When and economist says the demand, for a product has increases, he or she mean that a) consumers are willing and able to purchase more at any given price. b) the demand curve has shifted to the left c) The product has become more scarce and consumers therefore want it more d)Consumers would be willing and able to pay less to recieve the same quantity. e)The price has decreased and consumers will therefore purhcase more of the product

Good Y 20 Each week, Mary Selects the quantity of two goods, X and Y that she will consume in order to maximize her utility. She spends her entire weekly income on these two goods. Suppose you are given the following information about a three-week period, the choices that Mary makes over Where Px is the price of good X, Py is the price of good Y, and I is income: Week 1 Week 2 مل ۳۰ رم Week 3 is 7 Hi▬▬▬▬t da.

Please derive mathematically the condition for consumer equilibrium then give a short intuitive on why you came up with that answer. Thank you

5. Janice consumes two goods, X and Y. Janice has a utility function given by the expression: U=4X05Y05 and current prices of X and Y are $25 and $50, respectively. Janice currently has an income of 750 unit per time period. a. Write an expression for Janice's budget constraint. b. Calculate the marginal rate of substitution of X for Y. (horizontal line X, vertical line Y). c. Calculate the values of X and Y that will maximize utility. d. Graph your answers (budget line, indifference curve)

If we have money, we buy goods and services to satisfy our needs. In economics, thesatisfaction that we get from the consumption of goods and services is called utility. Usea utility graph to explain what happen to the utility when you keep on increasing thenumber of units consumed. Also explain what happens to the utility when you keep onincreasing the number of units consumed. Also explain what happens to the additionalutility (i.e. additional satisfaction) when you increase your consumption by one unit

KAMVA 489 Time Remaining: 02:54:13 Hide Time Remaining A Suppose the weighted marginal utility for two goods, x and y, at a position of consumer equilibrium is 70. If the price of good x is R10 and the relevant marginal utility for y is 140, what is the price of good y and the relevant marginal utility for good x? A. The price of y = R70; the marginal utility for x = 70 %3D B. The price of y = R2; the marginal utility for x = 700 C. The price of y = R10; the marginal utility for x = 700 D. The price of y = R2; the marginal utility for x = 140 E. The price of y = R140; the marginal utility for x = 70 Reset Selection |54 II

Demonstrate how a consumer’s equilibrium changes if the price of a product changesaccording to marginal utility theory. Include in your answer a discussion of the derivation of the demand curve according to marginal utility theory. Please provide a detailed answer with a graph if possible.

For normal goodsA) the substitution effect of a price decrease will decrease the quantity of the good demanded while theincome effect of a price decrease will increase the quantity of the good demanded.B) the substitution and income effects of a price decrease will both increase the quantity of the gooddemanded.C) the substitution and income effects of a price decrease will both decrease the quantity of the gooddemanded.D) the substitution effect of a price decrease will increase the quantity of the good demanded while theincome effect of a price decrease will decrease the quantity of the good demanded.

Why does a change in income cause a parallel shift in the budget constraint?
