- A basket of goods for a given consumer includes two goods, X and Z. Consumer income is equal to $1,500 and the prices of these two goods are as follows: P= $20 P, = $25 This consumer is consuming 10 units of good X. Suppose that over the course of a year, the price of good X changes by 10% and the price of good Z changes by - 10%. How much income would be required for the consumer to afford the same quantity of goods X and Z with the new prices?

She has an income of $400 per month. The price of food is initially $1.00 per unit. It then rises to $1.20 per unit. The prices of other goods do not change. To help Julie out, her mother offers to send her a check each month to supplement her income. Julie tells her mother, “Thanks, Mom. If you would send me a check for $50 per month, I would be exactly as happy paying $1.20 per unit as I would have been paying $1.00 per unit and not receiving the $50 from you.” Which of the following statements is true? Explain. The increased price of food has:a) an income effect of +$50 per monthb) an income effect of -$50 per month c) a compensating variation of +$50 per monthd) a compensating variation of -$50 per monthe) an equivalent variation of +$50 per monthf ) an equivalent variation of -$50 per montharrow_forward
