Answer the questions. Please draw graphs, instructions on word for how to draw the graph is not enough. Let X1 on the horizontal axis and X2 on the vertical axis. (a) Suppose two ordinary goods X1 and X2 are substitutes in consumption. Using BLs and ICs, graphically derive the demand curve for X1. Explain your graph.(b) If X2 is a Giffen good, how to derive the demand curve for X2?(c) Is the inferior good the same as the Giffen good? Why or why not?
The price of food increased during the past year. • Discuss why the law of demand applies to food as it does to other goods and services. • Discuss how the substitution effect influences food purchases when the price of food rises and other things remain the same. • Discuss how the income effect influences food purchases and provide some examples of the income effect.

Directions: Analyze and compute problems. Write your answer on the answer sheet provided. 1. An individual consumer's monthly demand for downloadable e-books is given by the equation Qdeb 20.4peb +0.00051 +0.15Phb where Queb equals the number of e-books demanded each month, Peb equals the price of e-books, I equals the household monthly income, and Phb equals the price of hardbound books, per unit. Notice that the sign on the price of hardbound books is positive, indicating that when hardbound books increase in price, more e-books are purchased; thus, according to this equation, the two types of books are substitutes. Assume that the price of e-books is €10.68, household income is €2,300, and the price of hardbound books is €21.40. I Determine the number of e-books demanded by this household each month. 2 Given the values for I and Phb, determine the inverse demand function. 3 Determine the slope of the demand curve for e-books. 4 Calculate the vertical intercept (price-axis intercept)…
