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 wa 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 change. O No answer.

Question 5 Andrew is currently spending all his income on 2 goods, burgers and Pepsi. He buys burgers at 4 L.E. a unit, with a total utility of 1000 and a marginal utility of 24. He buys Pepsi at 1 L.E a unit with a total utility of 800 and a marginal utility of 18. In order of reach consumer equilibrium, he should consume: The same amount of burgers and Pepsi. More Pepsi but the same amount of burgers. More Pepsi and less burgers. More burgers but the same amount of Pepsi. More burgers and less Pepsi.

Refer to the graph below Quantity of Y 160 0 Multiple Choice The consumer's income is $1,000 Why doesn't the consumer choose the combination at point B O Quantity of X 200 O The marginal utility of Y exceeds the marginal uplity of X O The consumer is willing to give up more X for an additional unit of Y than must be given up given the relative prices of X and Y. The marginal utility per dollar spent on X exceeds the marginal utility per dollar spent on Y The consumer is willing to give up more Y for an additional unt of X than must be given up given the relative prices of X and Y

The table shows the total utility data for products S and T. Assume that the prices of S and T are $3 and $5, respectively, and that consumer income is $22. Total Utility 12 27 39 48 51 Units of S 1 2 3 4 5 Multiple Choice If the price of T decreases from $5 to $3, while the price of S and the consumer's income stay the same, then the utility-maximizing combination is such that the quantity of T increases from 2 to 4. Units of T 1 2 3 4 5 Total Utility 20 35 45 50 52 decreases from 4 to 3. stays the same at 2, but the consumer has $1 remaining. increases from 2 to 3, but the consumer has $1 remaining.
A consumer has income of 15000. Masks costs $35 per mask, and sanitizers cost $70 per bottle. The price of mask rises from $35 to $40 per mask, while the price of saniizer is unchangeD. For a consumer wih consant income of 15000, show what happens to consumption of both goods (assume both goods are normal goods) decompose the change into income and substitution effects
