1. Say that there are two goods in the world, books and video games. Say that we observed two of Jim's choices: he chooses bundle A from the budget set bounded by budget line 1, and the bundle B from the budget set bounded by budget line 2. video games B A budget line 2 budget line 1 books a) For each of the two goods, based on the diagram: is the good normal, inferior, or we can't say for sure? Is the good ordinary, Giffen, or we can't say for sure? Explain. b) For which of the two budget lines is the opportunity cost of a book higher and why? What does that statement mean in the context of this model?

Suppose college tuition increased, leaving students with less income to spend on food and other things. Suppose also that the price of kansui increases. Kansui is an input to making instant ramen noodle soup, a staple in the diet of college students. If instant ramen noodle soup is known to be an inferior good, what would we expect to happen in the market? O Equilibrium quantity would increase, but the impact on equilibrium price would be ambiguous. O None of the above is correct. Equilibrium price would decrease, but the impact on equilibrium quantity would be ambiguous. O Equilibrium price would increase, but the impact on equilibrium quantity would be ambiguous.
