Suppose that Tara’s endowment is (100,25), good x is the numéraire, and py=13. What is the y-intercept of Stefani’s budget line?

Solutions

Expert Solution

The budget line is given as follows:

X*Px + Y*Py = 100*Px + 25*Py

=> X*1 + Y*13 = 100*1 + 25*13 (since X is the numeraire good => Px = 1)

=> X + 13Y = 425

Inn order to find the Y intercept, we put X = 0

=> 13Y = 425

=> Y = 425/13 = 32.69

What is the endowment effect? A. People place a higher value on a good if they own it than they do if they are considering buying it. B. Wealthier individuals place greater value on a particualr good relative to poorer individuals. C. People place a higher value on goods that they want relative to similar goods that they own. D. The more you have of a good, the less value you place on consuming additional units of that same good.

Suppose a consumer has preferences given by U(X,Y) = MIN[2X,Y]. Suppose PX = 1 and PY = 2. Draw the Income Consumption Curve for this consumer for income values • M = 100 • M = 200 • M = 300 To do this, carefully draw the budget constraints associated with each of the prices for good X, and indicate the bundle that the consumer chooses in each case. Also, be sure to label your graph accurately.
