Document Summary

To find the optimal consumption bundle, we look for the consumption bundle that. Optimal consumption bundle is found where: (cid:1871)(cid:1867)(cid:1868)(cid:1857) (cid:1867)(cid:1858) (cid:1866)(cid:1856)(cid:1858)(cid:1858)(cid:1857)(cid:1870)(cid:1857)(cid:1866)(cid:1855)(cid:1857) (cid:1855)(cid:1873)(cid:1870)(cid:1874)(cid:1857) = (cid:1844)(cid:1845) = The fall of a price of a good rotates the budget constraint outward which in turn increases the optimal number of both good a consumer can buy due to the income and substitution effects. The fall of a price in a good means the consumer can buy more goods, or that his income increased pizza and less gas. After ppizza falls, so as ppizza falls the consumer should buy more. The substitution effect is the change in consumption caused by a change in. The income effect is the change in consumption caused by the change in relative prices holding the consumer"s utility level constant purchasing power from a price change. Sub effect changed consumption from old optimum to h whereas inc effect changed consumption from h to new optimum.

To maximize utility, consumers choose a consumption bundle:

A. where the slope of the budget constraint is equal to the ratio of the good price on the horizontal axis divided by the price of the good on the vert axis (multiplied by minus one).

B. on the highest indifference curve given the budget constraint.

C. where indifference curves intersect one another.

D. where the marginal utility of each product is maximized.

E. where the slope of the highest indifference curve is equal to the marginal rate of substitution

Characterize utility maximization. When consumers maximize utility,

A. they consume each good up to the point where the marginal utility per dollar spent is the same for each good.

B. the marginal rate of substitution equals the price of the good on the horizontal axis divided by the price of the good on the vertical axis at the point of optimization.

C. the slope of the indifference curve equals the slope of the budget constraint at the point of optimization.

D. all of the above.
