- A basket of goods for a given consumer includes two goods, X and Z. Consumer income is equal to $200 and the prices of these two goods are as follows: Px = $20 Pz = $25. Suppose that over the course of a year, the price of good X increases by 150% and the price of good Z decreases by 50%. Use the line drawing tool to show this change in prices by drawing a new budget constraint for the same level of income. Label this line 'L²₁. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required object. Using the income ratio and the consumption bundle R shown in the diagram to the right, what is the rate of inflation?%.

The following diagram shows two of Megan's indifference curves for going to ballgames and symphonies. With Megan's initial budget constraint (BC), she chose to go to five symphonies and three baseball games per month (point X). Then her budget constraint shifted to BC, and she chose to go to four symphonies and six ballgames per month (point Y), SEOTING 2 4 SYMPHONIES BCarrow_forwardJody has $360 to spend on her summer vacation.
