Answer: none of the above.

Explanation:

The Engle curve shows the relationship that takes place between the income of a consumer and the quantity of a particular good purchased.

From the question we are informed that the income consumption curve between good x and good y has a negative slope, this implies that good Y is an inferior good and that it has a negative income elasticity.

Also, since the Engle curve of good X has a positive slope, it implies that good X is a normal good.

Therefore, the answer to the question is "none of the above" as all options are true.

-Dominant- [34]

A supply curve is a graphic representation of the relationship the cost of a good or service and the quantity that is supplied of it has. A common graphical representation has price on the left vertical axis and the quantity supplied on the horizontal axis. Different changes in the production or cost of a good or service can have an affect on the supply curve.

Harmonâs utility function is U(x1, x2) = x1x2. His income is 100 dollars. The price of good 2 is p2 = 4. Good 1 is priced as fol
Sav [38]

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

U(x1, x2) = x1x2

Income = 100 dollars

Therefore,

Alex budget constraint is $100.

(a) (12.5, 12.5)

Cost of this bundle = 12.5 × $4 +  12.5 × $4

                                = $50 + $50

                                = $100

(b) (25, 12.5)

Cost of this bundle = 15 × $4 + 10 × $5 +  12.5 × $4

                                = $60 + $50 + $50

                                = $160

This bundle is not possible because of budget constraint.

(c) (12.5, 25)

Cost of this bundle = 12.5 × $4 +  25 × $4

                                = $50 + $100

                                = $150

This bundle is not possible because of budget constraint.

(d) (15, 10)

Cost of this bundle = 15 × $4 +  10 × $4

                                = $60 + $40

                                = $100

Hence, it is possible to buy bundle (a) and (d).

Utility function for (a) and (d) bundle:

(a) (12.5, 12.5)

Utility = 12.5 × 12.5

          = 156.25

(d) (15, 10)

Utility = 15 × 10

          = 150

Therefore,

Alex will choose bundle (a) (12.5, 12.5) because this will give maximum utility.
