14. Determinants of Supply and Demand Consider the market for electric cars. Assume electric cars are a normal good. For each of the following events, identify which of the determinants of demand or supply are affected. If demand is unaffected by this event because it creates only a supply change, select the "None" option under the "Demand Determinant column. Similarly, if supply is unaffected by this event because it creates only a demand change, select the "None" option under the "Supply Determinant" column. Event Demand Determinant Supply Determinant Engineers develop new automated machinery for the production of electric cars. People increase their concern for the environment. An economic boom raises people's wealth. A strike by aluminum workers raises the price of aluminum. The price of gas-powered cars falls. Show the effect of the following event on the market for electric cars: Engineers develop new automated machinery for the production of electric cars. Supply Demand Supply…
4. URGENT Given that maximize utility of two goods, x and y, is where MUx/Px=MUy/Py MUx/MUy=Px/Py , where MU is marginal utility, and P is price. a. Explain what happens to the marginal utility of x, when more of x is consumed. b. Explain what a rational person should do when MUx/Px>MUy/Py , and how each MU, and MU/P changes or not. c. Graph and explain the intercepts and the slope of the budget line (constraint) when the budget is 100 and the price of x is 5 and the price of y is 4. d. Graph and explain an indifference curve that is tangent to a budget line. This is a general graph with no numbers.

7 Asen tries to minimize his cost of using two goods x subscript 1 end subscript and x subscript 2 end subscript. The price of the first good is BGN 12 and the second good BGN 8. His utility function is x subscript 1 superscript 3 divided by 5 end superscript x subscript 2 superscript 2 divided by 5 end superscript and the utility he will get from using both goods, is 32 units. Find the Hicks quantities demanded and what Assen's minimum budget must be to consume these quantities and obtain the above utility. e-412, h2=21, h1=21 e=416, h2=21, h1=21 e=640, h1=32, h2=32 e=422, h2=21, h1=21 e=378, h2=21, h1=21 e-378, h2=20, h1=20 another answer e-378, h2=24, h1=24
