What is your own understanding of the Budget Constraint?
What is a budget constraint? A consumer has an income of $3000. Soda costs $3 per liter and cheese costs $6 per pound. Draw the consumer's budget constriaint with soda on the vertical axis. What is the slope of the budget constraint?
suppose you have a fixed income of $3000 per month and you want to allocate your budget between two products: X and Y. Let's say the price of good x is $10 per unit, and the price of good y is $20 per unit. What is the budget constraint? Draw it on a graph and label the intercepts and the slope.

They want to spend this income on two goods: books and movies. The price of a book is $10, and the price of a movie ticket is $20. The budget constraint equation represents all the combinations of books (B) and movies (M)that the consumer can purchase with their income. The equation is: 10B + 20M = 200 Where: (10) is the price of one book. (B) is the quantity of books. (20) is the price of one movie ticket. (M) is the quantity of movie tickets. (200) is the total income. What is the slope of the budget line? Question 26Answer a. 2.0 b. 0.75 c. 1.5 d. 0.5arrow_forward
