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.
Scruffie the cat has $15 to spend each month on cat toys, which cost $3 each, and cat treats, which cost $1.50 each. Draw a budget line to show the combinations of each good that Scruffie can afford if she spends her entire budget. Now suppose that cat treats go on sale for $1 each. How does this change in price affect the budget line (describe and show on a graph)?
