- Non-linear pricing in water utilities: You are the manager of water utilities, and you are trying to determine how different water pricing schemes will affect consumption. One option for pricing is called decreasing block pricing, where the marginal price paid decreases with quantity paid. In particular, you are considering a decreasing block schedule where consumers pay $0.20 per gallon for the first 20 gallons consumed, and then $0.10 per gallon for any additional gallons consumed. For this decreasing block pricing scheme, draw the budget constraint for a consumer that has $10 of income, where the composite good is the good on the y-axis. Another option for pricing is called increasing block pricing, where the marginal price paid increases with the quantity paid. In particular, you are considering an increasing block schedule where consumers pay $0.20 per gallon for the first 20 gallons consumed, and then $0.40 per gallon for any additional gallons consumed. For this increasingā¦arrow_forwardQ1: Match each diagram in Figure 1 with its description here.Assume that the economy is producing or attempting to produce at point A and that most members of society like meat and not fish.
