Question -

Suppose a consumer wants to consume two goods that are available only in integer units. The two goods are equally priced at Rs 10 and the consumer’s income is Rs 40.




Answer -

(i) Write down all the bundles that are available to the consumer.
(ii) Among the bundles that are available to a consumer, identify those that cost will him/her exactly Rs 40.

Answer

(i) P1 = Rs 10

P2 = Rs 10

M = Rs 40

Budget set  P1x1 + P2x2 ≤ M

10x1 + 10x2 ≤ 40

The bundles that areavailable to the consumer should cost less than or equal to Rs 40.
