Emily buys only ice cream and chocolate and spends all of her income on the two items. Suppose the price of ice cream rises. Emily adjusts her optimal consumption bundle such that Emily now buys less ice cream and more chocolate at her new consumer equilibrium. According to marginal utility theory: a. The substitution effect must have been bigger than the income effect since we observe Emily buying more chocolate.
b. The substitution effect must have been bigger than the income effect since we observe Emily buying less ice cream.
с. The income effect must have been bigger than the substitution effect since we observe Emily buying more chocolate.
d. The income effect must have been bigger than the substitution effect since we observe Emily buying less ice cream.

Suppose a firm faces a fixed price of output, 푝푝= 1200. the firm hires workers from a union at a daily wage, 푤푤, to produce output according to the production function 푞푞= 2퐸퐸12. there are 225 workers in the union. any union worker who does not work for this firm is guaranteed to find nonunion employment at a wage of $96 per day. a.what is the firm’s labor demand function? b.if the firm is allowed to choose 푤푤, but then the union decides how many workers to provide (up to 225) at that wage, what wage will the firm set? how many workers will the union provide? what is the firm’s output and profit? what is the total income of the 225 union workers? c.now suppose that the union sets the wage, but the firm decides how many workers to hire at that wage (up to 225). what wage will the union set to maximize the total income of all 225 workers? how many workers will the firm hire? what is the firm’s output and profit? what is the total income of the 225 union workers? [hint: to maximize total income of union, take the first order condition with respect to w and set equal to 0.]
