- The horizontally oriented definition of DEMAND states that "demand is the quantitites of a good that buyers are willing and able to buy at various prices in a given time interval." Which of the following statements are TRUE? If I really like a good, it does not matter how much I am able to afford to spend on it. The demand for a good is a specific amount. Demand is a behavioral relationship expressing what quantities buyers would want and be able to buy at various prices. If I can't afford to buy a product at today's available prices, I do not have a demand. The demand is all the possible price quantity combinations Demand depends on the availability of supply. Demand is a relationship between price as a variable and quantity demanded as a variable. Demand is a flow and requires a time interval be be fully understood.Suppose a model with only two goods, X and Y. Draw the budget constraint of a consumer with income I who faces a price for good Y equal to 1 and a price for good X that increases with the quantity of good X bought. Explain the shape of the graph using the relationship between the slope of the budget line and the ratio of prices.Which of the following behaviors contradict the standard discounted utility model? (A) hyperbolic discounting; (B) context effffects; (C) preference for commitments; (D) all of the above.
- for which utility function recardian equivalence does not hold?The goal of the consumer is to maximize the total utility or satisfaction derived from their purchase choices, given the unique budget constraint. To calculate total utility of a given combination of T-shirts and movies, one would use the following approach: Group of answer choices For a given combination of T-shirts and movies, assign a number of utils to that combination. For a given combination of T-shirts and movies, survey a group of individuals to determine an average for utils to be assigned to the number of T-shirts and movies. Use utils as a measure of utility, assigning a specific number to T-shirts and movies, and then add those together. For a given combination of T-shirts and movies, use Google to identify the number of utils associated with the number of T-shirts and movies and then sum them.10) If prices and income in a two-good model double, what will happen to the budget line? A) The intercepts of the budget line will increase. B) The intercepts of the budget line will decrease. C) The slope of the budget line may either increase or decrease. D) There will be no effect on the budget line. E) Insufficient information is given to determine what effect the change will have on the budget line.
