Eric buys only milk and cookies. In year 1, Eric earns $90, milk costs $2 per quart, and cookies cost $3 per dozen. Use the green line (triangle symbol) to draw Eric's budget constraint on the following graph.
Now suppose that all prices increase by 10 percent in year 2 and that Eric's salary increases by 10 percent as well.
Use the blue line (circle symbol) to draw Eric's new budget constraint on the preceding graph.
True or False: Eric will consume more milk and fewer cookies in year 2 than in year 1.
True
False.
Jim buys only milk and cookies.
a. In year 1, Jim earns $100, milk costs $2 per quart,
and cookies cost $4 per dozen. Draw Jim's budget
constraint.
b. Now suppose that all prices increase by 10 percent
in year 2 and that Jim's salary increases by
10 percent as well. Draw Jim's new budget
constraint. How would Jim's optimal combination
of milk and cookies in year 2 compare to his
optimal combination in year 1?
