- Luke has a monthly income of $80. He spends this money making telephone calls from home (measured in minutes of calls) and on other goods. His mobile phone company offers him two plans: Plan A: Pay no monthly fee and make calls for $0.50 per minute. Plan B: Pay a $30 monthly fee and make calls for $0.1 per minute. Graph Luke’s budget constraint under each of the two plans.arrow_forwardsub= 24 helparrow_forwardsketch a person’s indifference map and budget line for two goods, X on the horizontal axis and Y on the vertical axis. Mark the optimum consumption point. Now illustrate the following (you might need to draw a separate diagram for each): (a) A rise in the price of good X (a normal good), but no change in the price of good Y. (b) A shift in the person’s tastes from good Y to good X. (c) A fall in the person’s income and a fall in the price of good Y, with the result that the consumption of Y remains constant (but that of X falls).arrow_forward
- marginal utility is a measure of the benefit (or value, or enjoyment) a person obtains by a) Consuming a single additional unit of a product. b)Selling a single additional unit of a product (and spending the resulting cash). c) Borrowing the dollar value of a single additional unit of a product (and spending it on something nice). d)Converting a single additional unit of product to an equivalent number of units.arrow_forward6. A consumer has an expenditure function given by E = Ū(P+). When the consumer has an income of 100, it can reach a maximum utility of 20. The price of x increases by 3 and the consumer's income increases by 25. Are they better off or worse off than before the changes? Explain how you know.
