1. Suppose you earn $1500 per week and you consume only two types of goods per week- sandwiches and orange juice, which you purchase at a mini mart. Each sandwich cost $150 and an orange juice is $75 per cup. Answer: a) Suppose your income increase from $1500 per week to $3000 per week. Construct a new table showing alternative combinations of sandwiches and cups of orange juice. Construct the new budget line. Why would this budget line be preferred to the old one with an income of $1500?

Q19 Suppose a consumer can purchase only two goods: pasta and rice. Let the quantity of pasta be measured on the vertical axis and the quantity of rice be measured on the horizontal axis. If the price of pasta falls, with no change in the price of rice or in the consumer's money income, then the budget line for the consumer will rotate... a. Outward parallel to the existing budget line. b. Toward the origin and become flatter. c. Away from the origin and become steeper. d. Away from the origin and become flatter. e. Toward the origin and become steeper.
Assume that a consumer has a given budget or income of $12 and that she can buy only two goods, apples or bananas. The price of an apple is $1.50 and the price of a banana is $0.75. What is the slope of the budget line if the quantity of apples were measured on the horizontal axis and bananas on the vertical axis? −0.5 −0.8 −1.6 −2
Jordan eats two types of fruits – oranges and mangos. He has a budget of $60 to spend on fruits per month. The price of oranges is $4 per bag and that of mangos is $12 per bag. With this information, answer the questions below. Graph Jordan’s budget line by plotting oranges on the horizontal axis and find the slope of his budget line. State the budget equation for Jordan’s consumption of fruits (oranges on the horizontal axis). Suppose the price of oranges has doubled. Show this effect graphically (initial + new budget line) and calculate the slope of the new budget line (oranges on the horizontal axis). Suppose Jordan now reduces the money spent on fruits to $50. Show this budget line change on a graph (oranges on the horizontal axis; price of oranges is $4 and price of mangos is $12). (
Suppose you have $30 and you are going to rent some movies and buy some sodas. Suppose movie rentals are $6.00 each and sodas are $1.00 each. Your original consumption bundle is 3 movies and 12 sodas. (Hint: put movie rentals on the X axis) a)Draw your budget line showing the different combinations of Movies that you can rent and sodas that you can purchase. b)Suppose that movie rentals turn out to be half off ($3.00). Draw your new budget line on the same graph.
