Consider your decision about how many hours to work.   The following graph shows your budget constraint assuming that you pay no taxes on your income.   On the following graph, show the effect of a 15 percent income tax on your budget constraint.    In order for the overall effect of an income tax to cause the number of hours worked to increase, the income effect must be (greater than , less than , the same as) ?    the substitution effect.

Suppose the price of bananas falls. Explain how the income and substitution effects work in the adjustment to a new level of banana consumption.

Diminishing marginal rate of substitution for a good means:     I. decreasing the quantity of a good that the consumer would give up for one more additional quantity of the other good     II. increasing the quantity of a good that the consumer would give up for one more additional quantity of the other good     III.   no change for the quantity of a good that the consumer would give up for one more additional quantity of the other good       IV. all answers are correct

Jeff spends all of his money on housing (H) and other stuff (S) and has a diminishing marginal rate of substitution between housing and stuff. Jeff used to live and work in a small town where housing prices were relatively low. His company has decided to transfer him to a large city where housing prices are higher. (For simplicity, assume that all other prices are the same.) Using a diagram, explain to Jeff's company how to find the amount it needs to raise his salary to keep him just as well after the 2. transfer as he was before. Tridor

A consumer has a budget set aside for entertainment during the year, and they spend the budget on concerts and plays. The consumer has a strong preference for attending concerts over plays: the two activities are substitutes, but not very strong substitutes. Sketch the indifference curves for this consumer on a graph, with concert tickets on the vertical axis and play tickets on the horizontal axis. Briefly explain why the consumer might ultimately choose to purchase a large number of play tickets, even though they have a strong preference for concerts. Include a budget line on your graph to illustrate this case.

If Molly Bee increases her work hours when her wage increases, then  the income effect of the wage increase outweighs the substitution effect. the substitution effect of the wage increase outweighs the income effect. leisure is an inferior good to Molly. Molly' is spending beyond her means.

Suppose Lorenzo has a weekly budget of $48 to spend on ranch dressing and peanut butter. Ranch dressing is priced at $4 per bottle, and peanut butter is priced at $6 per jar. If Lorenzo spends his entire $48 on ranch dressing, he can buy jars of peanut butter. buy Use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Lorenzo's budget constraint on the following graph. Next, use the orange point (square symbol) to shade the area that represents combinations of ranch dressing and peanut butter that are affordable for Lorenzo. Finally, place the black point (plus symbol) on the point on Lorenzo's budget constraint that corresponds to a scenario in which Lorenzo spends $24 on each good. Note: Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes. PEANUT BUTTER (Jars) 24 22 20 18 2 0 + 0 2 4 12 14 16 18 20 22 bottles of ranch dressing.

Andre has a salary of $1000. He spends his entire budget on shoes and beers. The cost for a pair of shoes is $15 and the cost for can of beer is $25. 1. Construct Andre’s budget constraint (place) beers on the y-axis   2. Suppose Andre’s salary rises by 25%. Also suppose that the price of shoes and beers each rise by 40%. Construct Andre’s new budget constraint. What is the difference between the new and old budget constraints?

O $60 $0.50 An individual allocates $120 a month for spending on coffee and tea at their workplace. Using the budget constraint appearing above, the price of tea is: $1.50 60 $2 80 Tea
