Given the preceding graph and knowing the price of a latte is $4, Neha's available income for lattes and scones is $ Using the income amount you just computed, complete the following table by finding the price of a scone when BC, represents Neha's budget constraint and when BC2 represents her budget constraint. Then indicate the quantity of scones consumed in each of those scenarios. Price Consumption When Neha's budget constraint is... (Dollars per scone) (Scones) BC1 BC2

Suppose Lorenzo has a weekly budget of $48 to spend on ranch dressing and peanut butter. Ranch dressing is priced at $4 per bottle, and peanut butter is priced at $6 per jar. If Lorenzo spends his entire $48 on ranch dressing, he can buy jars of peanut butter. buy Use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Lorenzo'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 peanut butter that are affordable for Lorenzo. Finally, place the black point (plus symbol) on the point on Lorenzo's budget constraint that corresponds to a scenario in which Lorenzo spends $24 on each good.

The following diagram shows two of Megan's indifference curves for going to ballgames and symphonies. With Megan's initial budget constraint (BC), she chose to go to five symphonies and three baseball games per month (point X). Then her budget constraint shifted to BC, and she chose to go to four symphonies and six ballgames per month (point Y), SEOTING 2 4 SYMPHONIES BC

By definition, a budget constraint shows the consumption bundles that a consumer can afford. Assume that a college student spends her income on Mc-cheese and CD's. The price of one box of Mc-cheese is $1.00 and the price of one CD is $10.0 . If she has $90 of income, she could choose to consume : a- 10 boxes and 9 CDs b- 30 boxes and 7 CDs c- 25 boxes and 6 CDs d- 25 boxes and 8CDS

pats >125 per week to spend on peanut butter and carrots in the fixed ratio of 1 pound of peanut butter to 4 pounds of carrots. Peanut butter costs $1 per pound and carrots cost $0.5 per pound Suppose the price of carrots were to rise from $05 to $1 per pound. By how much will Tom have to reduce his consumption of carrots

Bill's monthly budget constraint C Number of black beans per month Refer to Figure Bill's budget constraint is AC. His budget constraint would shift to AB if the price of Select one: http a. black beans increased. hp Number of bell peppers per month

Mika earns $235 per week which she spends entirely at the grocery store, purchasing either food or alcohol The price of food is $1/unit, while the price of alcohol is $7/unit. If Mika recnives an additional $76/week in food stamps that can only be used to buy food at the grocery store so, this money could be used to buy food but NOT alcohol), what is the slope of Mka's budget constraint at the point where the constraint intenects the horizontalaxis, were she to graph quantity of food on the horizontal axis and quantity of alcohol on the vertical axis? (Note: The anawer may not be a whole rumber, so round to the nearest hundredth) (Note The numbers may change between questions, so read carefully

8. Fabian consumes X and Y and the following utility function represents his utility: U = 2XY a. With a utility function of U = 2XY, Fabian's MU, = 2Y and his MU, = 2x ,where MU is marginal utility. Write an equation for Fabian's marginal rate of substitution (MRS). b. Suppose Fabian's income is $120 and Px = S6 and Py-$2, where Px is the price of X and Py is the price of Y. Write an equation for Fabian's budget constraint. c. Write the equation that equates the slope of Fabian's budget constraint to the slope of Fabian's indifference curve: d. If Fabian is spending all of his income, how much X and how much Y will he choose? Use the equations you wrote in part's b and c to answer this question. e. What will Fabian's utility be with this combination of X and Y? f. Now suppose the price of X increases to P.=10. Write the equation that equates the slope of Fabian's budget constraint to the slope of Fabian's indifference curve. How will this change the optimal combination of X and Y? What…

Question 4 Naomi's expenditure function defined for a month for two commodities, Cassava (Q₁) and Banana (Q₂) is given by: 1. 11. Where P₁ is the price of Cassava (P₁>0), P2 is the price of banana (P₂ >0) and U is the fixed utility. The income of Naomi is m, where m > 0. Derive the indirect utility function for Naomi (Hint: Use the duality conditions) Using the Shephard's Lemma condition, derive Naomi's Hicksian demand function for Cassava (Q₁). iii. H IV. [125P,PU3 8 Using the Roy's identity, derive Naomi's Marshallian demand function for Banana (Q₂). Using the answer in (i), evaluate Naomi's maximum utility level when the price per tuber of Cassava is 5 cedis, the price per finger of banana is 10 cedis and her income is 250 cedis.
