George has a fixed income and can afford at most 7 units of X if he spends his entire income on X. Alternatively, if he spends all his income on Y, he can afford at most 6 units of Y. Draw George's budget line and an indifference curve such that George chooses to buy 4 pieces of X. Martha has the same income and faces the same prices, yet she chooses to buy 2 pieces of X. In equilibrium, what is George's subjective value of X in terms of Y? What is Martha's? Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer.

Consider a consumer who wants to consume only two commodities and has an income of $250. Assume the price of good 1 is $25 per unit and the price of good 2 is $50 per unit. Now, inflation causes the price of good 1 to increase to $30 per unit, while the price of good 2 increases to $60 per unit. On the other hand, the consumer also gets a raise of $110 (so her new income is $360). What will happen to the consumption bundles (x₁, x₂)?

Suppose initially that the price of X is $5, the price of Y is $10, and the consumer's income is $100. If Y is measured on the vertical axis, X is measured on the horizontal axis, and the price of Y increases to $20: a. the entire budget line will shift inward toward the origin, with its slope changing from –1/2 to –1/4. b. the budget line will pivot inward toward the origin along the X axis, with its slope changing from –1/2 to –1/4. c. the budget line will pivot inward toward the origin along the Y axis, with the slope changing from –1/2 to –1/4. d. the budget line will pivot inward toward the origin along the Y axis, with the slope changing from –1/4 to –1/2.
Siobhan divides her spending between lemons and limes. If the price of lemons falls, the income effect predicts she will buy Question 15 options: Fewer limes. The same number of limes. More limes.
It is given that the price of goods X and Y are both Rs.10 each, a consumer consumes 10 units of X and 10 units of Y at equilibrium.a. Draw the budget line and indifference curve and show the point of consumer equilibrium. b. If the price of X falls to Rs.5, PY and money income remaining the same, what is the real income increase?c. At the new equilibrium caused by a fall in price of X, the consumer has a combination of 16 units of X and 12 units of Y. Show the price effect of a change in price of X using the PCC.d. Why are more units of Y consumed even though its price has not fallen?

Suppose U = min(X, Y) and the price of X is 1, the price of Y is 1 and income is $12. If the price of X increases to 2, the substitution effect is 2 -1 0 -2

Originally the consumer faces the budget line p1x1 + p2x2 = m.What happens to the budget line if the price of good 2 increases, but the price of good 1 and income remain constant?
In the below figure, a consumer is initially in equilibrium at point C. The consumer’s income is $400, and the budget line through point C is given by $400 = $100X + $200Y.
