Suppose that a consumer’s preferences are well behaved in that properties 4-1-4-4 are satisfied and the initial equilibrium consumption bundle consists of 100 units of X and 50 units of Y. If PX increases such that the new equilibrium consumption bundle is 150 units of X and 75 units of Y, then goods X and Y are

Suppose that a consumer’s preferences are well behaved in that properties 4-1-4-4 are satisfied and the initial budget constraint is given by 300 = 2X + 4Y. At the initial budget constraint, this consumer purchases 100 units of good X and 25 units of good Y. Suppose the price of X increases to $4 per unit resulting in a new consumption bundle consisting of 60 units of X and 15 units of Y. Then, slope of the inverse demand for good X over this consumption range is
Suppose that consumers’ preferences are well behaved in that properties 4-1-4-4 are satisfied. Furthermore, assume that X is a normal good, Y is an inferior good and that the price of good Y decreases. Then, which of the following effect is known with certainty.

When the price of one good increases, the associated income effect is represented by a move from one indifference curve to a
Given that income is $300, the price of good Y is $15, and the price of good X is $20. What is the vertical intercept of the budget line?
Suppose earnings are given by E = $50 + $20(24 – L), where E is earnings and L is the hours of leisure. What is the price to the worker of consuming an additional hour of leisure?
The total earnings of a worker are represented by E = 150 + $12(24 – L), where E is earnings and L is the number of hours of leisure. How much will the worker earn if he takes 16 hours of leisure per day?
