Jerry spends his entire budget on bread and gasoline. His preferences are complete, transitive,
monotonic, and convex. For Jerry, bread is an inferior good that follows the law of demand.
Moreover, his cross-price elasticity of demand for gasoline with respect to the price of bread is
negative. Suppose the price of bread increases, all else constant.
a. Create a chart to show the total, income, and substitution effects on bread and gasoline of the
increase in the price of bread.
b. Use budget lines and indifference curves to graphically illustrate the three effects. Be sure to
label each effect on your graph (or through the chart from part a) and plot bread on the x-axis
and gasoline on the y-axis
1. Suppose you get utility from two goods, food and clothing, and have a certain amount income.
Explain briefly how to derive the demand curve for food while the price of clothing and the amount
of income remain constant?

- Economists define normal goods as having a positive income elasticity. We can divide normal goods into two types: Those whose income elasticity is less than one and those whose income elasticity is greater than one. Think about products that would fall into each category. Can you come up with a name for each category?arrow_forwardRecent research confirms that the demand for cigarettes is not only inelastic, but it also indicates that smokers with incomes in the lower half of all incomes respond to a given price increase by reducing their purchases by amounts that are more than four times as large as the purchase reductions made by smokers in the upper half of all incomes. How can the income and substitution effects of a price change help explain this finding?arrow_forward#8arrow_forward
