Akua is a School of Agriculture graduate and consumes 2 goods: Yoghurt and Bread. Akua also earns a typical student income from the parents, GHS 400 a month. She can either spend it all on Yoghurts and get 50, or she can spend it all on Bread and get 200 loaves. (a) Assuming that Yoghurt and Bread are compliments for Akua, construct the equation for Akua’s Budget Line for her to consume all her income of GHS 400. (b) What if Yoghurt is so SOUR that Akua needs 2 loaves of bread for every Yoghurt that she consumes?
QUESTION 1An individual lives for two periods and decides how much to consume in each period.- In the first period his consumption equals C1 and his income Y1 = 200- In the second period his consumption equals C2 and his income Y2 = 100He can save or borrow money in the first period to finance his consumption in the second period.The interest rate he gets in case he saves or has to pay in case he borrows money equals 7%.Determine the budget constraint of this individual. C2 = −0.935·C1 +314C2 =−1.07·C1 +314C2 =−0.8·C1 +314C2 =−1.08·C1 +314 QUESTION 2The total production of a good y is determined by the production function y = 3L2/3K1/3, where L is labour input and K capital input.The reward (factor prices) for labour and capital are, l = 27 en r = 2, respectively.The producer needs to produce 9000 units of good y.How much units of labour will he hire if he wants to miminize his total costs? 1587,4839,953000515,23 QUESTION 3A good is traded on a perfectly competitive…
Akua is a School of Agriculture graduate and consumes 2 goods: Yoghurt and Bread. Akua also earns a typical student income from the parents, GHS 400 a month. She can either spend it all on Yoghurts and get 50, or she can spend it all on Bread and get 200 loaves. a. Given this information, construct the equation for Akua’s Budget Line. c. Akua gets a research grant and her income increases to GHS 800 per month. What is the new equation of her budget line? What if income stays constant at GHS 400 and the price of Yoghurts increase to GHS10? d. Assume that prices are the same as used in part a. If the marginal utility of a Yoghurt is 20, what is the marginal utility of Bread if she is maximizing her utility? e. Now assume that Yoghurt and Bread are compliments for Akua.

Suppose that in Zambia, people consume only two goods, peas and beans. Suppose that John, a citizen in that country has an income of ZMW10, the price of beans is 20N per kg and the price of peas is 40N per kg. Suppose that John consumes 30 kg of beans. Assume that he wants to spend all his income, how many kg of peas is he going to consume? Assume that the price of peas falls from 40N to 20N. Assuming that John still consumes 30kg of beans, find the new quantity of peas. After the decrease in the price of peas to 20N, assume that Jonh is just as well off as he was in (a) if he has an income of ZMW7.6. However, with that income and the new price of peas he would have consumed 20 kg of beans. Find the quantity of peas he would have consumed in this case. Find the substitution effect on consumption of peas due to the decrease in the price of peas in (c). Find the income effect on consumption of peas due to the decrease in income in (c).

MICROECONOMICS Clara is leaving for the university restaurant with 3000 HUF in her pocket. Clara is only interested in two things; grilled chicken (x) and salad (y). One slice of grilled chicken costs 300 HUF and the price of 100 grams of salad is 500 HUF. What is the slope of Clara's budget line assuming that she spends her entire budget on these two items and she measures her consumption of grilled chicken on the horizontal axis and salad on the vertical one? (Please use two decimals in your answer.)
Q83 Suppose Jillian spends $250 on books per year when her income is zero. As her income rises, she spends 8 percent of each additional dollar of income on books. The correct mathematical equation that describes the functional relation between her spending on books (B) and her income (Y) is... a. B = 250 + 8Y b. B = 250 + 0.02Y c. Y = 250 + 0.08B d. Y = 250 - 8Y e. B = 250 + 0.08Y Clear my choice

Suppose you have a monthly income of $1000, $850 in monthly expenses, and you can put money in a savings account that yields a monthly interest rate of 4%. Create a budget constraint showing the trade-off between present consumption (horizontal axis) and future consumption (vertical axis). How much will you have in the future if you choose to consume $850 now? Show this point on your budget constraint.

Consider the following mini-economy composed of two firms (Firm 1 and Firm 2).Firm 1 is a farm and grows $4,000 of Wheat. Firm 1 keeps $1,000 of wheat in a silo to sell nextyear. Firm 1 then sells its remaining $3,000 of wheat directly to Firm 2. Firm 1 uses the $3,000 itreceives from Firm 2 to pay $2,000 to its workers, $200 on interest payments in outstandingdebts, and $800 in taxes.Firm 2 is a bakery and uses the $3,000 of wheat that it purchases to bake bread and sell it. Firm2 produces $7,000 of bread, selling $2,000 to the Government and selling $5,000 to privateconsumers. Firm 2 pays its workers $1,000, pays $1,000 in taxes, and the owner keeps the restof the money remaining as profits.13. Calculate GDP for this mini-economy using the value-added approach.
