- Suppose you won $15 on a lotto ticket at the local 7-Eleven and decided to spend all the winnings on candy bars and bags of peanuts. The price of candy bars is $.75 and the price of peanuts is $1.50. Suppose that you had won $30 on your ticket, not $15. Show the $30 budget line in your diagram. Why would this budget line be preferable to the old one?Suppose you go to Trader Joe's to buy fruit for the week. You only like apples (A) and bananas (B) and your weekly fruit budget is $11. When you arrive at Trader Joe's you notice that the price of an apple is $1.00 and the price of a banana is $0.25. QUESTION #1: How many apples and bananas should you buy? QUESTION #2: When you have found the answer, draw a diagram that shows the outcome. Step #1. Determine your preferences. Let's suppose that your preferences can be represented by the following utility function: U(A, B) = AªBB = A0.40 B0.60 FYI: This utility function is known as a Cobb-Douglas utility function. It is the most commonly used function used in economics! The reason we like it so much is that it has: 1. Constant returns (double your consumption of A and B and your utility doubles); a + B = 1 2. Diminishing marginal utility (the extra utility gained from consuming A (or B) decreases as you consume more of the A good (or B good); a 0.40); B > a. Step #2: Determine your…Picture 1 : A college student has two options for meals: eating at the dining hall for $6 per meal, or eating a package of Cup O' Soup for $2 per meal. Her weekly food budget is $60. Assume that she spends equal amounts on both goods. On the following graph, use the green line (triangle symbol) to draw the college student's budget constraint. Then use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the initial optimum in this case. Picture 2 : Suppose the price of a Cup O' Soup now rises to $3. Assume that the student now spends only 20 percent of her income on dining hall meals. On the preceding graph, use the blue line (circle symbol) to draw the college student's new budget constraint. Then use the grey point (star symbol) to indicate the new optimum in this case. As a result of this price change, the quantity of Cup O' Soup packages consumed ( decreased , increase ) ? This means that Cup O' Soup must be (a normal , an inferior) ? good, and the income effect (…

- Suppose Kate has a weekly budget of $24 to spend on seltzer water and peanut butter. Seltzer water is priced at $2 per case, and peanut butter is priced at $6 per jar. If Kate spends her entire $24 on seltzer water, she can buy jars of peanut butter. Use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Kate's budget constraint on the following graph. Next, use the orange point (square symbol) to shade the area that represents combinations of seltzer water and peanut butter that are affordable for Kate. Finally, place the black point (plus symbol) on the point on Kate's budget constraint that corresponds to a scenario in which Kate spends $12 on each good.

There will be a parallel shift of the budget line away from the origin. b. There will be a parallel shift of the budget line towards the origin. c. There will be an outward shift of point A only. d. There will be an outward shift of point B only.Caroline has a $10 dessert budget that she uses to buy pie and cake. Assume the price of pie (Pp) is fixed at $2.
