The market price of a good changes from Rs 5 to Rs 20. As a result, the quantity supplied by a firm increases by 15 units. The price elasticity of the firm’s supply curve is 0.5. Find the initial and final output levels of the firm.

(i) Write down the equation of the budget line.
(ii) How much of good 1 can the consumer consume if she spends her entire
income on that good?
(iii) How much of good 2 can she consume if she spends her entire income on
that good?
(iv) What is the slope of the budget line?

What is budget line?

Suppose there are 20 consumers for a good and they have identical demand functions:

What do you understand by positive economic analysis?

What do you mean by the production possibilities of an economy?

but the price of good 1 and the consumer’s income remain unchanged?

If a consumer has monotonic preferences, can she be indifferent between the
bundles (10, 8) and (8, 6)?

Suppose the price elasticity of demand for a good is – 0.2. How will the expenditure on the good be affected if there is a 10 % increase in the price of the good?
