Suppose Matt’s income is $120. He plans to spend it on two goods bread and avacado. Prices are: Pb = $4 per loaf of bread, Pa = $1 per avocado If Matt spends all his income on loafs of bread, how many does he buy? If Matt spends all his income on avocadoes, how many does he buy? If Matt buys 10 loaf of bread, how many avocados can he buy? Plot each of the bundles from parts A – C on a graph that measures avocadoes on the horizontal axis and loaves of bread on the vertical axis, connect the dots to find Matt’s budget constraint. Show what happens to the budget constraint if his income falls to $100, (prices do not change). Show what happens to the budget constraint if price of avocado rises to Pa = $2 per avocado, (income and price of loaves of bread did not change).
Explain how does adecrease in the current income y affect the consumer’s consumption-saving decision. In particular,explain: 1) How will current consumption c, future consumption c', and savings s change; 2) Arethere any substitution effect or income effect. Make sure you draw two figures, one for the borrowersand one for the lenders.

Suppose U.S. drivers purchased $50 billion of ExxonMobil-produced gasoline during a recent year, with one-half purchased directly from ExxonMobil-owned gas stations and one-half from independent (or third-party) gas stations. Suppose further that ExxonMobil purchased the oil (which it refined into gasoline) from foreign producers for $20billion and that it receives 60 percent of the sales revenue that independent stations generate from selling ExxonMobil gasoline. In this case, the value added by ExxonMobil to U.S. GDP is $__billion.
Roberto is a senior citizen who consumes food and health care. When he retired in 2002, he consumed 90 meals and 3 medical checkups per month. Suppose in 2002 that the price of a meal was $10 and the price of a medical checkup was $64. However, in 2012, the price of a meal is $11 and the price of a medical checkup is $278. As a result, Roberto consumes 100 meals and 2 medical checkups per month. Calculate a Laspeyres cost-of-living index for Roberto using 100 as the base in 2002. In particular, the Laspeyres index for 2012 is nothing. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
