Imagine that there are only three consumers in a particular market for apples:
Andrew, John and Michael. We are interested in the demand for apples. The
demand equations for the three consumers are as follows:
Andrew: Qd = 10 - 2P
John: Qd= 8 - P
Michael: Qd = 14 - 2P
If the price of apples is R3/kg, how much would the demand for the market as a
whole be?
a. 32
b. 27
c. 22
d. 17

curve
pattern is graphed by …
a. drawing a new budget line parallel to the initial budget line but tangent to
the
indifferent curve attained at the new price.
b. doing none of the above because the substitution effect cannot be
graphed.
c. drawing a new budget line tangent to the indifference curve attained at
the new
price.
d. drawing a new budget line tangent to the original indifference curve but
at the slope
of the new price of the good.
