Question

2. Suppose that an individual consumes transportation (T) and all other goods (G). Assume that the price of G is $p_g$, the price of transportation is $p_t$, and Y is income. (a) If this consumer spends all of her income on transportation, how much could she buy? How much G could she buy if all of her income were spent on G? How would you answer this question if her income per period were $250, $p_g = $1$, and $p_t = $3.00? (b) Depict the consumer's equilibrium consumption of G and T and identify the equilibrium condition. (c) With the use of indifference curves and budget lines, demonstrate that an increase in the price of transportation will reduce the household's consump- tion of transportation. Can we predict what will happen to a consumer's level of economic welfare? (d) Suppose that transportation is an inferior good. Graphically demonstrate the effect on G and T from an increase in per period incomes.

          2. Suppose that an individual consumes transportation (T) and all other goods
(G). Assume that the price of G is $p_g$, the price of transportation is $p_t$, and Y is
income.
(a) If this consumer spends all of her income on transportation, how much could
she buy? How much G could she buy if all of her income were spent on G?
How would you answer this question if her income per period were $250,
$p_g = $1$, and $p_t = $3.00?
(b) Depict the consumer's equilibrium consumption of G and T and identify the
equilibrium condition.
(c) With the use of indifference curves and budget lines, demonstrate that an
increase in the price of transportation will reduce the household's consump-
tion of transportation. Can we predict what will happen to a consumer's
level of economic welfare?
(d) Suppose that transportation is an inferior good. Graphically demonstrate the
effect on G and T from an increase in per period incomes.

2. Suppose that an individual consumes transportation (T) and all other goods
(G). Assume that the price of G is pg, the price of transportation is pt, and Y is
income.
(a) If this consumer spends all of her income on transportation, how much could
she buy? How much G could she buy if all of her income were spent on G?
How would you answer this question if her income per period were 250,pg = 1, and pt =3.00?
(b) Depict the consumer's equilibrium consumption of G and T and identify the
equilibrium condition.
(c) With the use of indifference curves and budget lines, demonstrate that an
increase in the price of transportation will reduce the household's consump-
tion of transportation. Can we predict what will happen to a consumer's
level of economic welfare?
(d) Suppose that transportation is an inferior good. Graphically demonstrate the
effect on G and T from an increase in per period incomes.
