Suppose the price of A is $2 and the price of B is $3 and that good A is plotted on the horizontal axis. If the price of A doubles and the price of B triples, leaving the consumer's income unchanged, the budget line O will become flatter. O will become steeper. O will shift out from the origin. will be unchanged. will shift in toward the origin.

Consider the following graph. Assume that income increases, and the budget constraint line shifts to the right. The utility-maximizing choice on the original budget constraint is A. Enable ZoomPan
The graph of the budget line below has dollars on the vertical axis and food on the horizontal axis. Which statement is false? D 100 Food The vertical intercept represents all money available for purchasing. The distance OA shows the amount of money spent on OD amount of food. If the amount of money available is known in this graph, then the absolute and relative price of food is known also. The horizontal intercept represents all the food the consumer could purchase with the budget available.

Currently, Paula is maximizing utility by purchasing five TV dinners (T) and four LeanCuisine Meals (L) each week. Suppose both T and L cost $5 each.a. Graph Paula’s initial utility-maximizing choice.b. Suppose the price of T falls by $1 and the price of L rises by $1.25. Can Paula stillafford to buy her initial consumption choices? What do you know about her new budgetconstraint?c. Make a new graph to show why Paula will choose to consume more T and less Lgiven her new budget constraint to maximize utility. Is her utility increased, decreased,or unchanged given the price change? [Hint: try to make the graph as big as possible tosee how the utility is tangent/intersects with the lines more easily] d. In part (b), suppose another scenario where the price of T rises by $1 and the priceof L falls by $1.25. Is Paula’s utility increased, decreased, or unchanged given the pricechange?
Good Y 40 30 0 L L1 L2 8* e₁ ./1 12 60 Good X I The arrow on the graph above shows the budget line movement from L¹ to L² resulting from a price change. Identify (using the reference tangency points) the substitution effect of the price change. Explain in words the difference between the substitution effect and income effect. Which distances between the points (e₁,e₂, and e') show the income and substitution effects?
