A.
Draw the following scenario:
Muhammad's percelves canned tuna (Y) as an inferior good and fresh tuna (X) as a normal good. If his income Increases by 100%, and his Income elasticity of both types of tuna is 1. Show the effect of this increase in income on the change in his optimal choice of canned and fresh tuna, highlighting his income-consumption curve. Clearly label your graph. Reflect the proportional changes in your graph.
The graph may be something like that
When Sam has an income of $1,000, he consumes 30 units of good A and 50 units of good B. After Samâs
income increases to $1,500, he consumes 60 units of good A and 40 units of good B. Which of the following
statements is correct?
Both goods A and B are inferior goods
Both goods A and B are normal goods
Good A is a normal good, and good B is an inferior good
Good A is an inferior good, and good B is a normal good

- A consumer must spend all of her income on two goods (X and Y). In each of the following scenarios, indicate whether the equilibrium consumption of goods X and Y will increase or decrease. Assume good X is an inferior good and good X is a normal good. a. Income doubles. b. Income quadruples and all prices double. c. Income and all prices quadruple. d. Income is halved and all prices double.arrow_forwardA consumer is in equilibrium when Px = 7 and Py = 4, and he is consuming 40 units of good X and 80 units of good Y. If Py increases to Rs. 5, he moves to a new equilibrium where he consumes 50 units of good X. Beginning from the new equilibrium, if income increases by Rs 100 and the consumer decides to consume 65 units of good Y, what will be the shape of the ICC and the Engel curve? Calculate and explain. Also draw the demand curve for Y indicating the above scenario.arrow_forward
