Suppose Matt’s income is $120. He plans to spend it on two goods bread and avacado. Prices are: Pb = $4 per loaf of bread, Pa = $1 per avocado If Matt spends all his income on loafs of bread, how many does he buy? If Matt spends all his income on avocadoes, how many does he buy? If Matt buys 10 loaf of bread, how many avocados can he buy? Plot each of the bundles from parts A – C on a graph that measures avocadoes on the horizontal axis and loaves of bread on the vertical axis, connect the dots to find Matt’s budget constraint. Show what happens to the budget constraint if his income falls to $100, (prices do not change). Show what happens to the budget constraint if price of avocado rises to Pa = $2 per avocado, (income and price of loaves of bread did not change).
Eren’s two main hobbies are taking vacations overseas (V) and eating expensive meals (M). His utility function is given as: U(V,M) = V^2MLast year, the average price of taking a vacation overseas was US$200 and the average price of an expensive meal is $50. However, due to supply problems in Onions, the average price of an expensive meal rose to $75. The average price of a vacation did not change. His income, which is $1500, did not change. Suppose that the Department of Welfare wants to know how much should be given to Eren to offset his change un utility due to the price increase of an expensive meal. Calculate the compensative variation (CV).
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 that initially, bread is $2 per loaf,and cake is $2 per slice. Marie Antoinettehas $18 to spend on these items each week.At this income and those prices, Marie consumes 5 loaves of bread and 4 slices of cake.Then, the price of bread DECREASES to$1 per loaf. (The price of cake is still $2.)IF Marie’s budget had also fallen to $13so that she could still just afford her original bundle, she WOULD choose to spendthose $13 on 7 loaves of bread and 3 slicesof cake.But since Marie still has her original $18budget, she actually chooses to buy 4loaves of bread and 7 slices of cake afterthe price change.When the price of bread fell from $2 to $1,what was the substitution effect on Marie’sdemand for bread?
