The president of LeTall University, President John, spends $30 per week on pizzas (qz)and beers (qb). At LeTall Pizza, his go-to pizza joint, pizza costs $3 per slice and beeralso costs $3 per can. Assume fractions of the goods are allowed.(a) Draw President John’s budget line (qb on the horizontal and qz on the vertical axis).(b) President John receives a coupon from LeTall Pizza. The coupon, which will expirein a week, allows him to buy a can of beer at a discounted price of $1 per can. Itis, however, only good for a dozen cans of beer. Draw President John’s budget lineunder the coupon. Label any critical points on the budget line.(c) In another week, LeTall Pizza offers a special deal for pizza. For every half dozenslices of pizza bought during the week, one can get two additional slices for free.Draw President John’s budget line under the special deal. Label any critical pointson the budget line.
