b. i.
Explain the concept of Marginal Rate of Substitution (MRS) as an
important tool of indifference curve analysis of demand
1.In income substitution effects acts in
opposite direction, then the total effect on
consumption is always negative. (T/F)
t is known that the indifference curve is convex. What does this tell you about the relationship between the goods?

- Consumer Theory Daniel spends all his money on only two goods: chocolates (good 1) and milkshakes (good 2). We have information about his purchases, income and prices for 4 weeks: A, B, C and D. For each week, the budget line and the goods bought are shown on the graph below. a) Suppose that Daniel’s preferences are transitive and satisfy "more is better". Shade all the bundles that you are certain are worse for Daniel than bundle A in one colour, and all the bundles that you are certain are better for Daniel than bundle A in a different colour. (You can use different patterns instead of colours.) Indicate which is which. Explain. b) Repeat part a), assuming that Daniel’s preferences are transitive, strictly convex and satisfy "more is better". c) Suppose that Daniel’s preferences are transitive and satisfy "more is better".
