- Sharmila has no other source of income except for her job at a cozy restaurant in a well-known university that pays Rp.5/hour. Since she is such a good worker, her boss lets her choose how many hours she wants to work each week as long as it is between one and 20 hours. (a) Graph Sharmila’s weekly budget constraint. (b) How many hours must Sharmila work to cover her weekly rent and food expenses which total Rp.75/week? (c) If Sharmila get a raise to Rp.7.5/hour but chooses to still work only enough to cover her rent and food expenses, now how many hours must she work?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…Q-4 Suppose that Kaleed’s income 1800 RO. And he purchased 30 units of goods y that cost 30 RO per unit.

- The U.S. government spends over $74 billion on its Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to provide millions of Americans with the means to purchase food. Beneficiaries use an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card to transfer their government benefits from a federal account to a retailer account. The funds on an EBT card cannot be sold for cash or used to purchase nonfood items. The average SNAP benefit is about $284 per month. Suppose that, in the absence of SNAP, the average consumer must divide $600 in monthly income between food and “all other goods” such that the following budget constraint holds: $600 = $12A + $4F, where A is the quantity of “all other goods” and F is the quantity of food purchased. Using the vertical axis for “all other goods,” draw the consumer’s budget line in the absence of SNAP. What is the market rate of substitution between food and “all other goods”? On the same graph, show how SNAP alters the average consumer’s budget line. Would this…You have the following observations about a consumer's purchase choices of two commodities, 1 and 2: When the prices were ($3,$6) consumer purchases bundle A = (2, 5). When the prices were ($7, $3) consumer purchases bundle C = (3, 5) You did not observe when consumer purchases Bundle B = (4, 4) . a. Compute the cost of each bundle A, B, C given each price pair.

- Question Earlier this year, 2021, the price of chicken meat rose unexpectedly reached to 250/ kilo at peak from the previous price of 170/ kilo. This 68% increase of price per kilo was primarily caused by excess demand for chicken meat. This is the result of the decrease in consumption for pork meat due to the threat of African Swine Flu (ASF). However, even though consumer shifted preferences, the increase in the price of chicken was perceived to be too high for the budget of consumers. Therefore, sellers realized decrease in their daily aggregate sales from 1,000 kilos to 700 kilos. 1. Illustrate the change in the market equilibrium through a graph. 2. What presumably happened to the total revenues of the sellers during the price hike period? a.) Compute the price elasticity of demand b.) Derive the total revenue before the hike (TR1), and after the hike (TR2).Consider Alexei who makes $1,400 per week and just won a ‘set for life’ lottery ticket whichinvolves a fortnightly payment of $10,000 for 20 years.
