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…
EXERCISE 3 If Joe decides to allocate his entire weekly allowance between energy drinks and coffee, he could afford 9 energy drinks and 3 cups of coffee, or 6 cups of coffee and 2 energy drinks. Suppose a cup of coffee costs £2.80. Calculate the price of an energy drink and Joe’s weekly allowance. Write down Joe’s budget equation and draw the corresponding budget line. Mark the two consumption bundles 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. Discuss how Joe’s budget set would change if his allowance was reduced by £5.20 a week. Show the relevant changes graphically. How should the price of coffee change so that Joe could still afford to buy 6 cups of coffee and 2 energy drinks? Discuss how Joe’s budget constraint would change if the government subsidised consumption of coffee by £0.50 per cup of coffee.
Jane 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
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.
a consumer has a daily income of $96 and purchases just two goods, burgers and sodas. the price of burgers is $8 and the price of sodas is $2. with burhers on the horizontal acis, draw the budget line for the consumer. calculate the slope of the budget line. how would the budget line chnage if we increase the price of sora to $4.
Anthony spends all his income on two goods, X and Y and his tastes don't change between 2008 and 2009. The prices he paid and the quantities he consumed in 2008 are as follows: PX = 15, X = 20, PY = 25 and Y = 30. Suppose the prices in 2009 are PX = 6 and PY = 30, and his income in 2009 is €1,020, Anthony is as well off in 2009 as he is in 2008 Anthony is better off in 2009 than in 2008 Anthony is better off in 2008 than in 2009 There is not enough information to answer this question
Linda loves buying shoes and going out to dance. Her utility function for pairs of shoes, S, and the number of times she goes dancing per month, T, is U(S,T) = 2ST, so MUs = 2T and MUT = 2S. 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. A. What is the equation for her budget line? Draw it (with T on the vertical axis) and label the slope and intercepts. B. What is Linda's marginal rate of substitution? Explain. C. Use math to solve for her optimal bundle. Show how to determine this bundle in a diagram using indifference curves and a budget line.
