- Suppose a consumer has a budget for fast-food items of $60 per week and spends this money on two goods, hamburgers and pizzas. Suppose hamburgers cost $10 each and pizzas cost $20. Put the quantity of hamburgers purchased per month on the horizontal axis and the quantity of pizzas purchased per month on the vertical axis. Draw the budget line. What is its slope?What happens to the original budget line if the income of the consumer falls by 25%? (i.e., Will there be a change in the slope and/or intercepts of the original budget line? If yes, what are those changes?) Draw the new budget line after the fall in income.Linda loves buying shoes and going out to dance. It costs Linda $50 to buy a new pair of shoes or to spend an evening out dancing. Assume that she has $500 to spend on shoes and dancing. 1. What is the equation for her budget line? Draw it with T on the vertical axis and label the slope and intercept.
- Last week Sara’s income was $12 a week. The price of popcorn was $3 a bag, and the price of a smoothie was $3.e. Draw a graph of Sara’s budget line with the quantity of smoothies on the x-axis.f. What is the slope of Sara’s budget line? What determines its value?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…need quality answer Nuoya has $256 to spend on cherry and/or coconuts. The price of cherry is $12/kg and the price of coconuts is $17/kg. What is the slope of her budget line, if cherry is on the horizontal axis and coconuts are on the vertical axis? Round your answer to two decimal places, if necessary. Hint: is slope positive or negative?
- 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 −2Jane is your typical economics student who consumes two goods: economics textbook and coffee. Jane’s income is $40. She can spend it all on books and get 5 or she can spend it all on coffee and get 20 cups.Given this information, construct the equation for Jane’s budget line and plot it (put books on the x–axis and coffee on the y–axis)Suppose the price of a donut is $2.50, the price of a cinnamon roll is $3.20, and the budget is $50. Donuts are on the x-axis and cinnamon rolls are on the y-axis. If the budget is decreased to $40, what happens to the Budget Line? The budget line undergoes a parallel shift outward The budget lines undergoes a parallel shift inward The budget lines rotates outward The budget lines rotates inward
- Question 2 David spends his budget on chocolate and chip. His utility function is given by ?(?1,?2)= 2?1?2, where ?1 is the number of chocolates he consumers per week, and ?2 is the number of chips he buys per week. A chocolate costs 10 SEK, and a chip costs 20 SEK. David’s weekly budge for consuming on these two goods is 120 SEK. (1) What is David’s budge line? Draw the budget line on a graph with chocolate amounts on the horizontal axis and chip amounts on the vertical axis. Write explicitly at which points budget line crosses the axis. (2) What is David’s marginal utilities for the two goods, respectively? What is his marginal rate of substitution between the two goods? (3) What is David’s optimal choice? Calculate the numerical answer for the optimal bundle. Also draw an indifference curve for David on the same graph as question(1) and show the optimal bundle.This week Sara’s income falls from $12 to $9 a week, while the price of popcorn isunchanged at $3 a bag and the price of a smoothie is unchanged at $3.h. What is the effect of the fall in Sara’s income on the relative price of a smoothiein terms of popcorn? What is the slope of Sara’s new budget line if it is drawnwith smoothies on the x-axis?a) Suppose a consumer has a budget for fast-food items of $20 per week and spends this money on two goods, hamburgers and pizzas. Suppose hamburgers cost $5 each and pizzas cost $10. Put the quantity of hamburgers purchased per week on the horizontal axis and the quantity of pizzas purchased per week on the vertical axis. Draw the budget line. What is its slope (use MRS formula to calculate the slope)? b) Suppose the consumer in part (a) is indifferent among the combinations of hamburgers and pizzas shown. In the grid you used to draw the budget lines, draw an indifference curve passing through the combinations shown, and label the corresponding points A, B, and C. Label this curve I. Combinations Hamburgers/Week Pizzas/Week A 5 0 B 3 ½ C 0 3 c) The budget line is tangent to indifference curve, determine that point and explain the meaning of this tangency.
