Following exercise is requested:(a) Draw a budget line knowing that: nominal income is $100/week, price of lamb meat (Pm) is $2/kilo and price of housing (Ph) is $20/week. It is also known that ALL INCOME is spent on both goods.b) Assume now that monetary income remains CONSTANT, but price of lamb meat DOUBLES to $4/kilo, while the price of housing DECREASES to $10/week. Draw new budget line.
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?
Suppose that the consumption basket consists of gasoline, mugs, and movies. In the base month, consumers buy 20 litres of gasoline at $2 per litre, 2 mugs for $13 each, and 4 movie tickets for $7 each. In the next month, the price of gasoline is $2.25 per litre, mugs cost $12.50 each, and the price of a movie ticket is $7.50. The change in the consumer price level from the first to the second month is ______. a. –6%b. 6.4%c. 94%d. 1.1%
Draw a consumption function for an individual whereS=-250+0.3Y. Show the change that would result from an increase in Income.
Akua is a School of Agriculture graduate and consumes 2 goods: Yoghurt and Bread. Akua also earns a typical student income from the parents, GHS 400 a month. She can either spend it all on Yoghurts and get 50, or she can spend it all on Bread and get 200 loaves. (a) Assuming that Yoghurt and Bread are compliments for Akua, construct the equation for Akua’s Budget Line for her to consume all her income of GHS 400. (b) What if Yoghurt is so SOUR that Akua needs 2 loaves of bread for every Yoghurt that she consumes?
A typical consumer's "leisure basket" in the base year 2019 is as follows: 20 movie tickets $15.00 each 4 theme park tickets $80.00 each 30 swimming passes $10.00 each 2 interstate holidays $400 each 1 international holiday $2000 each The closure of international borders decreases demand for international holidays in 2020. This causes interstate holidays to rise in price to $800 each. The price of other items in the leisure basket are unchanged. a. Calculate the change (as a percentage) in the "leisure index" between 2019 and 2020. b. Suppose consumer preferences change in 2020 and they are completely indifferent between two interstate holidays and one international holiday. In this situation, how large is the substitution bias in the "leisure index"? c. Explain how biases in the "leisure index" create a difference between the price changes consumers experience and the price changes described by the "leisure index".
2. Gorgeousleny purchased a combination of 15 breads and 5 juices with her income of P150 and price of bread is P6 and price of juice is P12. She proudly showed this to her mom, and to her dismay her mom said that she likes more juices than bread since its summer season. While on her way home she lost the receipt, but fortunately she can still receive store credit based from the total value of products. While approaching the customer service representative , she thought of this what if she sticks with her original plan of buying bread alone with no juice and vice versa. At the moment all juices in the store is 50% off. Draw the graph showing the budget constraints arise from endowments. a. ) Measure the qty. of bread on the vertical axis and the qty. of juice on the horizontal axis. Label both graph with its corresponding points, pt. A for bread and point B for juice. the combination of bread and juice label it as point C. b.) For both graph, What is the slope from point C…
Suppose Marcus eats nothing but burritos for dinner. He buys 30 burritos each month. During the last couple of weeks, Marcus noticed a decrease in the price of burritos. The price of burritos fell from $6.00 per burrito last month to $5.75 per burrito this month. Assume that Marcus has a fixed income of $180 that he can spend on burritos. How many burritos can Marcus afford to buy at the new price of $5.75?
