Suppose we observe that an individual's demand for good 1 is: 1/(2p,+p2) (where I-income). From this we can conclude that:Goods 1 and 2 are perfect complementsO The price of good 1 is higher than the price of good 2Two answers are correctO Goods 1 and 2 are perfect substitutesThree answers are correctNo answer is correctGoods 1 and 2 are normal goodsO These goods may be perfect substitutes or perfect complements, it dependsupon the utility function

Pls help with thsi question Consider an Individual who buys films (F) and books (B) with the following utility function:?(?, ?) = 5? + 2?This individual also has the following incomes (m) and prices (pF and pB):? = $50, ?f= $5, ?b= $10Given the above:1) Draw the utility functions for utility levels of 10 and 20. Draw these with films on the x-axis and books on the y-axis. 2) What is the MRS for these utility functions? Assume that films remain on the x-axis andbooks remain on the y-axis. 3) What is the consumption bundle that delivers the highest level of utility that is alsoaffordable?

Which of the following correctly defines compensating variation? O The difference in the price a consumer is willing to pay and the price the consumer actually pays. The amount of income that a consumer requires to compensate them for a lower quality product. O The amount of income that must be given or taken away from a consumer to keep their purchasing power constant after a price change. O The amount of income that must be given or taken away from a consumer after a change in price, such that their welfare after the price change is the same as it was before the price change. O The amount of income that must be given or taken away from a consumer before a change in price, such that their welfare before the price change is the same as it will be after the price change. O No answer.

10. Assume an individual's preferences are represented by the following indifference map and he has an income of S400. Which of the following is shown when the price of Good I is $20 and the price of Good 2 increases from $10 to S16?
