learn-eu-central-1-prod-fleet01-xythos.content.blackboardcdn.com Imagine there is an outbreak of 'mad sheep' disease, which wipes out a considerable portion of the sheep population in Scotland. This results in a shortage of Haggis and an increase in its price. a) Show the effect of this price increase on Angus' budget line and optimal choice, and explain the forces underpinning this outcome. (Hint: Consider substitution and income effects). b) Assuming that Haggis' price continues to increase over the subsequent months, derive the demand curve for Haggis. c) Discuss the income and substitution effects within the context of this price increase assuming that Haggis is an inferior good. 2 26% 1

A penurious graduate student has a food budget of $100.00/week. To survive with sufficient energy to attend classes, he knows that he needs to consume 50 protein units per week. The only two foods he can stand to eat on a regular basis are beans and hamburger. He derives twice as ich pleasure per protein unit from eating hamburger as he does from beans. a. Assume that hamburger costs $3.00 per protein unit and beans cost $1.00 per protein unit. Formulate the student's diet problem as a linear program. (You can assume he wants to maximize his "total utility" from his diet and that he gets I utile from each protein unit of beans he consumes and 2 utiles from each pro- tein unit of hamburger.) What is the optimal consumption of beans and ham- burger in this case? b. Plot the student's price-response curve for beans as the price of beans goes from $0.01 to $2.00, assuming that everything else (including the price of hamburger) stays constant. Note that his individual price-response…
