Q: Toby Talkalot subscribes to a local phone service that changes a fixed fee
of $10 per month and allows him to place as many local phone calls as he
likes without further charge. Let good 1 be an aggregate of commodities
other than local phone use and let good 2 be local phone use.
(Measure good 1 on the horizontal axis and good 2 on the vertical axis.)
On Monday, Toby didn't use the telephone at all. The slope m of his
indifference curve at the consumption bundle he chose on Monday was
A)positive
B)less than or equal to 0
C)0
D)greater than 0
E)negative
補習班給的答案是A(但另有詳解寫E)
A的解釋是由於縱軸的室內電話費率是0 因此Toby面對的預算限制式為垂直線
若他在星期一的最適選擇是角解橫軸商品 表示此時無異曲線一定是正斜率
選E的詳解表示:雖然星期一沒有使用~但費用已繳~無論有沒有使用電話~都視為已購買
我的想法是:若把電話費率放在縱軸 那他星期一沒有使用的確可看做價格下跌至無窮
但為什麼角解橫軸一定表示無異曲線是正斜率呢?
有請高手解答了!謝謝!!
有在研究所問題板問過 有板友說Varian的課本有這一題 而答案給C
想請問看看到底要怎麼解釋呢? 現在有三個版本啦...QQ
