Suppose that you initially have $100 to spend on books or movie tickets. The books start off costing $25 each and the movie tickets start off costing $10 each. For each of the following situations, would the attainable set of combinations that you can afford increase or decrease? a. Your budget increases from $100 to $150 while the prices stay the same. b. Your budget remains $100, the price of books remains $25, but the price of movie tickets rises to $20. c. Your budget remains $100, the price of movie tickets remains $10, but the price of a book falls to $15.
Suppose that with a budget of $100, Deborah spends $60 on sushi and $40 on bagels when sushi costs $2 per piece and bagels cost $2 per bagel. But then, after the price of bagels falls to $1 per bagel, she spends $50 on sushi and $50 on bagels. How many pieces of sushi and how many bagels did Deborah consume before the price change? At the new prices, how much money would it have cost Deborah to buy those same quantities (the ones that she consumed before the price change)? Given that it used to take Deborah’s entire $100 to buy those quantities, how big is the income effect caused by the reduction in the price of bagels?
Solve all the Questions:- Harold lives on Doritos and seafood salads. The price of Doritos is 1 dollar per bag and the price of seafood salads is 2 dollars each. Harold allows himself to spend no more than 11 dollars a day on food. He also restricts his consumption to 6,500 calories per day. There are 1,500 calories in a bag of Doritos and 500 calories in a seafood salad. If he spends his entire money budget each day and consumes no more calories than his calo-rie limit, he can consume up to a. 5 bag of Doritos per day but no more. b. 1 bag of Doritos per day but no more. c. 4 bag of seafood salad per day but no more. d. 3 bag of Doritos per day but no more. Quincy lives on pretzels and seafood salads. The price of pretzels is 1 dollar per bag and the price of seafood salads is 2 dollars each. Quincy allows himself to spend no more than 14 dollars a day on food. He also restricts his consumption to 3,400 calories per day. There are 600 calories in a bag…
Assume that, a consumer has $1200 to spend on two goods, X and Y. If the price of a pair of good X is $20 per unit and the price of good Y is $15 each, which of the following combinations that the consumer can purchase from good X and Good Y?
In economics, we have learned that related goods’ price does matter. Given the budget constraint and everything else remains the same, an individual consumer switches to relatively cheaper goods (also known as substitution effect). Often when you visit a chemist shop with your doctor’s prescription, your pharmacist may ask whether you are interested in buying a relatively cheaper drug (which is biologically equivalent to your prescribed drug) if it is available. what seems to be a problem that may arise when one switches to a cheaper drug.
Would this person be maximizing utility?: Bobby eats 2 sandwiches and drinks 3 sodas. The last sandwich gives Bobby 25 units of utility and the last soda gives him 5 units of utility. Sandwiches are $5 each and sodas are $1 each. What should Bobby do to maximize utility if it is not already maximized?
Suppose you won $15 on a lotto ticket at the local 7-Eleven and decided to spend all the winnings on candy bars and bags of peanuts. The price of candy bars is $.75 and the price of peanuts is $1.50. Suppose that you had won $30 on your ticket, not $15. Show the $30 budget line in your diagram. Why would this budget line be preferable to the old one?
Assume that a consumer has a given budget or income of $10 and that she can buy only two goods, apples or bananas. The price of an apple is $1.00 and the price of a banana is $0.50. If the consumer decides to buy 4 apples, how many bananas can she also buy with the remainder of her budget, assuming she exhausts her income? 12 bananas 5 bananas 8 bananas 15 bananas
If Pp denotes the price of a pound of pasta and Pb denotes the price of a loaf of bread, then Pp/Pb represents the number of loaves of bread consumer has to give up in order to buy another pound of pasta. the number of pounds of pasta a consumer has to give up in order to buy another loaf of bread. the number of loaves of bread a consumer is willing to give up to have another pound of pasta. the number of pounds of pasta a consumer is willing to give up to have another loaf of bread.
The graph shows two budget lines and six consumption points (A, B, C, D, E, and F) for Pepsi and Dr Pepper. Note that budget line 1 is before the increase in Fred's income, whereas budget line 2 is after the increase in Fred's income. Assume that the consumer, Fred, attempts to maximize his utility and exhausts his budget on the two goods. If Fred's income increases, the movement from point A to point E is consistent with Pepsi being a normal good and Dr Pepper being an inferior good. If Fred's income increases, the movement from point A to point B is consistent with Dr Pepper being a normal good and Pepsi being an inferior good.
The price of DVDs (D) is $20.00 and the price of CDs (C) is $10.00. Phillip has a budget of $100.00 to spend on the two goods. Suppose that he has already bought 1 DVD and 1 CD. In addition, there are 3 more DVDs and 7 more CDs that he would really like to buy.The price of DVDs (D) is $20.00 and the price of CDs (C) is $10.00. Phillip has a budget of $100.00 to spend on the two goods. Suppose that he has already bought 1 DVD and 1 CD. In addition, there are 3 more DVDs and 7 more CDs that he would really like to buy. 1.) Using the line drawing tool, given the above prices and income, draw his budget line in the figure.Label this line 'L'. 2.) Using the point drawing tool, and considering what Phillip has already purchased and what he still wants to purchase, identify the three different bundles of CDs and DVDs that he could choose. Label these points 'bundle 1', 'bundle 2', and 'bundle 3'. (Assume that he cannot purchase fractional units) Carefully follow the…
In the below figure, a consumer is initially in equilibrium at point C. The consumer’s income is $400, and the budget line through point C is given by $400 = $100X + $200Y. When the consumer is given a $100 gift certificate that is good only at store X, she moves to a new equilibrium at point D.d. How many units of product X could be purchased at point B?e. How many units of product X could be purchased at point F?f. Based on this consumer’s preferences, rank bundles A, B, C, and D in order from most preferred to least preferred.
