8. Normal and inferior goods Antonio likes going to the ballpark to watch baseball, and he also is fond of going to the theater to listen to the symphony orchestra. The following diagram shows two of Antonio's indifference curves for going to ballgames and symphonies. With Antonio's initial budget constraint (BC1), he chose to go to four symphonies and six baseball games per month (point X). Then his budget constraint shifted to BC2, and he chose to go to five symphonies and three ballgames per month (point Y). BALLGAMES 3 8 10 0 4 5 SYMPHONIES BC 8 BC 10 ? Of the following choices, which could have shifted Antonio's budget constraint from BC₁ to BC2? Check all that apply. His income increased while the prices of baseball and symphony tickets stayed the same. The prices of both baseball and symphony tickets increased while his income stayed the same. His income decreased while the prices of baseball and symphony tickets stayed the same. normal The price of symphony tickets increased…

PLEASE HELP ME ANSWER IT AS FAST AS YOU CAN Hanan consumes two fruits: bananas (B) and apples (A). She has decided that her monthly budget for fruit will be 25 KD. Suppose that one banana costs 0.25 KD (250 Fils), while one apple costs 0.10 KD (100 Fils). a. State Hanan’s budget constraint. b. Draw a graph of Hanan’s budget line. Place the number of units of bananas on the vertical axis and the number of units of apples on the horizontal axis. c. Show graphically how Hanan’s budget line changes under the following scenarios:i. If the price of apples increases to 0.20 KD (200 Fils).ii. If the price of bananas decreases to 0.05 KD (50 Fils). iii. If her income increases to 50 KD.iv. If Hanan decides to cut her monthly budget for fruit in half and notices that bananas and apples are on sale for half price.
Question No. 5| Hafidh's income is $200 a month. The price of watch is $25 a show, and the price of a Jeans is $15. a) Calculate the equation for Hafidh's budget line b) Draw a graph of Hafidh's budget line with the quantity of Watches on the x-axis. c) If Hafidh's income increased from $200 to 350$.

. Kawther’s income is OMR12 a week. The price of small-sized pizza is OMR3, and the price of a fresh juice is OMR3. Calculate the equation for Kawther’s budget line and illustrate all options on the table. Draw a graph of Kawther’s budget line with the quantity of fresh juice on the x-axis. Kawther’s income is OMR12 a week. The price of small-sized pizza rises from OMR3 to OMR6, and the price of a fresh juice is unchanged at OMR3. Explain how Kawther’s budget line changes with fresh juice on the x-axis.
The principle of diminishing marginal utility says that people don't enjoy consuming more of a good. True or False and Explain the choice
Suppose that with a budget of $210, Fatima spends $126 on sushi and $84 on bagels when sushi costs $2 per piece and bagels cost $2 per bagel. Then, after the price of bagels falls to $1 per bagel. Instructions: Enter your answers as a whole number. How many pieces of sushi and how many bagels did Fatima consume before the price change? pieces of sushi and bagels At the new prices, how much money would it have cost Fatima to buy those same quantities (that is, the quantities that she consumed before the price change)? Given that it used to take Fatima's entire $210 to buy those quantities, how big is the income effect caused by the lower price of bagels?
Pam has a monthly budget of £120 to be spent on T-shirts and trainers. She could afford to buy two T-shirts and two pairs of trainers. She could also buy eight T-shirts. In each case, she would be spending her entire monthly allowance. Calculate the price of a T-shirt and the price of a pair of trainers. Write down Pam’s budget equation and draw the corresponding budget line. Mark the two consumption bundles 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 Pam’s budget set would change if the price of a T-shirt doubles. Show the relevant changes graphically. How should Pam’s income change so that she could still afford to buy two T-shirts and two pairs of trainers? Discuss how Pam’s budget constraint would change if the government imposed a tax of £3 per each pair of trainers.
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. Graph Luke’s budget constraint under each of the two plans.
Carlos is originally consuming his optimal consumption bundle of cell phones and gasoline when the price of gasoline falls. Assume that both gasoline and cell phones are normal goods. How will a decrease in the price of gasoline affect your consumption of cell phones and gasoline? Explain using the substitution and income effects.
7. MRS and utility maximization Suppose your classmate Felix loves to eat dessert-so much so that he allocates his entire weekly budget to apple crisp and pie. The price of one bowl of apple crisp is $1.75, and the price of a piece of coconut crème pie is $7.00. At his current level of consumption, Felix's marginal rate of substitution (MRS) of apple crisp for pie is 5. In other words, Felix is willing to sacrifice five bowls of apple crisp for one piece of pie per week. Does Felix's current consumption bundle maximize his utility? That is, does it make him as well off as possible? If not, how should he change it to maximize his utility? Felix could increase his utility by buying more apple crisp and less pie per week. Felix could increase his utility by buying less apple crisp and more pie per week. Felix's current bundle maximizes his utility, and he should keep it unchanged.
Gabriella obtains utility from consuming granola bars and cappuccino. The following table shows the total utility (TU) she obtains from consuming different amounts of the two goods. The price of a granola bar is $3 and the price of a cup of cappuccino is $2. She has allocated $9 to spend on granola bars and cappuccino. 1. Complete the table by calculating the marginal utility (MU) and the MU per dollar spent on each granola bar and cup of cappuccino. 2. What is Gabriella’s optimal consumption bundle of granola bars and cups of cappuccino?
