2. Gorgeousleny purchased a combination of 15 breads and 5 juices with her income of P150 and
price of bread is P6 and price of juice is P12. She proudly showed this to her mom, and to her
dismay her mom said that she likes more juices than bread since its summer season. While on her
way home she lost the receipt, but fortunately she can still receive store credit based from the total
value of products. While approaching the customer service representative , she thought of this
what if she sticks with her original plan of buying bread alone with no juice and vice versa. At the
moment all juices in the store is 50% off. Draw the graph showing the budget constraints arise
from endowments.
a. ) Measure the qty. of bread on the vertical axis and the qty. of juice on the horizontal axis. Label
both graph with its corresponding points, pt. A for bread and point B for juice. the combination of
bread and juice label it as point C.
b.) For both graph, What is the slope from point C to point B?…

Description
Suppose that Lynn enjoys coconut oil in her coffee. She has very particular preferences, and she must have exactly two spoonfuls of coconut oil for each cup of coffee. Let C be the number of cups of coffee, and O be the number of spoonfuls of coconut oil. Also, let PC be the price of a cup of coffee. Suppose Lynn has $12 to spend on coffee and coconut oil. Also, the price of coconut oil is $.50 per spoonful.a) Graph Lynnâs Price Consumption Curve for prices, PC = $1, PC = $2, and PC = $3. Please put the number of cups of coffee on the horizontal axis, and the number of spoonfuls of coconut oil on the vertical axis. Be sure to label your graph carefully and accurately.b) Graph Lynnâs demand curve for coffee. You may assume that both coconut oil and coffee are continuous variables so she can consume any amount of coffee and coconut oil that she could afford.…

Suppose that the consumer pays no taxes and receives no nonwage income, and he or she is free to choose hours of work. a. Draw the consumer's budget constraint, and show his or her optimal choice of consumption and leisure. b. Show that the consumer would never work q hours, or anything very close to q hours.
