Answer to Question 1

A household's real income is the household's income expressed as a quantity of goods the household can afford to buy. For example, the vertical intercept for a budget line measuring soda on the vertical axis is (y/Psoda), which is the consumer's real income in terms of sodas. A change in a household's money income changes the household's real income in terms of both goods and causes a parallel shift of the budget line. If a household's money income increases, its budget line shifts rightward and if a household's money income decreases, its budget line shifts leftward.
