Refer to the budget line shown in the diagram above. At point U, __________. Question 3 options: P1/P2 = MU1/MU2 pizza is an inferior product P2/P1 = MU2/MU1 roses are an inferior product The image depicts a budget constraint graph, commonly used in economics to illustrate consumer choice between two goods—in this case, "Roses" and "Pizza."**Axes:**- The vertical axis represents the quantity of "Roses."- The horizontal axis represents the quantity of "Pizza."**Points:**- Point A: Located on the y-axis, represents a scenario where all income is spent on roses. This point is labeled with "I/Pr," representing income divided by the price of roses.- Point B: Situated on the x-axis, indicates that all income is spent on pizza, labeled as "I/Pp," representing income divided by the price of pizza.- Point U: A point on the line connecting A and B, illustrating a combination of both roses and pizza within the budget. **Line:**- A purple line connects points A and B, representing the budget line, which shows all possible combinations of roses and pizza that can be bought with a given income. **Red Dashed Lines:**- R* (100): Represents the maximum quantity of roses purchasable with the given income.- P* (50): Represents the maximum quantity of pizza purchasable with the given income.This graph is a typical demonstration of a consumer’s budget constraint, highlighting trade-offs between two different goods and the concept of opportunity cost.

sketch a person’s indifference map and budget line for two goods, X on the horizontal axis and Y on the vertical axis. Mark the optimum consumption point. Now illustrate the following (you might need to draw a separate diagram for each): (a) A rise in the price of good X (a normal good), but no change in the price of good Y. (b) A shift in the person’s tastes from good Y to good X. (c) A fall in the person’s income and a fall in the price of good Y, with the result that the consumption of Y remains constant (but that of X falls).
16.Suppose the market for a good is composed of 1,000 identical consumers. The market's demand curve is given by QM = 150,000 – 25P. What is the equation for an individual consumer's demand curve? A) Q = 150,000,000 – 25,000P B) Q = 6,000,000 – 40P C) Q = 6- 4P D) Q = 150 –0.025 17.There are 100 consumers in the market for good X. each with a demand curve given
