Consider the following diagram r2 must be nonesmallergreater
Consider the following diagram
r2 must be (none/smaller/greater/income/substitution/saver/borrower) than r1.
At r1, the consumer is a (none/smaller/greater/income/substitution/saver/borrower).
Going from D to B is the (none/smaller/greater/income/substitution/saver/borrower) effect, while going from A to D is the (none/smaller/greater/income/substitution/saver/borrower) effect.
In this example, the income effect on c\' is (none/smaller/greater/income/substitution/saver/borrower) than the substitution effect.
Solution
1. The correct answer is: greater
Reason: as the budget line gets steeper, r2 must be greater than r1.
2. The correct answer is: borrower.
Reason: As at r1, the present consumption at point A is much greater than the endowment at point E
3. The correct answer is: income
Reason: As this is a movement from one budget line to another budget line along two different indifference curves.
4. The correct answer is: substitution
Reason: As this is movement from one budget line to another along the same indifference curve.
5. The correct answer is: greater
Reason: As ultimately at r2, the present consumption i.e. c\' reduces.
Thanks!
