Joon has preferences over two goods only-beer and pizza, both of which he loves. His initial budget line goes through bundles A and B; he chooses A. When prices change such that he faces budget line through bundles B and D, Joon chooses B. Qpizza a f b B h g D I Qbeer We want to determine which bundles are better for Joon than bundle B and which bundles are worse. For each of the areas on the graph, labeled from (a) to (j) we can say, given the information provided, that

. Brady, who has ordinary-shaped indifference curves, buys 16ounces of salt each year. Even when the price of salt doubles,Brady continues to purchase exactly 16 ounces. a. Use indifference curves and budget constraints to depictBrady’s behavior graphically. Put salt on the horizontal axisand a composite good on the vertical axis.

Suppose a consumer buys only two goods x and y and spends her entire income on these teo goods. She must first but some fixed quantity y before she buys any amount of x. After purchasing y; what matters is the quantity of x only and utility will increase only by buying more x. Please Draw the indifference curves. * Please draw the indifference curves as the solution*
You consume only soda and pizza. One day, the priceof soda goes up, the price of pizza goes down, andyou are just as happy as you were before the pricechanges.a. Illustrate this situation on a graph.b. How does your consumption of the two goodschange? How does your response depend onincome and substitution effects?c. Can you afford the bundle of soda and pizza youconsumed before the price changes?
Gopal is a rational consumer and consumes two goods X and Y. Is a cardinal measureof utility or satisfaction necessary in order to sketch a set of indifference curves? Whatare the main characteristics of indifference curves? On the same set of axis draw threeindifference curves showing increasing marginal rate of substitution as we move downthe indifference curve. Please answer it in little more detail as it is descriptive
