Question -

How does the budget line change if the consumer’s income increases to Rs 40 but the prices remain unchanged?



Answer -

M2 = Rs40

P1 = Rs 4

P2 = Rs 5

Initial equation of the budget line:

4x1 + 5x2 = 20

New equation of the budget line:

4x1 + 5x2 = 40

As M hasincreased, the consumer can now purchase more of both the goods and the budgetline will shift parallelly outwards to A’B’ from AB.

Horizontal intercept will be 

Vertical intercept will be 

The slope of the new budget line will be the same as thatof the old budget line.
