Given: Assume a consumer is attempting to maximize utility subject to the budget constraint by choosing units of consumption between two goods: good 1 and good 2. Utility maximizing choices are provided in the following table for a baseline scenario and new scenario. Item Baseline New Price of Good 1 $10 $10 Price of Good 2 $10 $6 Income $20,000 $20,000 Units Consumed, Good 1 1000 1250 Units Consumed, Good 2 1000 1250 Utility 4000 5000 Using the table, how did the new event affect good 2? It caused demand for good 2 to decrease. O It caused demand for good 2 to incrcase. OIt caused quantity demanded for good 2 to increase. O It caused no change in quantity demanded for good 2. It cause quantity demanded for good 2 to decrease. It caused no change in demand for good 2.

Please tell me which of the multiple choices in question 1.6)1.7)1.8) are correct.State only the correct ones please. 1.6) The marginal rate of substitution (MRS) can be defined as: Select one or more: a. The amount of one good that the consumer is willing to trade for one unit of the other. b. The ratio of the amounts of two goods. c. The change in the consumer’s utility when one good is substituted for another. d. The absolute value of the slope of the indifference curve. 1.7) (SEE ATTACHED PICTURE) The diagram shows that: Select one or more: a. If Angela works 24 hours a day she can still survive. b. There is a technically feasible allocation where Angela does not work. c. A new technology that produced more grain would give a larger technically feasible set. d. If Angela needed less grain to survive the technically feasible set would be smaller.
5) A consumer of two goods, good 1 and good 2, has a utility function u (X1, X2) = x1 0,6. X2 0,4, where x denotes units of good 1 and X2 units of good 2. The price of good 1 is 5 euros And the price of good 2 is 3 euros per unit and the consumer’s income is 150 euros. Suppose that only the price of good 1 changes and that the new price is p, ‘ = 2. Then the demand function of good 1 that is derived from the utility function is Choose one: A) X1= 0.6m/p1 B) X1= 6m/p1 C) X1= 4m/p1 D) X1= 0.4m/p1 E) Not defined
