Zac consumes only pizza and chianti. He consumes these goods in fixed proportions: 2 slices of pizza for one glass of chianti. His income is $100 per week. a. Derive demand functions forpizza and chianti. Are the goods normal or inferior, substitutes or complements? b. If pizza costs $1 per slice and chianti $3 per glass, how much of each good will he consume? c. If the price of pizza falls to $0.5 per slice and, chianti stays at $3 per glass, how much of each good will Zac consume? d. Using a suitably labelled diagram with pizza on the horizontal axis, illustrate the impact of the change in price of pizza from $1 to $0.5 per slice. Show the level of utility before and after the price change and show the decomposition line. Posted Date: 3/30/2013 6:14:55 AM | Location : United States
