Use a coordinate system with ice cream measured on the horizontal axis and chocolate on vertical one to illustrate your preferences by plotting indifference curves if a) you like both ice cream and chocolate a lot. b) You like ice cream, but you hate chocolate c) You like ice cream, but you do not care (you are indifferent) about the chocolate

Q. 1. (i) Joan likes chocolate cake and ice-cream but after having 10 lices of cake, eating more cake makes her less happy. Joan always ants more ice-cream to less Draw and explain the shape of the difference curve depicting her preferences. Take ice-cream on the horizontal axis. (ii) A consumer always purchases at least 4 units of good X. He pays price p up till 17 units, then he must pay 10% more on each additional it. Taking the other good as the numeraire: (a) Set up the equation of the budget constraint. (b) Graphically show the budget set.

00:01 So here let's sketch some difference curves, right? for the first one, we're going to put, what is it, ice cream on the vertical, on the horizontal axis and chocolate on the vertical one.
00:16 Here we like these things both a lot.
00:18 So remember, an indifference curve shows us how happy we are, right? so we like these things both a lot.
00:24 My indifference curves look normal, right? these would be like big numbers, though, right? that that actually means anything.
00:34 But here, both of these goods, getting more of both brings you to higher levels of utility, right? more equals more utility.
00:44 As i get more of one good, right? let's suppose that i start here.
00:49 As i get more of one good, i grow in utility.
00:52 As i get more of another good, i grow in utility.
00:55 So when you like both goods, that is what gives you normal looking indifference curves that are sort of convex to the origin.
01:05 Now, so a, you have normal goods.
01:09 B is where it gets a little bit exciting...
