1

Two commodities equilibrium under the equi-marginal utility rule: MUx = 24 utils, Px = ₹3; MUy = 20 utils, Py = ₹4. What is MUx/Px and MUy/Py, and does the consumer reach equilibrium?

2

A consumer has ₹24 to spend on goods X and Y. Px = ₹2 and Py = ₹3. If the consumer buys 6 units of X and 4 units of Y, what total amount is spent and is the budget fully used?

3

For a single commodity, MU in money terms is 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, and -2 units for the first seven units. If the price is ₹2 per unit, at which quantity is consumer equilibrium reached and what is the total utility at that point?

4

A consumer has income of ₹100. Px = ₹20 and Py = ₹10. What are the maximum quantities of X and Y that can be bought separately, and what is the budget line equation?

Sample Questions

1multiple choice
3 marks

In an indifference schedule, Geeta has bundles: 1 food and 12 clothing; 2 food and 8 clothing; 3 food and 5 clothing. What is the total clothing given up to obtain the third unit of food, and what is the diminishing MRS pattern?

Show answer

7 clothing units in total; MRS falls from 4 to 3

From 1 to 2 food, Geeta gives up 4 clothing. From 2 to 3 food, she gives up 3 clothing. Total clothing given up to reach 3 food is 7 units, and MRS falls from 4 to 3.

For a good, TU is 10, 18, 24, 28, 30, 30, and 28 for the first seven units. What are the marginal utilities of the 2nd, 5th, 6th, and 7th units?

Show answer

8, 2, 0, and -2 units of utility

MU is the change in TU. So MU2 = 18 - 10 = 8, MU5 = 30 - 28 = 2, MU6 = 30 - 30 = 0, and MU7 = 28 - 30 = -2.

A consumer spends ₹24 on X and Y. Px = ₹2, Py = ₹3. The marginal utilities are MUx = 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10 for X and MUy = 24, 21, 18, 15, 12, 9 for Y. Which bundle gives equilibrium?

Show answer

6 units of X and 4 units of Y

Compute per rupee utility: MUx/Px = 10 at 1 unit, 9 at 2 units, ..., 5 at 6 units. MUy/Py = 8, 7, 6, 5, ... The equality occurs at MUx/Px = 5 for 6 units of X and MUy/Py = 5 for 4 units of Y.

A consumer's budget line shifts rightward when income rises from ₹100 to ₹120. If Px = ₹20 and Py = ₹10 remain unchanged, what are the new maximum quantities of X and Y, and why does the line remain parallel?

Show answer

6 units of X and 12 units of Y; because the price ratio stays the same

New maxima are 120/20 = 6 units of X and 120/10 = 12 units of Y. The budget line remains parallel because the price ratio Px/Py does not change.
