- Explain why individuals make Choices that are directly on the budget constraint, rather than inside the budget constraint DI outside it.Would you expect total utility to rise or fall with additional consumption of a good? Why?As a college student you work at a part-time job, but your parents also send you a monthly allowance. Suppose one month your parents forgot to send the check. Show graphically how your budget constraint is affected. Assuming you only buy normal goods, what would happen to your purchases of goods?

He spends his money making telephone calls (good ?, measured in minutes) at a price of ?? and on other composite good ?, whose price has been normalized to one, meaning ?? = $1. His mobile phone company offers him two plans: plan A, in which he pays no monthly fee and makes calls for $0.50 per minute, or plan B, in which he pays a $20 monthly fee and benefits from cheaper phone calls at $0.20 per minute.(a) Depict Jeremy’s budget constraint under each of the two plans, with the number of phone calls (good ?) in the horizontal axis and the composite good (good ?) in the vertical axis. (b) If Jeremy mentioned that plan A is better for him, what is the set of consumption bundles he may purchase if his behavior is consistent with WARP?
