Kindly answer, thanks!
Caroline recently moved to San Francisco, where they developed a taste for drinking Americanos and eating danishes. Assume throughout this problem that the price of an Americano is held constant at $4. On the following graph, the purple curves (₁ and ₂) describe two of Caroline's indifference curves. The lines BC, and BC₂ represent two budget constraints. Points X and Y show Caroline's optimal consumption bundles subject to the budget constraints. AMERICANOS 18 16 4 2 0 D 10 DANISHES 12 14 16 18 20 ? Given the preceding graph and knowing the price of an Americano is $4, Caroline's available income for Americanos and danishes is $ Using the income amount you just computed, complete the following table by finding the price of a danish when BC₁ represents Caroline's budget constraint and when BC₂ represents her budget constraint. Then indicate the quantity of danishes consumed in each of those scenarios. Price When Caroline's budget constraint is... (Dollars per danish) BC₁ BC₁₂…
Can you help me answer this macroeconomics theory question
Assume that you are on an island where there are only two commodities—coconuts and pineapples—and you can spend your income only on these two foods. If the price of coconuts is Pc and the price of pineapples is Pp and your income is I, draw a budget constraint, carefully labelling the points on the two axes and where the attainable and unattainable portions of consumption are. Note: you can choose any Pc and Pp that you like—they do not have to be equal. What is the slope of this budget constraint? What is the economic interpretation of the slope? Now, let’s bring a little more structure to this diagram. Let I=£200, Pc=£1 per coconut and Pp=£2 per pineapple. Draw a new diagram using these numbers. Consider these questions: How many coconuts can you buy if you do not buy any pineapples? How many pineapples can you buy if you do not buy any coconuts? What is the slope and what economic information does it give us? Show the point of 100 coconuts and 100 pineapples on your diagram. Can…

Suppose that there are two goods, gl and g2, that Jane consumes. Demand functions for these two goods are given as follows: gl * = gl(pg1), pg2 ,Inc) g2 * = g2(pg1), pg2 ,Inc) where pg1, pg2 ,Inc refer prices of the goods and income, respectively. Explain and demonstrate (on the graph) the substitution and income effect for both an increase and decrease in price good g1. Use the notations given in the question.
Utility maximization under constraint, substitution and income effect, CV and EV Josh gets utility (satisfaction) from two goods, A and B, according to the utility function U(A, B) = 4[A-4 + B-4-4 + 40. While Josh would like to consume as much as possible he is limited by his income. a. Maximize Josh's utility subject to the budget constraint using the Lagrangean method b. Suppose PA increases. Show graphically the income, substitution effect and total effect and explain c. Suppose PA increases. Show the graphs for CV and EV and explain. One graph for CV and one graph for EV
Please provide an explanation. Thanks note: slope must be negative

Question attahed in image
There are two goods, X and Y, available in arbitrary non-negative quan- tities (so the consumption set is R²). Beenish has preferences over consumption bundles that can be represented by a differentiable, strictly increasing and strictly quasi-concave utility function u R² → R+, given by u(x, y) = xªy¹-a where x is the quantity of good X, y is the quantity of good Y, and a € (0, 1) is a preference parameter. = 1. Suppose Beenish has 80 AED. In a nearby store (called "Store A"), the price of good X is p = 2 AED per unit of good X, and the price of good Y is q 8 AED per unit of good Y. However, Beenish also has a time constraint. At Store A, it takes tx 4 minutes per unit to purchase good X and ty 1 minutes per unit to purchase good Y. That means, purchasing a consumption bundle (x, y) = R² at Store A would take 4x + y minutes. Beenish has only 80 minutes to do her shopping. = (a) In an appropriate diagram, illustrate Beenish's constraint set, given that she has both a monetary…
