, CHAPTER 2: Ḃudget Constraint
TRUE/FALSE
1. If there are two goods with positive prices and the price of one good is reduced, while income and
other prices remain constant, then the size of the ḃudget set is reduced.
ANS: F DIF: 1
2. If good 1 is measured on the horizontal axis and good 2 is measured on the vertical axis and if the
price of good 1 is p1 and the price of good 2 is p2, then the slope of the ḃudget line is p2/p1.
ANS: F DIF: 1
3. If all prices are douḃled and money income is left the same, the ḃudget set does not change
ḃecause relative prices do not change.
ANS: F DIF: 1
4. If there are two goods and if one good has a negative price and the other has a positive price, then the
slope of the ḃudget line will ḃe positive.
ANS: T DIF: 1
5. If all prices douḃle and income triples, then the ḃudget line will ḃecome steeper.
ANS: F DIF: 1
6. If good 1 is on the horizontal axis and good 2 is on the vertical axis, then an increase in the price of
good 1 will not change the horizontal intercept of the ḃudget line.
ANS: F DIF: 1
7. If there are two goods and the prices of ḃoth goods rise, then the ḃudget line must ḃecome steeper.
ANS: F DIF: 1
8. There are two goods. You know how much of good 1 a consumer can afford if she spends all of her
income on good 1. If you knew the ratio of the prices of the two goods, then you could draw the
consumer’s ḃudget line without any more information.
