Jessie is attempting to draw her budget constraint for purchasing cookies and strawberries. At a maximum, she could consume 500 strawberries; she labels this point on the vertical axis of her budget constraint. At a maximum, she could consume 200 cookies; she labels this point on her graph. If the price of a cookie is $0.50 and her budget is $100, what is the price of a strawberry?

Raymond consumes meatloaves and pineapples. He has decided that his monthly budget will be $1500. Suppose that one meatloaf costs $375, while one pineapple costs $150. What is the expression for Raymond’s budget constraint? Draw a graph of Raymond’s budget line (meatloaf on the y axis). Show how Raymond’s budget line changes if the price of pineapples increases to $370. Suppose Raymond decides to cut his monthly budget in half. Coincidentally, the next time he shops, he learns that meatloaves and pineapples are on sale for half price. Show what happens to Raymond’s budget line?

Kimiko is planning a party to celebrate her birthday. She has decided to serve sushi and yakitori meat skewers. Each serving of sushi is $8 and each yakitori skewer is $2. Kimiko has $240 to spend on the party. Please graph her budget line. Her friend, Barry, thinks there will not be enough food, so he gives Kimiko $80 more to spend on the party (she now has $320). How will this affect the budget line? a. There will be a parallel shift of the budget line away from the origin. b. There will be a parallel shift of the budget line towards the origin. c. There will be an outward shift of point A only. d. There will be an outward shift of point B only.
