Question
Suppose that a budget equation is given by p1x1 + p2x2 = m. The government decides to impose a lump-sum tax of u, a quantity tax on good 1 of t, and a quantity subsidy on good 2 of s. What is the formula for the new budget line?

- Hugo likes computers (C) and video games (G) and has the following utility: U (C,G) = ln C + G(a) Suppose the price of each computer is pC = 1, the price of each game is pG = 1, and Hugo has income I = 20. Find the Marshallian demand for C and G.(b) Find Hugo’s indirect utility at the above price and income.(c) Suppose the government imposes a tax of 1 dollar on video games.

- True/False? Briefly explain. Assume good x is a normal good. In terms of consumer behavior, a cash grant and a small (relative to the initial consumption of x) limited non-matching grant on good x (with the limit that is equal to the cash grant) are essentially equivalent.arrow_forwardif we take examples and suppose there are 2 products, milk and yoghurt, and if the milk is rationed for people by government, how can we understand the satisfaction maximization choice with the indifference curve and budget linearrow_forward1) The equation that economists use to measure the utility from a bundle of goods is called the budget constraint a) true b) falsearrow_forward
