Owen saw that the price of peaches had gone down, and so he decided to buy more peaches. Based on this information only, what does Owen's reaction reflect? Choose 1 answer: A Owen's demand for peaches has increased. B Owen's quantity demanded for peaches has increased. Owen has experienced an increase in income. Owen observed that there has been an increase in the price of other fruit, a substitute for peaches. Owen expects future price changes.

urgent part 1 2 3 David’s utility function for good X and Y is given by U (x, y) = x2 y3 . Where Px, Py and I are the price of good X, price of good Y and consumer income respectively. i. Write the budget equation of the consumer and draw the line of this equation. ii. Using the budget line drawn in (i) show the effect of a 100 percent increase in the price of good X hold the price of good Y and income constant. iii. Using the budget line drawn in (i) show the effect of a 100 percent increase in his income holding the price of both goods constant. iv. What combination of X and Y maximizes the consumer’s utility at I=100, Px = 4 and Py = 5. v. Calculate the marginal rate of substitution between X and Y at equilibrium and interpret your results vi. Suppose all prices double and income is held constant, what is the effect of this on the optimal combination of X and Y? vii. What happens to the optimal combination of X and Y if price of good X decreases to 2 whiles the price of good Y and…
Questions 5 (Demand). The following graph displays Adam's consumption point at a certain level of income. Suppose that x1 is a normal good, x2 is an inferior good, and Adam's income increases. Show this change on the following graph by drawing a new budget constraint and indifference curve. Explain why.

Bob consumes food and housing. Suppose his marginal utility from an additional unit of food is 20 and his marginal utility from an additional unit of housing is 180. Furthermore, suppose the price of a unit of food is $1.00 and the price of a unit of housing is $2.00. Can Bob increase his utility without changing his total expenditures on food and housing? Holding expenditures constant, A. Bob can increase utility by spending more on food and less on housing. B. Bob can increase utility by spending more on food and the same amount on housing. C. Bob can increase utility by spending less on food and more on housing. D. Bob cannot increase his utility. E. Bob can increase utility by spending more on food and more on housing.

Question 5 Andrew is currently spending all his income on 2 goods, burgers and Pepsi. He buys burgers at 4 L.E. a unit, with a total utility of 1000 and a marginal utility of 24. He buys Pepsi at 1 L.E a unit with a total utility of 800 and a marginal utility of 18. In order of reach consumer equilibrium, he should consume: The same amount of burgers and Pepsi. More Pepsi but the same amount of burgers. More Pepsi and less burgers. More burgers but the same amount of Pepsi. More burgers and less Pepsi.
