(a) What is the price of good Y?
(b) What is the total income (expenditure) of the consumer?
(c) At point A, how many units of Good X is the consumer purchasing?
(d) If the consumer spends his entire income on good X, how much of X will he consume?
(e) Suppose that the budget line changes so that the consumer is at a new equilibrium at point
B. What change could have led to the rotation of the budget line in the manner shown above? Please explain.
2. (5 points) A stockholder named Sue must cast a vote for chair of the board. Sue prefers Mr. Lee to Ms. Doe, Ms. Doe to Mr. James, and Mr. James to Mr. Lee.

3. (5 points) In the above figure a consumer is initially at equilibrium at point C. The consumer’s income is $400, and the budget line through point C is given by $400 = 100X + 200Y. When the consumer is given a $100 gift certificate that is good only for product X, she moves to a new equilibrium point at point D.
(a) What are the prices of X and Y?
(b) How many units of product X will be purchased at point B? Please explain.
(c) How many units of Product X will be purchased at point F? Please explain.
