- 1. An individual's budget Suppose Darnell has a weekly budget of $32 to spend on ranch dressing and spinach. Ranch dressing is priced at $4 per bottle, and spinach is priced at $2 per container. If Darnell spends his entire $32 on ranch dressing, he can buy 16 containers of spinach. 8 bottles of ranch dressing. If he spends his entire $32 on spinach, he can buy Use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Darnell's budget constraint on the following graph. Next, use the orange point (square symbol) to shade the area that represents combinations of ranch dressing and spinach that are affordable for Darnell. Finally, place the black point (plus symbol) on the point on Darnell's budget constraint that corresponds to a scenario in which Darnell spends $16 on each good. Note: Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes.Brenda wants to buy a new car and has a budget of $24,000. She has just found a magazine that assigns each car an index for styling and an index for gas mileage. Each index runs from 0 to 12, with 12 representing either the most styling or the best gas mileage. While looking at the list of cars, Brenda observes that on average, as the style index increases by one unit, the price of the car increases by $2,000. She also observes that as the gas-mileage index rises by one unit, the price of the car increases by $4,000. (a) Illustrate (for yourself) the various combinations of gas mileage (G) and style (S) that Brenda could select with her $24,000 budget. Place gas mileage on the horizontal axis. • Her budget line is given by 4,000*G + [ Select ] *S= [ Select ] • The X-intercept of her budget line is equal to [ Select ] • The Y-intercept of her budget line is equal to [ Select ]A student has a monthly budget of $120 to spend on either burritos, which cost $6 each, orsodas, which cost $4 each.What is the largest number of burritos that the student could afford to purchase in onemonth?What is the largest number of sodas the student could afford to purchase in one month?

- Luke has a monthly income of $80. He spends this money making telephone calls from home (measured in minutes of calls) and on other goods. His mobile phone company offers him two plans: Plan A: Pay no monthly fee and make calls for $0.50 per minute. Plan B: Pay a $30 monthly fee and make calls for $0.1 per minute. If Plan A is better for him, what is the set of baskets he may purchase if his behavior is consistent with utility maximization? Make sure that your answer is exact, using set notations and/or a clearly labeled graph.Louis is trying to decide what combination of cups and plates to buy. His budget is $12.

If she spends only half of her budget, she could only buy a set of groceries and could not afford any notebooks. Suppose Ginna's budget is £150. Her preferences for groceries (G) and notebooks (N) can be described by the following utility function: U(G, N) = 30G + 2N (MUG = 30, MUN = 2). a) Find Ginna's optimal consumption bundle. Provide both algebraic and graphical solution. Explain your reasoning. b) Discuss how the price of a notebook should change for Ginna to change her optimal consumption choice. c) If the price of a notebook increases by 50%, how should the price of the groceries drop so that Ginna can be as well off as before this change in prices? d) Discuss the implications of the price change from c) on Ginna's optimal choice. In your discussion, include the analysis of the substitution and income effects as well as Ginna's demand for groceries and/or notebooks.
