- Suppose Alphonsos town raises the price of bus tickets from 0.50 to 1 and file price of burgers rises from 2 to 4. Why is file opportunity cost of bus tickets unchanged? Suppose Alphonsns weekly spending money increases from 10 to 20. How is his budget constraint affected from all three changes? Explain.For this question, assume that indifference curves are strictly convex, consumption andleisure are normal goods, and the optimal amounts of consumption, leisure, and labor arealways positive. A wage increase ______. (SE = substitution effect; IE = income effect)(a) increases labor supply via the SE and decreases labor supply via the IE(b) decreases labor supply via the SE and decreases labor supply via the IE(c) increases labor supply via the SE and increases labor supply via the IE(d) decreases labor supply via the SE and increases labor supply via the IE(e) Can’t tell without knowing the utility functionMa1. Please give only typed answer. Assume the following expendiexpenditure function. (a) Interpret this function. In particular, what will happen to the optimal expenditure, if the consumer wanted to maintain a high level of utility? (b) Calculate Hicks demand for good 2. (c) Suppose that p1 = 1, p2 = 1 and that U = 28. Calculate and interpret the variation compensation if the price of good 2 increases by $1.
