Math Problem Statement
Redraw the graph in slide 4 in your answer (including all its parts) and illustrate the effect of a drop in the consumer’s income, assuming that the optimal bundle is interior. Clearly indicate which budget lines and optimal bundles correspond to the new and old income. Is x an inferior good for a utility function whose indifference curves have the properties illustrated in the figure? Is y an inferior good for a utility function whose indifference curves have the properties ilustrated in the figure? (5 marks)
