You are required to use handwriting when you draw and produce the graph. What happen to your Substitution Effect and Income Effect when the government impose RM0.50 cents on you daily usage of oil/gasoline? In this context, you only have two demanded goods - Oil & Other Goods. Use the diagram & graph (with the explanations) to show the impact of the tax.

Mrs. Rochester earns $4500 a week and spends her entire income on computers andpastries, since these are the only two items that provide her utility. Furthermore, Mrs.Rochester insists that for every computer she buys, she must also buy a pastry. a) What is the algebraic equation for Mrs. Rochester’s budget constraint if computerscost $25 each and pastries cost $14 each? How many of each good will she buy andrepresent this on a budget line with pastries on the horizontal axis. b) Draw an indifference curve showing the optimum choice. Label the optimum aspoint A.
