Alex distributes his monthly income of $600 between two goods, movies and food. By spending his entire income on movies, he can enjoy a maximum of 20 movies. On the other hand, by spending his entire income on food he can consume a total of 60 units of food. Assume that food consumption is measured along the horizontal axis and the consumption of movies is measured on the vertical axis. Calculate the slope of Alex's budget line when the price of food increases to $20 while the price of movie remains unchanged. -2/3 - 1.5 -2 -3/4
Julie buys food and other goods. She has an income of $400 per month. The price of food is initially $1.00 per unit. It then rises to $1.20 per unit. The prices of other goods do not change. To help Julie out, her mother offers to send her a check each month to supplement her income. Julie tells her mother, “Thanks, Mom. If you would send me a check for $50 per month, I would be exactly as happy paying $1.20 per unit as I would have been paying $1.00 per unit and not receiving the $50 from you.” Which of the following statements is true? Explain. The increased price of food has:a) an income effect of +$50 per monthb) an income effect of -$50 per month c) a compensating variation of +$50 per monthd) a compensating variation of -$50 per monthe) an equivalent variation of +$50 per monthf ) an equivalent variation of -$50 per month
