John is a School of Agriculture graduate and consumes 2 goods: Yoghurt and Bread. Akua also earns a typical student income from the parents, GHS 400 a month. She can either spend it all on Yoghurts and get 50, or she can spend it all on Bread and get 200 loaves. a. Given this information, construct the equation for John’s Budget Line. b. John gets a research grant and her income increases to GHS 800 per month. What is the new equation of her budget line? What if income stays constant at GHS 400 and the price of Yoghurts increase to GHS10? c. Assume that prices are the same as used in part a. If the marginal utility of a Yoghurt is 20, what is the marginal utility of Bread if she is maximizing her utility?

Last year, 1000 galions of almond milk (a non-dairy product) were sold at a price of $10 Yet, this year, a bad harvest in Califomia has wiped out a significant part of the aimond harvest At the same tme, a larger number of people are looking to shift away from dairy products towards non-dairy atematives.
