If the relative price of one unit of good y is 0.25 units of good z, then it follows that the absolute price of good z can be __________ and the absolute price of good y can be __________. a. $4,000; $2,000 b. $1,000; $2,000 c. $2,000; $1,000 d. A and c

Respuesta :

Answer: None of the above

Explanation: f the relative price of one unit of good y is 0.25 units of good z, it means that

[tex]P_{y} = 0.25 * P_{z}[/tex]

Out of the given options none satisfy this condition, for

a. [tex]P_{y} = 0.25 * P_{z}[/tex]

[tex]P_{y} = 0.25 (4000)


= 1000 \neq 2000[/tex]

b. [tex]P_{y} = 0.25 * P_{z}[/tex]

[tex]P_{y} = 0.25 (1000)


= 250 \neq 2000[/tex]

c. [tex]P_{y} = 0.25 * P_{z}[/tex]

[tex]P_{y} = 0.25 (2000)


= 500 \neq 1000[/tex]

Therefore, none of the above options satisfy the relative price equation.
