consider a consumer who consumes only two goods :peas and beans. She has an income of K10, the price of beans is k0.20 while the price of peas is0.40.a) Draw the budget lineb) Suppose that the consumer consumes 30kg of beans. Assuming that she spends all her income, how many kgs of peas is she going to consume?c) Assume that the price of peas falls from k0.40 to k0.20. Assuming that the consumer still consumes 30kg of beans, find the new quantity of peas.d) After the decrease in price of peas to k0.20 assume that the consumer is just as well off as she was in (b) if she has an income of K7.60. However, with that income and the new price of peas, she would have consumed 20kg of beans. Find the quantity of peas she would have consumed in this case. Show it on the graph.

Suppose a consumer has a monthly income of m = 100 which she spendson two commodities: french fries (x1) and beef jerky (x2). The price offrench fries is p1 = 2 and the price of beef jerky is p2 = 5. (e) What is the slope of the budget line? Provide an economicinterpretation of this number.(f) Because of Mad Cow Disease, the price of beef jerky increasesto $10 (lower supply of beef). On a new graph, plot the originaland new budget constraint clearly identifying how the budgetconstraint has changed. What is the new relative price of beefjerky in terms of french fries?(g) Because of severe shortages, Congress passes the Jerky ReliefAct which limits each consumer to purchase at most 5 packs ofjerky. Show on a graph how this affects the consumer’s budgetset. Answer all three.

What happens to the original budget line if the price of good ? falls to 4$? (i.e., Will there be a change in the slope and/or intercepts of the original budget line? If yes, what are those changes?). Interpret economically how the change in the price of good ? affects the consumption decision of the consumer.
It is given that the price of goods X and Y are both Rs.10 each, a consumer consumes 10 units of X and 10 units of Y at equilibrium.a. Draw the budget line and indifference curve and show the point of consumer equilibrium. b. If the price of X falls to Rs.5, PY and money income remaining the same, what is the real income increase?c. At the new equilibrium caused by a fall in price of X, the consumer has a combination of 16 units of X and 12 units of Y. Show the price effect of a change in price of X using the PCC.d. Why are more units of Y consumed even though its price has not fallen?
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?
