You are the manager of a midsized company that assembles personal computers. You purchase most components—such as random access

memory (RAM)—in a competitive market. Based on your marketing research, consumers earning over $80,000 purchase 1.5 times more RAM than consumers with lower incomes.
1. One morning, you pick up a copy of The Wall Street Journal and read an article indicating that input components for RAM are expected to rise in price, forcing manufacturers to produce RAM at a higher unit cost. Based on this information, what can you expect to happen to the price you pay for random access memory?
2. Would your answer change if, in addition to this change in RAM input prices, the article indicated that consumer incomes are expected to fall over the next two years as the economy dips into recession? Explain.

Since the company is a mid sized company, with the increase in the price of the inputs of the RAM, the price of the RAM will definitely increase.

<u>Explanation:</u>

1) Since the price of the inputs of a particular good are one of the most important factors which determine the price of the goods, so with the increase in the inputs of the price of the inputs of the good, the price of the good will increase.

2) With the fall in the income of the consumer, the expenditure of the consumer will also decrease. So the demand of the RAM will fall because of two reasons a) increase in the price of RAM and 2) with the fall in the income of the consumer.

It is common for supermarkets to carry both generic (store-label) and brand-name (producer-label) varieties of sugar and other p
dsp73

Answer:

a. Do these preferences exhibit a diminishing marginal rate of substitution?

  • no, because the consumer is actually purchasing a higher amount of goods, the only difference is that they are paying a lower price.

Assume that this consumer has $24 of income to spend on sugar, and the price of store-brand sugar is $1 per pound and the price of producer-brand sugar is $3 per pound.

  • The consumer will purchase 24 pounds of price of store sugar simply because the price is much lower, not because he/she wants to consume less. Actually a lower price might result in an increase of consumption.

b. How much of each type of sugar will be purchased?

  • If the consumer is willing to spend the whole $24 on sugar, he/she will purchase 24 pounds of store brand sugar. The alternative is to buy 8 pounds of producer brand sugar, and that is not a good deal.

c. How would your answer change if the price of store-brand sugar was $2 per pound and the price of producer-brand sugar was $3 per pound?

  • The consumer would purchase 12 pounds of store brand sugar instead of 24, but he/she will still not purchase producer brand sugar since the difference in price is still too high. Remember that consumers view both types of sugar as perfect substitutes, so they will purchase the brand with the lower price.
