college student has two options for meals: eating at the dining hall for $6 per meal, or eating a
Cup O’ Soup for $1.50 per meal. Her weekly food budget is $60.
a. Draw the budget constraint showing the trade-off between dining hall meals and Cups O’
Soup. Assuming that she spends equal amounts on both goods, draw an indifference curve
showing the optimum choice. Label the optimum as point A.
b. Suppose the price of a Cup O’ Soup now rises to $2. Using your diagram from part (a), show
the consequences of this change in price. Assume that our student now spends only 30 percent
of her income on dining hall meals. Label the new optimum as point B.
c. What happened to the quantity of Cups O’ Soup consumed as a result of this price change?
What does this result say about the income and substitution effects? Explain.
d. Use points A and B to draw a demand curve for Cup O’ Soup. What is this type of good

XYZ Ltd. is considering the purchase of new machine. Two alternative machines (A & B) have been
suggested, each having initial cost of Rs. 10,00,000 and requiring Rs. 50,000 as additional working capital at
the end of 1st year. Net cash flows are expected to be as follows:
Year Machine A (in Rs.) Machine B (in Rs.)
1 1,00,000 3,00,000
2 4,00,000 6,00,000
3 4,00,000 3,00,000
4 4,00,000 5,00,000
5 3,00,000 2,00,000
The company has target return on capital of 10% and on this basis you are required to compare the
profitability of the machines and state which alternative you consider to be financially preferable.
