Consider a world in which only two goods are sold: x and y, and where good x is inferior. A. |Write down the calculus-based cross-price Slutsky equation that describes variation in the quantity demanded of good x with respect to the price of good y, and discuss the sign of each term. If some of them cannot be determined, say so. В. Based on your analysis, are the two goods gross complements or gross substitutes, and why?Are they net complements or net substitutes? Explain. C. ¡What might the income consumption curve for these preferences look like? (You don't have enough information to draw it precisely, but you should be able to draw an approximate graph.) If you need to make any further assumptions, state what they are. Think about what coordinates you need, and label them carefully.

Answer the following short questions:a. Suppose that a consumer’s preferences between goods x andy are represented by the utility function u(x, y) = x^2 + 16xy + 64y^2. If these two goods have the same price, describe the optimal consumptionchoice of this consumer.b. Suppose that when the price of a good change, the incomeand substitution effects change the consumer’s demand for that goodin opposite directions.i. Is this good a normal or an inferior good? Explain.ii. Is this good a Giffen or an ordinary good? Explain.c. Is the following statement true or false? The differencebetween a monopolist’s marginal cost and its profit-maximizing price issmaller when the demand is more elastic.
From the information given in the preceding question (in which Ming views X and Y as perfect complements), we know that O when the price of Y increases, Ming's demand curve for X shifts in. O when the price of Y increases, Ming's demand curve for X shifts out. when the price of X increases, Ming's demand curve for X shifts out. O Ming's demand curve for X is a horizontal line. O Ming's demand curve for X is a vertical line.
1. Given the following information: U = XY; PX = 5; PY = 10; I = 200, a. mathematically show the substitution effect and the income effect (in terms of changes in X and Y) when the price of good Y rises up to 20 (PY=20). b. graphically illustrate your results in a.

Two goods are complements when a decrease in the price of one good O decreases the quantity demanded of the other good. O decreases the demand for the other good. O increases the quantity demanded of the other good. increases the demand for the other good.
Which of the ff. is correct with regards to the demand curve? A. If the price of the good increases, the demand curve for the good will shift to the left B. If the price of the good increases, the consumers have the incentive to look for substitutes, thus, the quantity demanded and its price are inversely related C. Income of the consumers is written on the vertical axis D. Varying preferences of the consumers is reflected in the demand curve and is written on the horizontal axis
Assume that coffee and tea are substitutes. John and Pamela are vendors at MANCOSA campus. John sells tea and Pamela coffee. They usually sell these drinks at R15 per cup, However, it is a cold Monday morning and Pamela decides to decrease the price of coffee to R12 a cup. The resultant effect would be movement along the demand curve for coffee takes place since it is a change in the price of coffee. Select one: O True O False

Explain the Price Effect Curve below in the case when the price of good 1 upon x-axis rises whereas the price of good 2 on y-axis remains unchanged? If we connect the points, we have the price consumption curve. It shows the utility-maximizing points when the price of a good changes. X3 X2 X,
If two goods are substitutes, a decline in the price of one will cause an increase in the demand for the other. A.True B.False
Assume that, a consumer has $1200 to spend on two goods, X and Y. If the price of a pair of good X is $20 per unit and the price of good Y is $15 each, which of the following combinations that the consumer can purchase from good X and Good Y?
