Isn't the utility function is perfect complement: min{} and the indifference curves should be L-shaped instead of convex and concave?
We claimed in the text that if preferences were monotonic, then a diagonal line through the origin would intersect each indifference curve exactlyonce. Can you prove this rigorously? (Hint: what would happen if itintersected some indifference curve twice?)
Given the budget line and indifference curvesshown in Exhibit A-6, assume the consumer isinitially at point C. To maximize total utility, theconsumer shoulda. purchase more of good X and less of good Y.b. remain at point C.c. move to point B and then to point A.d. purchase more of good Y and less of good X.
Suppose a consumer buys only two goods x and y and spends her entire income on these teo goods. She must first but some fixed quantity y before she buys any amount of x. After purchasing y; what matters is the quantity of x only and utility will increase only by buying more x. Please Draw the indifference curves. * Please draw the indifference curves as the solution*
We claimed in the text that if preferences were monotonic, then a diag-onal line through the origin would intersect each indifference curve exactly once. Can you prove this rigorously? (Hint: what would happen if itintersected some indifference curve twice?)
In case of the complementary goods what is the shape of the indifference curve ??
If both good 1 and good 2 are bads, will the indifference curve have a positive or a negative slope? If they are perfect-complement bads, draw the indifference curve.
Graph and explain indifference curves for the following situations:(i) An individual has constant marginal utility toconsumption in both periods.(ii) An individual does not derive utility from this period’sconsumption, but does from the next period’sconsumption.(iii) An individual’s utility decreases with consumption inboth periods.
Explain why most indifference curve are convex??
