Those participating in thisyear’s contest are Arvada, Centennial, Lakewood, Highlands Ranch, and Parker.To make the contest fair for both large and small cities, the winning city will be the one that recycles the largest number of cans per capita—the number of cans recycled dividedby the number of city residents. 0.02 per can Recycling Can Contest City Population Jan Feb Mar Total Per Capita Arvada 15,855 10,505 24,556 12,567 Centenntial 28,951 24,567 21,777 26,719 Lakewood 142,547 102,376 105,876 121,987 Highlands Ranch 2,801,561 2,714,664 2,503,344 1,999,877 Parker 1,689,908 1,523,665 1,487,660 1,002,545 Total -…
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. a) Construct a table showing the alternative combinations of the two products that are available. b)Plot the data in your table on a budget line. What is the slope of the budget line? What is the opportunity cost of one more cup of orange juice? And what is opportunity cost of one more sandwich? Do these opportunity cost rise, fall or remain constant as you purchase an additional unit of the product? c)Suppose the price of a cup of orange juice increased to $150. Construct a new table showing alternative combinations of sandwiches and orange juice. Construct the new budget line.

I already have parts 1,2,3. I just need help with parts 4 and 5. Robinson Crusoe lives in an island. There are onlytwo food sources in this island: coconut and berries. There is no money in the island but Robinsonuses his time to collect coconuts and berries. He sleeps 8 hours in a day. Collecting a coconut takes2 hours. Picking a pound of berries takes one hour. 1. Considering the food collection times as the prices in the island, write the budget line equationand draw Robinson’s budget line graphically. Specify the intercepts and the slope in the budgetline on the graph.Robinson falls from coconut tree and injures his leg. After the injury collecting coconut takes longer.He can only collect a coconut in 4 hours, but he can still pick berries at the same pace as before. 2. What happens to Robinson’s budget line? Show on the graph. Robinson’s injury makes him more sleepy. Now he sleeps 12 hours in a day. 3. What happens to Robinson’s budget line? Show on the graph.Two weeks after the…
5. Vera is an impoverished graduate student who has only $100 a month to spend on food. She has read in a government publication that she can assure an adequate diet by eating only peanut butter and carrots in the Öxed ratio of 2 pounds of peanut butter to 1 pound of carrots, so she decides to limit her diet to that regime. a) If peanut butter costs $4 per pound and carrots cost $2 per pound, how much can she eat during the month? b) Suppose peanut butter costs rise to $5 because of peanut subsidied introduced by a politically sensitive government. By how much will Vera have to reduce her food purchases? c) How much in food stamp aid would the government have to give Vera to compensate for the e§ects of peanut subsidy? d) Explain why Veraís preferences are of a very special type here. How would you graph them?

2. Determining opportunity cost Juanita is deciding whether to buy a suit that she wants, as well as where to buy it. Three stores carry the same suit, but it is more convenient for Juanita to get to some stores than others. For example, she can go to her local store, located 15 minutes away from where she works, and pay a marked-up price of $104 for the suit: Store Travel Time Each Way Price of a Suit (Minutes) (Dollars per suit) Local Department Store 15 104 Across Town 30 87 Neighboring City 60 80 Juanita makes $36 an hour at work. She has to take time off work to purchase her suit, so each hour away from work costs her $36 in lost income. Assume that returning to work takes Juanita the same amount of time as getting to a store and that it takes her 30 minutes to shop. As you answer the following questions, ignore the cost of gasoline and depreciation of her car when traveling. Complete the following table by computing the…
