to maximize utility and income increases, then: a. The budget constraint expands, shifting the budget line outward indicating more choices are now affordable and a higher utility level is now possible. b. The budget constraint contracts, shifting the budget line outward indicating more choices are now affordable and a higher utility level is now possible. c. The budget constraint expands, shifting the budget line inward indicating more choices are now affordable and a lower utility level is now possible. d. The budget constraint contracts, shifting the budget line outward indicating more choices are now affordable and a lower utility level is now possible.
