. Brady, who has ordinary-shaped indifference curves, buys 16ounces of salt each year. Even when the price of salt doubles,Brady continues to purchase exactly 16 ounces. a. Use indifference curves and budget constraints to depictBrady’s behavior graphically. Put salt on the horizontal axisand a composite good on the vertical axis.

3. We claimed in the text that if preferences were monotonic, then a diag- onal line through the origin would intersect each indifference curve exactly once. Can you prove this rigorously? (Hint: what would happen if it intersected some indifference curve twice?)
I like drinking Smirnoff and Stoli Vodka, but I really only careabout the total amount of alcohol I get out of it. They areperfect substitutes. Smirnoff is sold in liter bottles that are100 proof (that’s 50% alcohol). Stoli is sold in liter bottlesthat are 80 proof (40% alcohol). What is my utility functionfor bundles of these two vodkas? What do my indifferencecurves look like?
Joon has preferences over two goods only-beer and pizza, both of which he loves. His initial budget line goes through bundles A and B; he chooses A. When prices change such that he faces budget line through bundles B and D, Joon chooses B. Qpizza a f b B h g D I Qbeer We want to determine which bundles are better for Joon than bundle B and which bundles are worse. For each of the areas on the graph, labeled from (a) to (j) we can say, given the information provided, that

THE MARGINAL RULE 124 in each of the following questions, sketch a plausible set of indiffer- ence curves (that is, draw at least two curves, and indicate the direc- tion of higher utility). (a) Nomis enjoys muffins (x) and chai latte (y) if they are consumed together. (b) Tra likes chocolate (x) but he hates broccoli (y). (c) Aras likes steaks (x) but she doesn't care one way or the other about apples (y). (d) Fernando always buys five Polo-shirts (x) with every pair of jeans (y).
You consume only soda and pizza. One day, the priceof soda goes up, the price of pizza goes down, andyou are just as happy as you were before the pricechanges.a. Illustrate this situation on a graph.b. How does your consumption of the two goodschange? How does your response depend onincome and substitution effects?c. Can you afford the bundle of soda and pizza youconsumed before the price changes?
