Chapter 10 Indifference Curve Analysis
Based on questions 10A.4 and 10A.5, p. 370, H & B 7th edition (but updated)
Jake receives an allowance of $10 per week. He spends all of his allowance on ice cream cones and smart water.
- If the
price of ice cream cones is $1. and the price of smart water is $2., draw a graph showing Jake’s budget constraint. - Jake buys 8 ice cream cones and 1 smart water. Draw an indifference curve showing Jake’s choice, assuming he has chosen the optimal combination.
- Suppose the price of ice cream rises to $2. per cone. On this same graph, draw Jake’s new budget line and his new optimal consumption.
- Suppose Jake’s allowance doubles to $20 per week. Show Jake’s new budget line.
- Draw a new indifference curve showing how Jake’s consumption of ice cream and smart water will increase.
(Note: You can put all of these answers on the same graph, clearly indicating each. You can draw this graph either by hand or on the computer, whichever is easiest.)
