QUESTION 5 In a farmer's market, the price of tomatoes is $5/lb and the price of cucumber is $6/lb. The marginal rate of substitution of tomatoes for cucumber MRS=2C/3T in Bob's concumption bundle. What is the equilibrium ratio of cucmber (C) and tomatoes (T) in the consumption bundle? C/T=5/4 C/T=2/3 C/T=6/5 C/T=3/2 QUESTION 6 In a farmer's market, the price of tomatoes is $5/lb and the price of cucumber is $6/lb. The marginal rate of substitution of tomatoes for cucumber MRS=2C/3T in Bob's concumption bundle. Bob uses $20 to purchase tomatoes and cucumber. He will buy_ Ib tomatoes and Ib cucumber.
Graham brings $20 to his local college hockey game in order to purchase cheeseburgers and seltzer. The following diagram presents his budget constraint: CANS OF SELTZER 10 6 B 5 4 3 r 0 1 2 BC 4 5 6 CHEESEBURGERS 7 According to the diagram, cheeseburgers cost $ 8 9 10 BC each, and seltzer costs $ (?) per can. Adjust the diagram to show how Graham's budget constraint would change if the price of seltzer decreased. (Assume the price of cheeseburgers and Graham's income remain the same.) Note: Select either end of the curve on the graph to make the endpoints appear. Then drag one or both endpoints to the desired position. Points will snap into position, so if you try to move a point and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.
Matt has $19 in income that he devotes entirely towards caffeine purchases, specifically coffee and tea. Tea costs $3/cup and coffee costs $4/cup. Also, tea is subject to a quantity tax of $4/cup, and coffee is subject to a value tax of 0%. By how much will the slope of Matt's budget constraint change if his income were to increase from $19 to $37? (Note: I'm looking for the change in the slope, so subtract the old slope from the new slope to get your answer) (Note: The numbers change between questions, so read them carefully)
Matt has $14 in income that he devotes entirely towards caffeine purchases, specifically coffee and tea. Tea costs $4/cup and coffee costs $5/cup. Also, tea is subject to a quantity tax of $1/cup, and coffee is subject to a value tax of 0%. By how much will the slope of Matt's budget constraint change if his income were to increase from $14 to $37?
Marie has a weekly budget of $24, which she likes to spend on magazines and pies. Calculate: a) If the price of a magazine is $4 each, what is the maximum number of magazines she could buy in a week? b) If the price of a pie is $12, what is the maximum number of pies she could buy in a week? c) Draw Marie’s budget constraint with pies on the horizontal axis and magazines on the vertical axis. What is the slope of the budget constraint? d) What is Marie’s opportunity cost of purchasing a pie? NOTE: To answer this question simply work your answer in a piece of paper, take a photo of it and upload the file. Remember that this is a problem solving question, hence you must show your work!
