The budget constraint for a consumer who only buys apples (A) and bananas (B) is PAA + PBB = I where consumer income is I, the price of apples is PA, and the price of bananas is PB. To plot this budget constraint in a figure with apples on the horizontal axis, we should use a budget line represented by what slope-intercept equation?
Anna has an income of 1000 euros and utility function U(x,y)=x²y³. The prices of the two goods are P₁=5 and Py-20. a) Define the budget constraint and represent it graphically. (
a good is normal, then an increase in the price of the good will lead to which of the following to be true for this good? (Assume that there are only two goods, the individual's preferences lead to well-behaved preferences with strictly convex indifference curves and an interior solution for all budgets). Let SE = substitution effect, IE = income effect) (a) The magnitude of the IE for this good must be larger than the magnitude of the SE (b) The magnitude of the SE for this good must be larger than the magnitude of the IE (c) The good could be a Giffen good d) The good must be an ordinary good ( (e) None of the above
A consumer has an annual budget constraint for two goods: “housing sq. ft." and "$ for everything else". Draw the budget constraint for this consumer if income (v) = $50,000 and price per sq. ft. of housing, ph, is S200. Please be sure to fully label your graph (i.e., slope, intercept, etc.). Note: plot "housing sq. ft." on the x-axis. How would this consumer's budget line change if she received a $5,000 raise and the price of housing increased to $250? Include a graph with your answer. How did the economic rate of substitution (ERS) between housing and $ for everything else change when pa changed? Please interpret the ERS both before and after the price change.
c) Consider John who consumes two goods, (X and Y), with prices ?? = ?$35, ?? = ?$25 and income I =N$1500 i) Construct budget constraint ii) Draw John’s budget line with good X on the horizontal axis. iii) Use a graph to show the effect of an increase in income from N$1500 to N$2000. iv) What will happen to the slope of the budget line if the price of good X decreases to N$18?
(a) A consumer with income I=120 facing prices pX = 4 and pY = 8 for two goods X and Y (for each good she prefers more to less, with diminishing MRS) chooses optimally to consume 12 units of X. If the prices change and now pX = 6 and pY = 4, what is the possible range for her new optimal X consumption? (b) Forget about (a). A consumer with I=$240 budget is shopping for apples (x) and oranges (y). Apples cost $1 each up until 60 units; thereafter each apple costs $2. Similarly, oranges cost $1 each up until 60 units, and thereafter $2 each. Draw the graph of feasible set of bundles for the consumer with relevant points and numbers (shade the feasible area), no explanation needed. (c)(HARD!) In (b), calculate the optimal bundle assuming the consumer’s utility function is u(x,y) = x5y.
John has $300 as income and he uses his income only for apples and bananas. If he uses his income only for apples, he can buy 10 pounds. If he uses his income only for bananas, he can buy 15 pounds. Which one is the correct formula for his budget constraint when X=pounds of apples, Y=pounds of bananas and the prices are per pound? a) More information is needed to answer the question. b) 15X + 10Y = 300 c) 10X + 15Y = 300 d) 20X + 30Y = 300 e) 30X + 20Y = 300

What is the demand for Good X and Good Y? What is the Utility of the consumer following the price change? e) Considering the change in demand for each good between parts c) and d), how much is due to the substitution effect and how much is due to the income effect? f) Show your answers on a graph.
