- Suppose Katie buys the bundle (20,9) from the budget line 3x_1 + 5x_2 = 105. When the price of good 1 changes to p1 = 6 and the price of good 2 remains the same, she buys the bundle (5,15). On a later date when p1 = 5 and p2 = 4, by observing Katie’s choices we can say that the Weak Axiom of Revealed Preference (WARP) is violated if a) She buys the bundle (10,15). b) She buys the bundle (15,10) c) She buys the bundle (23,6) d) She buys the bundle (25,25). e) None of the above choices violates WARP.Refer to Figure 21-22. When the price of X is $80, the price of Y is $20, and the consumer’s income is $160, the consumer’s optimal choice is D. Then the price of X decreases to $20. The income effect can be illustrated as the movement from Group of answer choices D to E. D to C. C to E. E to D.Brit-Brick is a company that produces bricks and cement in the UK. Their largest consumer is ConstrUK, a UK construction company. The manager of Brit-Brick has asked the research department to find out how sensitive ConstrUK’s demand for bricks is. The research department has estimated that ConstrUK’s preferences over bricks (x) and cement (y) can be described by the utility function U(x,y)=xb/10y1-b/10 where b is 2, and where x and y are measured in bags. Example: if b=4, then . U(x,y)=x4/10y1-4/10=x2/5y3/5 The price for one bag of cement is equal to £1. It is estimated that ConstrUK’s budget is £10,000. Find the price-consumption curve for bricks and the corresponding demand curve.

The graph with bread and brie on the axes presents the utility‑maximizing combinations of bread and brie that Hayden chooses when the price of bread is $1.00$1.00 per loaf and the price of brie is $4.00$4.00 and $6.00$6.00 per wheel, respectively. The other graph shows Hayden's demand curve for brie. The two points and associated values in the graph for bread and brie combinations correspond to points A and B in the graph of the demand curve for brie. What are the specific prices and quantities of brie associated with points A and B on Hayden's demand curve? price of brie at point A: $$ quantity demanded at point A: price of brie at point B: $$ quantity demanded at point B:
- An agent has income m that can be spent on frequent flier miles f or on other goods – a “composite good” g. Their respective prices are: pf = 10 per mile and pg = 1 per unit. The flier miles have a stepwise price schedule. After the first 25 miles the price is reduced by 20% and after 50 miles the price is further reduced by another 50%.1. Put g on the vertical axis and f on the horizontal axis. Assume m = 200, and draw the budget constraint with all the intercepts and appropriate slopes. 2. On a separate graph, repeat part (1) for m = 300. 3. On a separate graph, repeat part (1) for m = 600.Brit-Brick is a company that produces bricks and cement in the UK.
