T/F/U: In 2018 you buy a basket of goods (Qx18, Qy18). In 2019 you buy a basket of goods (Qx19, Qy19). Suppose the 2019 basket costs more, at 2018 prices (Px18, Py18), than the basket you actually bought in 2018. If all prices change proportionally then you are better off in 2019. (Hint: write down the actual expenditure in 2018, then the expenditure you would have to pay to buy your 2019 basket at 2018 prices, and draw those as budget lines on a graph).

Expert Solution

Answer: True.

It's given that prices have changed proportionately. So, with the constant income, both the prices have fallen making the individual better off in 2019.

[In 2019, the individual buys a basket that costs more in 2018 than the basket he bought in 2018. With no change in the individual's income, this can happen only when both the prices fall.]

Suppose the following table shows information on the market basket for the CSPI and the prices of each of the goods in 2017, 2018, and 2019

1. Calculating inflation using a simple price index Consider a fictional price index, the College Student Price Index (CSPI), based on a typical college student's annual purchases. Suppose the following table shows information on the market basket for the CSPI and the prices of each of the goods in 2017, 2018, and 2019. The cost of each item in the basket and the total cost of the basket are shown for 2017. Perform these same calculations for 2018 and 2019, and enter the...

T/F/U. You purchased a $200 furniture piece from a no-name website. It never arrives and the site will not send you a new one. You are out $200. You really need this furniture piece, however, and so you take the hit and decide to spend another $200 to get the furniture piece. The income effect will be LARGER than your substitution effect. Draw and explain a graph that comports with your answer. Your graph needn’t have numbers on the axii,...
