Suppose that a consumer has an income of $10 per period, and that he must spend it all on meat or potatoes. If meat is $2.00 per pound and potatoes are $2.00 per pound, draw the consumer's budget line on a graph. identify the quantity of meat and potatoes that would be consumed.
Suppose that with a budget of $210, Fatima spends $126 on sushi and $84 on bagels when sushi costs $2 per piece and bagels cost $2 per bagel. Then, after the price of bagels falls to $1 per bagel. Instructions: Enter your answers as a whole number. How many pieces of sushi and how many bagels did Fatima consume before the price change? pieces of sushi and bagels At the new prices, how much money would it have cost Fatima to buy those same quantities (that is, the quantities that she consumed before the price change)? Given that it used to take Fatima's entire $210 to buy those quantities, how big is the income effect caused by the lower price of bagels?
Marie has a weekly budget of $2400, which she likes to spend on magazines and pies. If the price of one magazine is $40, what is the maximum number of magazines she can buy in a week? If the price of a pie is $120, what is the maximum number of pies she can buy in a week? Compute and show Marie’s budget schedule for pies and magazines. Draw Marie’s budget line with pies on the horizontal axis and magazines on the vertical axis.
Suppose that you are trying to determine whether or not your friend Rajiv views a pound of cheese as a necessity, a luxury, or in between a necessity and a luxury. Rajiv has a weekly income of s50 to spend on either cheese or other consumption. The price of cheese is $10 per pound, and the vertical axis is treated as a composite good representing dollars spent on other consumption. On the following graph, use the blue line (circle symbol) to graph Rajiy's budget constraint (BC). Then, place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the best bundle in this case. Note: Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes. 100 90 вс, 70 Initial Best Bundle 00 50 40 BC, 30 20 New Best Bundie 10 2. 6. 10 CHEESE (Pounds per week) Now, suppose that Rajiv's weekly income increases to $100. Use the green line (triangle symbol) to graph the new budget constraint (BCa). Then, place the grey point (star symbol) on the graph to indicate the new best bundle. According to the…

Alex distributes his monthly income of $600 between two goods, movies and food. By spending his entire income on movies, he can enjoy a maximum of 20 movies. On the other hand, by spending his entire income on food he can consume a total of 60 units of food. Assume that food consumption is measured along the horizontal axis and the consumption of movies is measured on the vertical axis. Calculate the slope of Alex's budget line when the price of food increases to $20 while the price of movie remains unchanged. -2/3 - 1.5 -2 -3/4
