Draw an indifference curve that is tangent to the new budget
constraint, and label the worker’s new choice of labor/leisure, and
new total earnings, at a point that appears reasonable given convex
preferences.
Draw an indifference curve and budget constraint picture where
individuals allocate their time between consumption in dollars
based on earnings in the labor market and leisure/home production.
Given your drawing, label the optimal consumption levels of market
goods and leisure/home production. Show the effect of tax on labor
earnings. Draw your picture consistent with a small income effect
and a large substitution effect.
For each of the following, draw the indifference curves and
budget constraint, and find the utility maximizing demands.
Remember, don’t plug in the given prices and income until the
end.
u(x1,x2)=(x1)^2(x2), (p1,p2,m)=(1,2,10)
Draw and label a budget constraint and show it changing due
to:
A. An increase in income
B. A decrease in the price of the good on the horizontal
axis.
At an interior optimum, a consumer’s indifference curve must be
tangent to her budget line for all preferences including perfect
complements, substitutes and quasilinear preferences.
True
False
Define the concepts of utility, indifference curve, and budget
constraint. Discuss how these concepts relate to consumer
choice.
Explain the following concepts: demand schedule, demand curve,
supply schedule, supply curve. Then, list the determinants of
demand and explain how a change in each determinant affects the
demand curve. Do the same for the supply.

For each of the following, use the budget
constraint/indifference curve diagram to show what happens to the
demand curve for good X:
*note: each question requires two graphs -- one showing the
indifference curves and one showing the demand curves
a) A change in preferences that favors good Y over good X.
b) An increase in the price of a substitute for good Y when good
Y is a normal good
c) An increase in the price of a substitute...
