please urgent EXERCISE 2 Ravi has £21 to spend on pastries and biscuits. If he spends all the money on pastries, he can afford 15 pastries. The slope of Ravi’s budget line (assuming his pastries consumption is measured on the horizontal axis and his biscuits consumption is measured on the vertical axis) is -3.5 (3.5 in absolute terms). a) Calculate the price of a pastry and the price of a biscuit. Write down Ravi’s budget equation and draw the corresponding budget line. Mark the consumption bundle mentioned above. In your graph, clearly label the axes, the budget line, and calculate the coordinates of the points of intersection of the budget line with each axis. Interpret each of those points. b) Discuss how Ravi’s budget set would change if his budget doubles. Show the relevant changes graphically. How could the price of a pastry increase so that Ravi could still afford to buy 15 pastries? c) Discuss how Ravi’s budget constraint would change if the government imposed a tax of £0.50…

Course: MicroeconomicsConsider a consumer who has income equal to 100 and who faces prices Px = 2 and Py = 1, of 2 goods, X and Y. Consumer is in equilibrium consuming basket (X*, Y*) = (20, 60). If price of Y increases and becomes Py = 2, and income increases and becomes equal to 160, which consumption basket will consumer choose in new situation? Explain and graph
Jeremy has a monthly income of $60. He spends his money making telephone calls (good ?, measured in minutes) at a price of ?? and on other composite good ?, whose price has been normalized to one, meaning ?? = $1. His mobile phone company offers him two plans: plan A, in which he pays no monthly fee and makes calls for $0.50 per minute, or plan B, in which he pays a $20 monthly fee and benefits from cheaper phone calls at $0.20 per minute.(a) Depict Jeremy’s budget constraint under each of the two plans, with the number of phone calls (good ?) in the horizontal axis and the composite good (good ?) in the vertical axis. (b) If Jeremy mentioned that plan A is better for him, what is the set of consumption bundles he may purchase if his behavior is consistent with WARP?
