Please no written by hand and no image Assume that the consumer's preferences are such that the choice problem has a unique solution. There are two goods in the market, x and y. The price of good x is 3, and the price of good y is 5. With these prices, the consumer chooses the basket (x,y)=(4,4). (a) Due to economic policy actions (e.g., changes in taxation), the price of good x rises to 5, and the price of good y drops to 2. How do these actions affect the consumer's well-being? (b) What if the price of good x rises to 6, the price of good y drops to 2, and the consumer chooses the basket (x,y)=(3,7) at these prices?"

There are only two brands of tennis balls Tom purchases: "Wilson" and "Penn." The more he purchases of a ball, the lower the marginal utility of that ball. He spends all of his income and his marginal utility of a "Wilson" is 6 and his marginal utility of an "Penn" is 12. The price of a "Wilson" ball is $1 and the price of an "Penn" is $2. Which of the statements is true based on the above information? Question 19 options: a) Tom could increase his satisfaction by trading "Wilson" for "Penn." b) In equilibrium, Tom must give up three "Penn" balls for two "Wilson" balls. c) Tom can increase his satisfaction by doing nothing d) Tom would be willing to give up two "Penn" balls for one "Wilson" ball.
Marcia spends her money on tee and biscuits and sugar, which she sees as perfect complements. She eats two biscuits with every cup of tea. A cup of tea costs $2 and one biscuit costs $0.2, and she spends $33.60 on tea and biscuits every week. Use a diagram measuring the number of biscuits on the horizontal axis to show her compensated variation and equivalent variation if the price of a biscuit decreases to $0.1. What can you say about the change in her consumer surplus?.
Suppose you have $12 to buy apples or oranges. The price of both apples and oranges is $2, and the marginal utility of buying apples or oranges is shown in the following table: a. In equilibrium, how many apples and oranges would you buy? b. Please speculate and draw the demand curve for apples or oranges (Note: the demand curve depicts the function of price and quantity demanded).
Calculate the demand for goods for Mad HatterAssume Mad Hatter has utility U = q1M * (q2M)^2. He maximises his utility given his budget constraint. He does not have any income, but can sell his endowment (12 apples, 3 bananas) to get money to buy what he wants. Calculate his demand for apples and bananas.
Suppose that a consumer perceives X and AOG (all other goods) to be perfect (one-for-one) substitutes. The consumer has an income of $100 and the price of x is 80 cents. If the price of x rises to 1.20, what is the resulting change in consumer surplus? Show work and explain
TRUE or FALSE. If the statement is correct, write TRUE on your answer sheet. If thestatement is incorrect, write FALSE. Explain why you answered TRUE or FALSE. 1. To some extent economics is about trade-offs. 2. If there is evidence that consumer income and the price of smartphones have influence onthe demand for tablet computers, the leftward shift in the demand curve of tabletcomputers is caused by a decrease in the price of tablet computers. 3. If fish and chicken are substitute goods, when the price of fish decreases with bountifulharvest, there will be a decrease in the quantity demand for chicken. 4. If organic virgin coconut oil (VCO) has been proven to enhance your immune systemagainst corona virus, the price VCO will increase because of a shift in supply and anunchanging demand curve.
Revealed Preference is when an individual's behavior reveals information about a person's tastes and preferences,i.e. what he likes and dislikes and how much he likes or dislikes a good. The individual demand schedule and an individual's demand curve reveals a person's tastes and preferences for a good. Specifically it reveals how much each successive unit of the good he consumes is worth to him. We can say this differently by saying the maximum price a person is willing to pay for a particular unit of the good is how much that unit of the good is worth to him. This value is revealed by his behavior or his willingness to voluntarily give a certain amount of money in exchange for that unit of the good. In other words, how many units of a good a person demands/buys at any given price. Look at the image.

Because of the change to Antonio and Caroline's real income and the direction of the income effect, upscale dinners are a normal good or an inferior good for the friends.
An individual has $12 dollars to spend on the two goods (y=12). The price of good #1 is $2 (p1=2) and the price of good #2 is $6 (p2=6). How much of good #1 will the individual demand and how much of good #2 will the individual demand if their utility function is given by the following expression: U (q1 , q2) = q1 +2q2 a.) Quantity demanded of good #1 = b.) Quantity demanded of good #2 =
