Consider the following situations. In the table, (px. Py, M) describes the prices and income and (x, y) describes the chosen bundle under those prices and income. Situation Prices and Income Chosen bundle A = (1,2) B=(1,0.5) C = (1,1) 1 2 3 (2,4,10) (1,8,5) (4,2,6) Which bundles amongst the 3 chosen ones is A directly revealed preferred to? Which bundles amongst the 3 chosen ones is B directly revealed preferred to? Which bundles amongst the 3 chosen ones is C directly revealed preferred to? Do these choices satisfy the weak axiom of revealed preference? The solution of questions (a) (b) (c) are given as follows,please just solve for question (d)!! (Thanks very much)

Chosen bundle
A = (1,2)
B = (1,0.5)
C = (1,1)
Which bundles amongst the 3 chosen ones is A directly revealed preferred to?
Which bundles amongst the 3 chosen ones is B directly revealed preferred to?
Which bundles amongst the 3 chosen ones is C directly revealed preferred to?
Do these choices satisfy the weak axiom of revealed preference?
The solution of questions (a) (b) (c) are given as follows,please just solve
for question (d)!! (Thanks very much)
Part A
Consumer purchased bundle A (1,2) with the budget of (2,4,10) => Total spending = 1*2 +2*4=10
Lets check whether with the same budget, bundle B & C are affordable or not
Bundle B (1,0.5) => Total spending = 1*2 +0.5*4=2+2=4
Bundle C (1,1) => Total spending = 2*1 +4*1=2+4= 6
Hence when consumer purchased the bundle A then within the same budget bundle B & C were
affordable => A is directly revealed preferred to B & C
Part B
Consumer purchased bundle B (1,0.5) with the budget of (1,8,5) => Total spending=1*1 +8*0.5=5
Lets check whether with the same budget, bundle A & C are affordable or not
Bundle A (1,2)=> Total spending = 1*1 +8*2= 1+16=17
Bundle C (1,1) => Total spending = 1*1 +8*1=1+8=9
Hence when consumer purchased the bundle B then within the same budget bundle A & C were
unaffordable => B is not directly revealed preferred to A & C
Part C
Consumer purchased bundle C (1,1) with the budget of (4,2,6)=> Total spending=4*1 +2*1=6
Lets check whether with the same budget, bundle A & C are affordable or not
Bundle A (1,2)=> Total spending=4*1 +2*2=4+4=8
Bundle B (1,0.5) => Total spending = 4*1 + 2*0.5=4+1=5
Hence when consumer purchased the bundle C then within the same budget bundle A was
unaffordable whereas B was affordable => C is revealed preferred to B
