05- Income and Substitution EffectsQuestion 6 Suppose that a there are two goods, X and Y. The price of Good X is $5 and the price of Good Y is $8. The seller of Good Xoffers a deal where if a consumer buys 1 unit of Good X they pay full price, but the second unit of Good X is only $2.Calculate the slope of the budget constraint between 1 unit of Good X and 2 units of Good X.(Remember to include a negative sign. Round to the nearest two decimal places if necessary.)

The slope of the budget constraint between 1 unit of Good X and 2 units of Good X is −0.25…

Answered: Suppose that a there are two goods, X…

2. Income and substitution effects Manuel is an accountant who enjoys apples and pears. Suppose that the price of apples increases. As a result, even though Manuel purchases fewer apples, he actually purchases more pears than he would have before the price change. This phenomenon is known as the effect.
1. For each of the three utility functions below, find the substitution effect, the income effect, and the total effect that result when prices change from p = (2,1) to p' = (2,4). Assume the consumer has income I = 20. (a) Before doing any calculation, make an educated guess about the relative magnitude of the three substitution effects and the three income effects to be found below. (b) u(x1, x2) = x1 + x2. (c) u(x1, x2) = x1x2. (d) u(x1,x2) = min {x1,x2). (e) Rank the substitution effects and the income effects found above by their magnitude. To what extent do they conform to your guess?

1. What is the relationship between working hours and wage levels? (A). An increase in the wage rate increases working hours if the substitution effect dominates the income effect. (B). An increase in the wage rate reduces the hours worked if the dominating effect is a substitution effect. (C). A decrease in the wage rate increases working hours if the substitution effect dominates the income effect. (D). Answers (A) and (B) are correct. (E). Answers (A) and (C) are correct.
NOTE: THIS IS FOR A NON-GRADED QUIZ. Louis has stable preferences and consumes two goods, wine and cheese. In 1994, the price of wine was $4/glass and the price of cheese was $2/ounce. Louis's income was $60 and he bought 12 glasses of wine and 6 ounces of cheese. In 1995, wine costs $2/glass and cheese costs $4/ounce. Louis's income is still $60. a. Draw both years' budget lines. Where do they cross? b. What is Louis's marginal rate of substitution of wine for cheese in 1994? [hint: you can't use calculus]
