1.Assuming that consumption during youth and old age are both normal goods, how does a rise in the interest rate affect the amount saved?

2.What happens to the budget line if both income and prices double simultaneously?

3.Based on Exhibit 4, assume a consumer has €100 to spend and must decide between purchasing socks or belts. How would you classify a pair of socks in this scenario?

4.Refer to Exhibit 4. Assume a consumer is deciding between purchasing socks and belts, with an income of €100. If the price of socks decreases from €5 to €2 per pair, which movement illustrates the substitution effect?

6.Consider a graph where the quantity of good X is represented on the x-axis and the quantity of good Y on the y-axis. If the indifference curves are concave toward the origin, how does the marginal rate of substitution of good Y for good X (the slope of the indifference curve) change as we move from a situation with a large amount of good X to one with a large amount of good Y?

7.At what point does a consumer achieve the optimal combination of two goods?

8.What is the name given to the slope at any point along an indifference curve?

17.Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding the typical characteristics of indifference curves?

18.A consumer is deciding how many pizzas and sandwiches to buy. If the quantity of pizza is represented on the x-axis and the quantity of sandwiches on the y-axis, with the price of one pizza being Rs 10 and one sandwich costing Rs 5, what is the slope of the consumer's budget line?

19.What is the shape of indifference curves when dealing with perfect substitutes?

20.What term describes the restriction on the set of consumption combinations a consumer is able to purchase?
