Question
- Plot each of the bundles from parts A – C on a graph that measures avocadoes on the horizontal axis and loaves of bread on the vertical axis, connect the dots to find Matt’s budget constraint.
- Show what happens to the budget constraint if his income falls to $100, (prices do not change).
- Show what happens to the budget constraint if
price of avocado rises to Pa = $2 per avocado, (income and price of loaves of bread did not change).

- Antonio buys five new college textbooks during his first year at school at a cost of $80 each. Used books cost only $50 each. When the bookstore announces that there will be a 50 percent increase in the price of new books and a 50 percent increase in the price of used books, Antonio's father offers him $200 extra. What happens to Antonio's budget line? 1.) Using the line drawing tool, graph Antonio's original budget line. Label this line L₁. 2.) Using the line drawing tool, then graph Antonio's new budget line. Label this line L₂. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects.

The price of business travel was initially $1,000 per trip and theprice of electronic media was $500 per hour.a) Graphically sketch Joy’s budget line. b) Graphically illustrate how a 20 percent decline in the price of business travel would impact Joy’s budget set.c) Suppose that, after the price of business travel drops, Joy’s marginal rate of substitution between electronic media and business travel -1. Is she allocating resources efficiently? Explain.arrow_forwardMatt 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?arrow_forward
- Ravi has £21 to spend on pastries and biscuits. If he spends all the money on pastries, he can afford 15 pastries. The slope of Ravi’s budget line (assuming his pastries consumption is measured on the horizontal axis and his biscuits consumption is measured on the vertical axis) is -3.5 (3.5 in absolute terms). Calculate the price of a pastry and the price of a biscuit. Write down Ravi’s budget equation and draw the corresponding budget line. Mark the consumption bundle mentioned above. In your graph, clearly label the axes, the budget line, and calculate the coordinates of the points of intersection of the budget line with each axis. Interpret each of those points. Discuss how Ravi’s budget set would change if his budget doubles. Show the relevant changes graphically. How could the price of a pastry increase so that Ravi could still afford to buy 15 pastries? Discuss how Ravi’s budget constraint would change if the government imposed a tax of £0.50 per pastry and £0.50 per biscuit.arrow_forwardDescribe and graph your own example of a budget constraint using two goods (don’t forget to label your axes). In your example, make sure to state what the budget is, the price of the two goods, what the slope of the budget constraint equals (make sure to include the correct sign), and interpret what the slope represents.arrow_forwardSarah likes basketball games and going to movies. Every month he has $480 to spend on the two activities. Ticket price of a basketball game is $15 and price of a ticket to movies is 12$. Write the budget constraint equation and draw the budget constraint for Sarah.arrow_forward
- Consumer choiceJo buys muffins and cupcakes at a bakery. Jo’s weekly budget for baked goods is $70. The priceof muffins is $1.25. The price of cupcakes is $1.75.a) Write down Jo’s budget constraint: express the quantity of cupcakes as a function of thequantity of muffins.arrow_forwardSuppose Sam has a weekly budget of $48 to spend on juice and yogurt. Juice is priced at $4 per gallon, and yogurt is priced at $2 per container. gallons of juice. If he spends his entire $48 on yogurt, he can buy containers of If Sam spends his entire $48 on juice, he can buy yogurt. Use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Sam's budget constraint on the following graph. Next, use the orange point (square symbol) to shade the area that represents combinations of juice and yogurt that are affordable for Sam. Finally, place the black point (plus symbol) on the point on Sam's budget constraint that corresponds to a scenario in which Sam spends $24 on each good.
