The picture in this exercise describes an economy that is experiencing a boom in the level of capital K. The economy, after the boom, has reached point B. Point A is the evaluation of the substitution effect induced by the capital boom. What can you say about the consumption and leisure levels in the economy BEFORE the boom? Select a point on the original indifference curve (purple curve) where consumption (and leisure) may have been before the boom. B A w** h-l

Marley has 100 hours per week available she can spend either working or doing leisure activities. He can work at a wage rate of $50 per hour. Bob receives $1000 of rental income per week, no matter how much he works. Use leisure-income model to solve this:- i) draw Marley budget line and optimal choice of working 80 hours in a week then calculate the maximum and optimal amount of income ii.) And suppose Marley is suppose to share the household expenses and then be taxed 50% of her wage income. then draw another diagram to compare Marley choice in Part i) and the new labour supply decision of working 90 hours per week due to the tax. Clearly label out the income effect, substitution effect and total effect in the diagram.
Suppose preferences do not exhibit diminishing marginal rate of substitution. Can we set MRS=n to find the Golden Rule bundle?
Saima works as a free-lance worker at a software house in Rawalpindi. Suppose she keeps awake for 100 hours a week. Also suppose that part of this time she can spend on earning money doing this job and using it for her consumption, and the rest of the time she can spend on her leisure not earning money. At first she earns Rs.500 for every hour she works. Draw a figure showing Saima’s budget constraint, her indifference curve for consumption and leisure and her optimum.
The substitution effect of an increase in the wage rate will: O always lead to a decrease in the quantity of labor supplied. O always lead to an increase in the quantity of labor supplied. O lead to an increase in the quantity of labor supplied only if leisure is a normal good. O lead to an increase in the quantity of labor supplied only if leisure is not a normal good. O lead to an increase in the quantity of labor supplied only if the income effect works in the same direction.
How do you derive that the slope of a budget line is -p1/p2? I'd like to see the mathematical process. Thanks!
Assume the consumer is correctly applying the rational spending rule (consumer equilibrium) for goods X and Z and he is at consumer equilibrium. If the price of X falls, then the marginal rate of substitution of X (in absolute value) will _ and the consumption in X will consumer equilibrium holding all other factors unchanged. Group of answer choices -__at the new increase; increase decrease; decrease decrease; increase increase; decrease
Sally believes that any market basket on the income-consumption curve shares the same marginal rate of substitution. Do you agree with Sally? Why?
Refer to the following diagram. Point A is 24 hours, C is 14 hours, D is 8 hours, and E is 6 hours. Income B₂ 0 D -Leisure If the current wage rate results in a budget constraint of AB2, how many hours will the individual work?
Larissa consumes at a point on her budget line where her marginal rate of substitution is less than the slope of her budget line (MRS_X,Y < PX/PY). As Larissa moves toward her optimum consumption bundle, her marginal rate of substitution MRS_X,Y will OA. fall. B. rise. OC. stay the same. OD. It is impossible to tell what Larissa's MRSX,Y will do without further information. Reset Selection
Anne likes to have bagels and orange juice for breakfast. A consumption bundle consists of a quantity of bagels, x (number of bagels), and a quantity of orange juice, y (liters of orange juice). For all of the following questions you can assume that the consumption set is R2+. This means that bagels and orange juice can be consumed in any non-negative quantity. Anne has wealth of $10 to spend. (a) At supermarket-ABC the price of bagels is px = 2$/bagel and the price of orange juice is py = 4$/liter. Draw Anne's budget set when she shops at supermarket-ABC. What is the slope of the budget line? (b) At supermarket-XYZ the price of bagels is qx = 4$/bagel and the price of orange juice is qy = 2$/liter. Draw Anne's budget set if she shops at supermarket-XYZ. What is the slope of the budget line? (c) Supermarket-ABC is on the East Side; supermarket-XYZ is on the West Side; Anne lives in the middle. Suppose that Anne can travel for free to either one of the two supermarkets, but she can only…

D) are concave. 4) If the consumer's non-labor income increases while wages remain unchanged, what will happen to the budget line? A) The budget line shifts inward without a change in slope. B) The budget line rotates inward from the intercept on the horizontal axis. C) The budget line rotates outward from the intercept on the vertical axis. D) The budget line shifts outward without a change in slope.
