Answer:
Income
Explanation:
Suppose the market wage for cashiers increases from $7 per hour to $9 per hour. As a result, Pat, who is a cashier, now works five more hours per week. On the other hand Chris, who is also a cashier, now works five fewer hours per week.Chris's behavior illustrates the <u>Income</u> effect of a wage increase.
As the income increases, few individual prefer to work fewer hours as now they are able to maintain target by working fewer than at previous wage rate. These people prefer leisure over higher income and want to settle down with limited income. These people may have a backward bending individual labour supply curve – they may choose to work fewer hours when the wage rate rises.
Answer:
The correct option is c. $8.
Explanation:
Ken will maximize utility where the following equation holds:
MU of Sprite / Price of Sprite = MU of potato chips / Price of potato chips ................. (1)
Where;
MU of Sprite = Marginal utility of Sprite = 3
Price of Sprite = $1 per can
From the table in the question, equation (1) holds at the point where Marginal utility of potato chips is 6 since the Potato chips cost $2 per bag.
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
MU of Sprite / Price of Sprite = MU of potato chips / Price of potato chips => 3 / 1 = 6 / 2 = 3
Since when the marginal utility of potato chips that maximizes utility is 6, Ken consumes 4 Bags of Potato chips monthly and pays $2 per bag at this point, the amount he spends on potato chips each month can be calculated as follows:
Amount spent on potato monthly = Number of bags of Potato chips consumed monthly * Cost of potato chips per bag = 4 * $2 = $8
Therefore, the correct option is c. $8.
