Two students, Nick and Sofia, are discussing normal and inferior goods. Nick says that if Frodo buys more beer when the price of beer goes up, then beer must be an inferior good for Frodo. If, on the other hand, he buys less beer when the price of beer goes up, then beer must be a normal good for Frodo. Sofia disagrees: "Normal and inferior goods are about income changes, not price changes. Therefore, we do not have enough information: beer could be an inferior or normal good in either of these cases." Do you agree or disagree? Carefully explain your point of view. Support your argument with graphs of income, substitution and total effects (please put beer on the horizontal axis and the other goods on the vertical axis). Please assume that Frodo's preferences over beer and other goods are strictly convex and satisfy "more is better" assumption.
The following graph shows Hilary's weekly demand for cheesecake, represented by the blue line. Point A represents a point along her weekly demand curve. The market price of cheesecake is $3.00 per slice, as shown by the horizontal black line From the previous graph, you can tell that Hilary is willing to pay $_______ for her 8th slice of cheesecake each week. Because she has to pay only$3.00 per slice, the consumer surplus she gains from the 8th slice of cheesecake is $_______. Suppose the price of cheesecake were to fall to $2.25 per slice. At this lower price, Hilary would receive a consumer surplus of $_______.from the 8th slice of cheesecake she buys.The following graph shows the weekly market demand for cheesecake in a small economy. Use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing consumer surplus when the price (P) of cheesecake is $3.00 per slice. Then, use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing additional consumer surplus when the…

why does a substitution between goods cause a negative slope on a demand curve?
Angela and Vanessa are two friend who always eat ice cream together. The regular price of ice cream is $1 per spoon. Angela always orders 3 spoons and Vanessa orders 5 spoons. Every Tuesday, the ice cream is 50% off. Angela orders 6 spoons and Vanessa order 7 spoons on Tuesday. Which of the following statement is incorrect? O The total quantity of ice cream demanded by Angela and Vanessa increased by 5 on every Tuesday. O Angela's individual demand curve has a downward sloping. O The promotion on every Tuesday shift out the demand curve. O Vanessa's individual demand curve isn't same as Angela's.

Jake allocates his budget of $24 per week among three goods. Use the following table of marginal utilities for good A, good B, and good C to answer the questions below. If the price of A is $2, the price of B is $3, and the price of C is $1, how much of each does Jake purchase in equilibrium ?If the price of A rises to $4 while other prices in Jake’s budget remain unchanged, how much does he purchase in equilibrium? Using the information from parts (a) and (b), draw the demand curve for good A. Be sure to indicate the price and quantity demanded for each point on the curve.
