IV. ESSAY

1. Confronted with the choice between two alternative combination of goods and services, A and B, a consumer will respond in one of three ways

- A is prefer over B

- B is prefer over A

- A and B is indifferent, they liked equally

2. a. Budget constraint is the limits imposed on household choices by income, wealth, and product prices.

Equation: Px . X + Py. Y = I

X = quantity of X consumed

Y = quantity of Y consumed

Px = price of good X

Py = price of good Y

I = household income

a. When X=0 when Y=0

8 Y = 480 3 X = 480

Y = 60 X = 160

budget.jpg

3. We should choose the point B because at point B we use all the income that we have to buy goods and services which means efficient. It’s different with point A and C. At point A, the maximum condition is unreached because there is a residual budget that we don’t use. Point B is unattainable because we have not enough money to consume at that point.

4. The law of diminishing marginal utility states that the more of any one good consumed in a given period, the less satisfaction generated by consuming each additional unit of the same good.

5. Marginal Rate of Substitution (MRS) is the ratio at which household is willing to substitutes one good (X) for another good (Y).

MRS = MUx/MUy

MRS equal to 5 means a household would be willing to trade five units of Y for one additional unit of X.

6. This paradox states that: “The things with the greatest value in use frequently have little or no value in exchange, and the things with the greatest value in exchange frequently have little or no value in use.”

There are two main points in this theory which are value in use and value in exchange. The very useful thing in our life frequently have little value in exchange such as water because it need a little sacrifice ,easy reflecting in low cost of production, to produce. Vice versa, the less useful thing frequently has large value in exchange, such as diamond because of it need large sacrifice or high cost of production to produce.

7. The substitution effect and income effect when price of X decreases:

- Normal goods

SE: price of Y become relative more expensive, quantity demanded of X increase

IE: purchasing power increase, quantity demanded of X increase

SE and IE go in same direction

Conclusion: quantity demanded of X increase

- Inferior goods

SE: price of Y become relative more expensive, quantity demanded of X increase

IE: purchasing power increase , quantity demanded of X decrease

SE and IE in opposite directionàSE > IE

Conclusion: quantity demanded of X increase

- Giffen goods

SE: price of Y become relative more expensive, quantity demanded of X increase

IE: purchasing power increase , quantity demanded of X decrease

SE and IE in opposite directionàSE <>

Conclusion: quantity demanded of X decrease

a. Yes, the data consistent with the law of diminishing marginal utility because when we consume one more and more slice of bread, the additional satisfaction decrease and we have stop to consume in the fourth slice because we will get no more additional satisfaction and if we consume more, even it will cause the negative marginal utility.

9. Substitution effect: The increases in wage means that leisure is more expensive, which causes the household substitute other goods for leisure. It means lower quantity demanded of leisure and higher quantity supplied of labor.

Income effect: The increases in wage will cause the household better off because they will earn higher income and lead to higher demand for leisure. It means quantity supplied of labor will decrease.

If the substitution effect is greater than the income effect, the wage increase will increase labor supply which suggests that the labor supply curve slopes upward (a). But, if the income effect is greater than substitution effect, a higher wage will lead labor supply to decrease which suggest that the labor supply curve slope downward (b).

10. Deriving demand curve

Assume that the price of X decrease ( both X and Y is normal goods).

Essay
1. Law of demand:
negative relationship between price and quantity demanded. When the price falls, quantity demanded will increase, at ceteris paribus, and vice versa.
Law of supply:
Positive relationship between price and quantity supplied.
When price falls quantity supplied will decrease, at ceteris paribus, vice versa.
2. Input Market
market sell resources to be used for the production process.
e.x : Steel, Plastice Ore, Iron Ore, etc.

Output Market
market where goods and services exchanged.
e.x : Cars Market.


3. Lihat di buku gambar yang jelasnya, dan penjelasannya.

4. a. Normal goods
Goods which demand tends to increase as income increases. Example : luxurious
cars.

b. Inferior goods
goods that demand tends to fall as income increases.

c. Substitutes Goods
items can be interchangeable, when a single price rises, demand for other goods
will rise.

d. Complementary Goods
a decline in goods prices causes an increase in demand for other goods.

5.demand curve has a negative slope due to the demand made by the buyer.buyers will
buy more goods if the goods are much cheaper price. so the price and quantity in
demand has a negative relationship. (mathematical explanation)

supply curve has a positive slope because that its offering is a Producer, so the
Producer will sell more goods when the price increased to greater profits.

6. Equilibrium is a condition where the amount of goods demanded equals the quantity
of goods offered. Equilibrium occurs when Qd=Qs

7. equilibrium :
QDx = QSx
8000-1000p = -4000 + 2000 p
12.000 = 3000p
P = $4

Q = 8000-1000p
Q = 8000-1000 ($4)
Q = 8000-4000
Q = 4000

Jadi Pe (equilibrium) = $4
dan Qe (Equilibrium) = 4000

dan titik keseimbangan terletak di Qe ; Pe (4000 ; $4)

ESSAY
1. Economics is the study of how societies use the scarce resources to produce goods and services and distribute them among different people.
2. Opportunity cost is the best alternatives forgone of making one decision and giving up another decision.
Sunk cost is the cost that had been made and cannot be recovery and shouldn’t affect next economic decision.
Marginal cost is an additional cost of producing one unit of output and concern also for the economic decision
3. The four main reasons why we study economics are :
-Learn the basic thoughts : related to the opportunity cost, marginal cost, sunk cost. it deals of how society makes a decision
- Understanding the society : because the economic decision in the past will affect the life of the society nowadays, so we study economics to concern the long-live society.
- Understanding global issues : because economic had become a main issue all over the world. The policy, locally or internationally, will lead to the overall economic performance in one country. And because economic often causes the big impact for the world welfare and stability, it’s important to understand the global issues.
- to be the speaker of knowledge : when we want to participate about the country’s performance, it’s important to analyze the policy by knowing the basic understanding of economics.
4. Positive economics : The economics method that describe of what happening is and how it is happening. The approaching of economics that doesn’t judge and just see how the people and operation system behave.
Normative economics : The economics method that analyze the result of economic behavior and evaluate the policy about how good and how bad. It what should be happen rather than what happens.
5. Ceteris Paribus means other thing held constant. The assumption of ceteris paribus is needed to simplify the reality and to focus of the relationship we are concerning of. It’s the part of abstraction process when there’s a complicated model and hard to be discussed. Because in the social life, many things had their own effect to something, and to know the relationship of only one thing to another thing, we need to make the model more simply.
6. Scarcity is when the resources are limited relative to the human needs and wants. While choice is the action that human should do when they face the fact of scarcity.
as related to the economic problem, people should make a choice how to produce efficiently in the given scarce resources. The 3 basic question of what, how and for whom are also answering the problem of scarcity and choice.
7. Comparative advantage : The idea which stated that the specialization and the free-trade will give a benefit for each trader’s participant, even when there’s an inefficient producer.
Absolute advantage : The idea which stated that a producer still gets a same result in producing goods or services when that producer is able to use the lower resources.
8. Laissez-Faire is the France’s phrase which means : let them do.
It is the economic system that has no government intervention and work based on market-economy-system. It concerns in the efficiency and regard that the government intervention will only bring the inefficiency, so it runs its economic based on the behavior of capital’s holders.
9. Production Possibility Frontier is the graph that shows the all combination of goods and services produced when all resources are used efficiently.
In the graph shows the combination of weapons and butter that nation faces. The nation best production is lied above the point A andC.
while the B point, the nation is still leaving some resources.
In point A, the nation take more weapons that butter, while in point C, the nation take more butter than weapons, but it gives the same best alternatives.
The point B implies that the nation hasn’t used its best resources in producing products. It means the economy hasn’t attained the efficient economy.

weapons







butter





10. Indonesia’s economic system is actually a mixed-economy which adopts the market-system when there’s a freedom for market to operate its business and run economic activities, but there’s still an intervention from government. Where the main and important resources are led by the nation and the private firms can only run a business of usual products (not main important resources). Furthermore, the government is also regulating several economic performance indicators which reflects in the fiscal or monetary policy.
