Consider the following table which shows a consumer's amount of expenditure on 3 different bundles, A, B and C and at 3 different price ratios, X, Y and Z. Assume that bundle A is purchased at prices X; bundle B is purchased at prices Y; bundle C is purchased at prices Z. Row 1 Row 2 Row 3 Prices Prices X (1,1) Prices Y (1, 2) Prizes Z (2,1) Column 1 Bundle A 6 9 9 Column 2 Bundle B 4 7 Column 3 Bundle 5 8 7 Given the consumer's choices, we can use the table to determine whether this consumer's preferences are rational by adding an asterisk (*) to those bundles which are less preferred to the purchased bundle. We can then determine if their preferences violate the weak axiom of revealed preference. Into which row/column combination would you need to add an asterisk (*) to indicate he preference relation?
