Students have asked these similar questions
Given the market price of a good, how does a consumer decide as to how many units of that good to buy? Explain
If the consumer is consuming exactly two goods, and she is always spending all of her money, can both of them be inferior goods?
Suppose that with a budget of $210, Fatima spends $126 on sushi and $84 on bagels when sushi costs $2 per piece and bagels cost
$2 per bagel. Then, after the price of bagels falls to $1 per bagel.
Instructions: Enter your answers as a whole number.
How many pieces of sushi and how many bagels did Fatima consume before the price change?
pieces of sushi and
bagels
At the new prices, how much money would it have cost Fatima to buy those same quantities (that is, the quantities that she consumed
before the price change)?
Given that it used to take Fatima's entire $210 to buy those quantities, how big is the income effect caused by the lower price of
bagels?

- Two students, Nick and Sofia, are discussing normal and inferior goods. Nick says that if Frodo buys more beer when the price of beer goes up, then beer must be an inferior good for Frodo. If, on the other hand, he buys less beer when the price of beer goes up, then beer must be a normal good for Frodo. Sofia disagrees: "Normal and inferior goods are about income changes, not price changes. Therefore, we do not have enough information: beer could be an inferior or normal good in either of these cases." Do you agree or disagree? Carefully explain your point of view. Support your argument with graphs of income, substitution and total effects (please put beer on the horizontal axis and the other goods on the vertical axis). Please assume that Frodo's preferences over beer and other goods are strictly convex and satisfy "more is better" assumption.arrow_forwardRefer to the graph below: Quantity of Y 160 B 200 X Quantity of X Why doesn't the consumer choose the combination at point A?arrow_forwardTrue or False?
