A) The indifference curves for $5 bills and $10 bills will be:
a. L-shaped b. A straight line with a negative slope c. A straight line with a positive slope d. cocave
B) Sue is choosing between wine and cheese. The price of wine is $10 and the price of cheese is $5. If Sue's current marginal rate of substitution is 1, and if wine is on the horizontal axis and cheese is on the vertical axis then Sue is purchasing
a. Too much cheese b. Just the right amount of both goods c. Too much wine d. More than what her income would allow
C) For the demand function P=20-2Q
a. Demand is inelastic at price 16 b. unitary elasticity occurs at price 2 c. total revenue is maximized at price 12 d. demand is elastic at price 12
I think A) is b. because they are substitutes but I'm unsure because I know you'll need twice as many $5 bills to make up for the $10 billsbut I don't know if that makes a difference in this situation.
I think B) is c. And I think C) is d. just because it looks like the right answer but I'd like to see the work on it to show how to get to the right answer regardless.
