Question

For m > p2, the demand functions for goods 1 and 2 are given by the equations, x1 =m/p2 - 1 and x2 = p1/p2, where m is income and p1 and p2 are prices. Let the horizontal axis represent the quantity of good 1. Let p1 = 1 and p2 = 2. Then for m > 2, the income offer curve is:a. a vertical line.b. a horizontal line.c. a straight line with slope 2.d. a straight line with a slope of 1/2.e. None of the above.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B is correct.

A horizontal line

Explanation:

Then for m > 2 , the income offer curve would be a horizontal line.

Income offer curve define as the curve which depicts the optimal choice of two goods at different levels of income at constant price. It is otherwise known as "Income Expansion Path"
