Show that the price-consumption curve can be horizontal or downward sloping. Assume that the price of good X on budget line L¹ is p₁. Then the price of good X decreases to p2, pivoting the budget line to L². Using the line drawing tool, draw the price-consumption curve. Label this line 'Price-consumption curve.' Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required object. Y, Good Y X, Good X

Budget line becomes steeper and consumer is not able to afford some bundles that were affordable before. Budget line becomes flatter and consumer is not able to afford some bundles that were affordable before.

A decrease in the price of good Y will have what effect on the budget line on a normal X-Y graph? Select one: OA. Parallel outward shift of the line OB. Parallel inward shift of the line OC. Decrease the horizontal intercept COD. Increase the vertical intercept
Draw a budget line with good X on the x-axis and Good Y on the Y axis. Graphically illustrate the effect of an increase in the price of good X on the utility maximizing quantity of X consumed. Make sure you identify the income effect and the substitution effect. Assume that the good is a normal good. please no shortcut show the whole questions step by step
Suppose the price of an M&M is $2.00, the price of Skittles is $3.00, and the budget is $24. M&Ms are on the x-axis and Skittles are on the y-axis. If the price of an M&M decreases to $1.49, what happens to the Budget Line? Group of answer choices The budget line undergoes a parallel shift outward The budget lines undergoes a parallel shift inward The budget lines rotates outward The budget lines rotates inward
Using the utility-maximization rule as your point of reference, explain the income and substitution effects of an increase in the price of product B, with no change in the price of product A.
Assume that a consumer can buy only two goods, X and Y, and has an income of $13,000. The price of X is $60 and the price of Y is $140. What is the slope of the budget line if X is measured horizontally and Y is measured vertically? Note that you will need to include a negative sign in your answer. If needed, round your answer to the nearest two decimal places.
The shape of a person's indifference curves between two goods depends on A) the marginal rate of substitution B) the prices of the two goods. C) the level of satisfaction for the person. D) the person's income. E) all of the above

Check the correct statement(s).A) Both X and Y are inferior. B) X is an inferior good.C) In the special case where X is Leisure, and Y is "all other goods", X is an inferior good.D) The consumption of Y decreases.E) It is impossible that the consumption of X remains unchanged when the price of × goes up.F) The substitution effect is negative
Solve the following task on paper, sign your solution and upload your result. Maria consumes oranges and bananas. Both are normal goods to her. Which effect does a falling price for oranges have on her demand for both goods? Conduct a graphical indifference analysis and explain in detail. Put oranges on the X-axis of your diagram. Show SE, IE, and TE for both goods.
Suppose the price of a donut is $2.50, the price of a cinnamon roll is $3.20, and the budget is $50. Donuts are on the x-axis and cinnamon rolls are on the y-axis. If the price of a donut increases to $3.30, what happens to the Budget Line? The budget line undergoes a parallel shift outward The budget lines undergoes a parallel shift inward The budget lines rotates outward The budget lines rotates inward

Emma consumes only two goods: Good A and Good B. Emma has a monthly salary of $1,000 from her part-time job. The price of Good A is $10. The price of Good B is $2. Emma currently consumes 5 units of Good A and consumes 25 units of Good B in a month. (a) Draw Emma's budget constraint and optimal consumption bundle. Please put Good A on the x-axis and Good B on the y- axis. (b) Emma has just received a 5% pay increase. The price of Good A and the price of Good B have increased by 5% as well due to inflation. Draw Emma's new budget constraint and optimal consumption bundle. Please put Good A on the x-axis. How many units of Good A does she consume? How many units of Good B does she consume?
