Answer to Question 1

Over the last couple of decades, income inequality has increased. In recent years, higher income groups have gained relatively more than the lower income groups, perhaps because of rapid technological progress. These technological advances have benefited the better educated more than the less educated.

Answer to Question 2

The statement is incorrect. The principle of diminishing marginal rate of substitution means that as Jake consumes more sodas, he is willing to give up fewer other goods in order to get an additional soda.
