A consumer consumes only two goods X and Y whose price are Rs 4 and Rs 5 per unit respectively. If the consumer choose a combination of the two goods with marginal utility of X equal to 5 and that of Y equal to 4, is the consumer in equilibrium ? Give reasons. what will a rational consumer do in this situation ? Use utility analysis. |
Answer» <html><body><p></p>Solution :Given `P_(x) = 4, P_(y) = 5 " and " MU_(x) = 5, MU_(y) = 4`. A consumer will be in equilibrium when `(MU_(x))/(P_(x)) = (MU_(y))/(P_(y))` <br/> Substituting values, we find that: <br/> `(5)/(4) gt (4)/(5) " or " (MU_(x))/(P_(x)) gt (MU_(y))/(P_(y))` <br/> Since per <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/rupee-1192322" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about RUPEE">RUPEE</a> `MU_(x)` is higher than per rupee `MU_(y)`, consumer is not in equilibrium. <br/> The consumer will buy more of `x` and less of `y`.

A consumer wants to consume two goods. The prices of the two goods are Rs 4 and Rs 5 respectively. The consumer's income is Rs 20 (i) Write down the equation of budget line. (ii) How much of good 1 can the consume, if she spends her entire income on that good ? (iii) How much of good 2 can she consume, if she spends her entire income on that good ? (iv) What is the slope of the budget line ? |
Answer» <html><body><p></p>Solution :Let the two goods be x and y <br/> given : Price of `x (P_(x)) = Rs 4`, Price of `y (P_(y)) = Rs 5`, Income of the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/consumer-25599" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CONSUMER">CONSUMER</a> = Rs 20.

It is measured as follows: <br/> Slope `= (-P_(1))/(P_(2)) = (-P_(X))/(P_(Y)) = -0.8`</body></html> | |

Answer» <html><body><p></p><a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/solution-25781" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SOLUTION">SOLUTION</a> :a) Demand curve under perfect competition: In case of perfect competition, there are very large no. of <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/buyers-906447" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BUYERS">BUYERS</a> and sellers <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/selling-25929" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SELLING">SELLING</a> a homogeneous product at a price fixed by the market. Therefore, each firm is a price taker and faces a perfectly elastic demand curve.b) Demand curve under monopolistic competition: Under monopolistic competition, large no. of firms selling closely related but differentiated products makes the demand curve downward sloping. It implies that a firm can sell more output only by reducing the price of its product.c) Demand curve under monopoly: A monopoly firm islike an industry as the single seller constitutes the entire market for the product, which has no close <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/substitutes-1231649" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SUBSTITUTES">SUBSTITUTES</a>. So, a monopolist has full freedom and power to fix price for the product. However, demand of the product is not in the control of monopoly firm. In <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/order-1138220" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ORDER">ORDER</a> to increase the output to be sold, the monopolist will have to reduce the price. Therefore, monopoly firm faces a downward sloping demandcurve.d) Demand curve under oligopoly: The demand curve for an oligopoly firm is indeterminate, i.e. it cannot be drawn accurately as exact behavior pattern of a producer cannot be ascertained with certainty.</body></html> | |
