A student has a monthly budget of $120 to spend on either burrito, which cost $6 each, or sodas, which cost $4 each.Draw the student's budget constraint. Put burritos on the x-axis and sodas on the y-axis. Which combinations of burritos and sodas are unaffordable--those to the left of the line in the graph or those above the line in the graph? Why? Which combinations would leave some budget unspent - those to the left of the line in the above graph or those to the right of the line in the above graph?
Worksheets 6. Dan spends his money on baseball games and concert tickets. Baseball tickets cost 915 , and Concent tickets cost$25. His entertainment budget is$150. a. Draw Dan's budget constraint, putting basebali tickets on the x-axis. b. Dan decides to attend three concerts and five baseball games. Plot this point on the budget constraint. C. Dan's best friend Jay tells Dan that his favorite thing to do is go to concerts. In fact, going to concerts is popular with a lot of Dan's friends. Will Dan's budget constraint increase. decrease, or stay the same? Will the quantity of concerts he attends increase, decrease, or, stay the same?
Q.3. Suppose a student has monthly income of Rs 10,000. He consumes only two commodities Sandwich and Shawarma. The cost of Sandwich is Rs 50 each, and the cost of Shawarma is Rs 100 each.a) Draw the student’s budget constraint. What is the slope of his budget constraint? b) Suppose student gets a raise, so his income increases from Rs 10,000 to Rs 12,000. Show what happens to consumer optimal consumption choice if both Sandwich and Shawarmaare normal goods. Now show what happens if Sandwich is an inferior good.c) Suppose consumer income decreases to Rs. 8,000. Show what happens if both Shawarmaand Sandwich are normal goods. Now show what happens if Sandwich is an inferior good.

Can you please solve 8 e knowing that the awnser to 8 d is found written below. Please also see attached question Awnser to 8d: U = (X1)^(1/2)*(X2)^(1/3) We have budget constraint as, m = P1*X1+P2*X2 Let's set up the Lagrange maximizing function as below. L = U(X1, X2) - λλ(P1X1+P2X2-m) L = (X1)^(1/2)*(X2)^(1/3)- λλ(P1X1+P2X2-m) Finding first order condition, dL/dX1 = (0.5)*(X2)^(1/3)/(X1)^(1/2)-λλP1 dL/dX2 = (1/3)*(X1)^(1/2)/(X2)^(2/3)-λλP2 Equating these equations to zero to get, (0.5)*(X2)^(1/3)/(X1)^(1/2)-λλP1 = 0 (1/3)*(X1)^(1/2)/(X2)^(2/3)-λλP2 = 0 (0.5)*(X2)^(1/3)/(X1)^(1/2)/P1 = (1/3)*(X1)^(1/2)/(X2)^(2/3)/P2 (3/2)*(X2/X1) = P1/P2 X1 = (1.5P2*X2)/P1 dL/dλλ = P1X1+P2X2-m=0 P1X1+P2X2 = m P1*(1.5P2*X2)/P1+P2X2=m 2.5*P2X2=m X2 = 0.4*m/P2 X1 = 0.6*m/P1 Hence, Marshallian demand function for good q and good 2 respectively are X1 = 0.4*m/P1 X2 = 0.6*m/P2

You have the Cobb-Douglas utility function u(x,y) = xy over apples (x) and plums (y) and you have $120 budget to spend and can carry at most 480 ounces in weight in your backpack going back to the dorm. Each apple costs $1 and weighs 8 ounces, and each plum costs $3 and weighs 4 ounces. You can only leave the store with a bundle of fruits you can afford and carry. (a) Drawing the relevant lines, intercepts, marking the points and hence identifying the feasible set of bundles, calculate the optimal bundle. (b) Forget about (a). If you were to choose a backpack before going on this shopping trip, for the weight constraint not to be an issue for you, how many ounces of weight capacity would you need for your backpack? HINT: That is, for this weight capacity of the backpack, you’d be able to carry the best bundle you can afford, i.e, the weight constraint is not binding for your decision. ( c) Forget about (b). In (a), just before going out for shopping with your backpack to buy the…
