Q1-Select the true or false for the following statement also give the explanation and support your answer with graphical presentation where necessary. Explanation is compulsory 3 to 6 line. Two indifference curves can intersect each other. If total utility at optimum level marginal utility is negative. If government imposes price ceiling on goods “X” the result is excess supply and shortage of demand for goods “X”. Consumer budget line cannot touch axis. In perfectly inelastic goods and services change in price equal to change in quantity demand.
Stuart's utility function for goods X and Y is represented as U(X,Y)=X0.8Y0.2. Assume that his income is $100 and the prices of goods X and Y are $20 and $10, respectively. Now a government subsidy program lowers the price of X from $20 per unit to $10 per unit. (a) Calculate and graphically show the change in good X consumption resulting from the program. (b) Graphically show the change in consumption attributable to the separate income and substitution effects. (c) Show (graphically) how much the program cost the government.
28 - Which of the following statements is true about the point where the budget line cuts the horizontal axis? a) Returns the slope of the budget line. B) It shows the marginal utility of the good on the horizontal axis. C) When all of the income is spent on the good on the horizontal axis, it shows the amount that can be bought from this good. D) It shows the rate of substitution between goods. TO) It represents the bundle of goods that makes the marginal utility of income zero.
1) To describe the slope of an indifference curve, which of the following statements is true? a) Slopes will vary along an usual indifference curve for to normal goods that an individual is purchasing b) Slopes will be the same along an indifference curve for two perfect substitutes goods that an individual is purchasing c) Slopes will be a right angle for each indifference curve for two perfect complement goods that an individual is purchasing d) All of the above 2) A consumer has preferences over two goods X and Y and satisfies the property of ‘more is better’. If the consumer’s income doubles and prices remain unchanged then which of the following statements is necessarily false? a) The demand for good X will increase b) The demand for both goods will increase c) The demand for good Y will decrease d) The demand for both goods will decrease 3) Suppose an individual has preferences over two goods---good X and good Y. If this individual is maximising their…
- Create a consumer model that shows how economists explain the consumer choice between two products (X & Y) that maximize the consumer’s utility. Do not use numbers. Just graphs and detailed explanations. Show why the equilibrium point (tangency) shows the best bundle of X & Y and that any other point will not reflect a bundle that maximizes consumers' utility. Explain the income and substitution effect. Derive the demand function from the consumer theory. Do not use numbers. Just graphs and detailed explanations
INTERMEDIATE MICROECONOMICS 2. Clearly describe substitution effect and income effect for a fall in price for a normal good and an inferior good
1) Construct a linear demand function equation for a normal good. From this equation; * Create the drawing of the demand curve. * Find the slope of the demand curve that you have drawn from this equation with the help of formula and figure. 2) In your opinion, would it be enough to know only mathematics to be a good "economist"? Explain your yes or no answer to this question with the reasons.
E1 Suppose the Federal Government issues $100 worth of food stamps to everyone in your city. These stamps are coupons that can be exchanged for $100 worth of food at the grocery store and they can be used only by the person to whom they are issued. Draw your budgetline between “food’ and “all other goods” both before and after the food stamps are issued. Assume the price of food = price of “all other goods” = $1.00 and the individual’s initial income is $200.
Intermediate Microeconomics Problem 1: Suppose two goods are perfect complements and the price of good x increases. (a) Draw indifference curves and budget lines to show the initial and new equilibrium. (12) (b) What is the total effect resulting from the price increase of good x?(c) What is the income effect resulting from the price increase of good x?(d) What is the substitution effect resulting from the price increase of x?(e) Provide an intuitive explanation for your answers in (b)-(d).(f) Sketch the consumer’s Marshallian demand curve for good x. Label clearly the pointsthat you used in deriving your graph and label this curve Dm.Please answer all the questions. Thanks in Advance.
Question #3 Please explain what are the substitution and income effects (a detailed response is expected). Mark consumes two goods apples and oranges. If the price of orange increases from $2 to $4 and orange is an inferior good, please illustrate graphically the income and substitution effects. Please label your diagram carefully and provide explanation. Qd = 3300 – 2P and Qs = 500 + 8p Solve for: Price, Quantity and Market equilibria
Question Suppose the demand function for good X is given by Q^d_X = 10 - 1.8P_x + 0.5P_y + 0.07M + 0.01A where P_x is price of good X, P_Y is price of good Y, M is average income of individuals consuming good X, and A is advertising expenditure. Currently, P_x = $5, P_y = $I2, M = $200 and A = $600. Based on this information, which of the following is/are true? A 10% increase in the price of good Y will cause the quantity demanded of Good X to decrease by approximately 2.22% Demand for Good X is relatively inelastic Good X is a normal good I only II only I and III II and III I, II and III
Which of the ff. is correct with regards to the demand curve? A. If the price of the good increases, the demand curve for the good will shift to the left B. If the price of the good increases, the consumers have the incentive to look for substitutes, thus, the quantity demanded and its price are inversely related C. Income of the consumers is written on the vertical axis D. Varying preferences of the consumers is reflected in the demand curve and is written on the horizontal axis
