4: What are five fundamental questions (and answers) in economics? Five fundamental questions How do market system answer the question? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Chapter 3 starts here. Define "demand" and State the law of demand. Demand is a (s (w_ specified period of (t d ) or a curve which shows the various amounts of a product buyers are ) to purchase at each price in a series of possible prices during a ) and (a ). Demand portrays relationship between ), they are (positively, negatively) related either in the table or in the ( graph ). The law of demand states that, other things being equal, as price increases, the corresponding quantity demanded (rises, falls). Restated, there is a (an) ( direct, inverse ) relationship between price and ) and ( q. quantity demanded with everything else held constant.
7 Asen tries to minimize his cost of using two goods x subscript 1 end subscript and x subscript 2 end subscript. The price of the first good is BGN 12 and the second good BGN 8. His utility function is x subscript 1 superscript 3 divided by 5 end superscript x subscript 2 superscript 2 divided by 5 end superscript and the utility he will get from using both goods, is 32 units. Find the Hicks quantities demanded and what Assen's minimum budget must be to consume these quantities and obtain the above utility. e-412, h2=21, h1=21 e=416, h2=21, h1=21 e=640, h1=32, h2=32 e=422, h2=21, h1=21 e=378, h2=21, h1=21 e-378, h2=20, h1=20 another answer e-378, h2=24, h1=24

A business sells 30,000 units each month at a price of Tk.150 each. It is projected that monthly sales will increaseby 3000 units for each Tk.4.50 reduction in price.(i) Construct the demand equation(ii) What is the highest price to be paid for this product?(iii) What is the highest quantity demanded for this product?(iv) How many units will be bought if the price is Tk.100 per unit?(v) What is the price per unit if 40,000 units were demanded?(vi) Sketch the graph of the demand equation. You have to solve only iv,v and vi.

1- If Isabelle's marginal utility for pizza is 10 and her marginal utility for salads is 2, then Isabelle will choose to eat five times more (a) salads than pizzas . (b) Isabelle will be ready to exchange five salads for a pizza. (c) Both of the above answers are correct. (d) None of the answers above is not correct. 2- Consider a consumer who consumes two goods, good 1 and good2. We denote by p1 the price of the good1 and by p2 the price of the good2. We denote by Um1 the marginal utility of good 1 for the consumer and by Um2 its marginal utility of good 2. The quantity of good 1 that the consumer must give up in order to be able to consume an additional unit of good 2 is equal to: (a) -p1 / p2 (b) -p2 / p1 (c) -um1/ um2 -Um2 / Um1. 3- Consider a consumer who consumes two goods, good 1 and good 2. We denote by q1 his consumption of good 1 and by q2 his consumption of good 2. Graphically, we measure the quantity of good 1 on the abscissa and the quantity of good 2 on the order. Suppose…
