Students have asked these similar questions
b. A student has a monthly budget of $120 to spend
on either beer, which cost $6 each, or sodas, which
cost $4 each.
i. Find out the largest number of beers and the
largest number of sodas the student could
afford to purchase in one month?
ii. After buying 15 sodas, how many beers that
the student could afford to purchase in one
month?
iii. Plot each of the bundles from parts A-C on
a graph that measures Beers on the horizontal
axis and sodas on the vertical; connect the
dots.
iv. Show what happens to the budget constraint
if the price of sodas rises to = $5 per soda.
1. Using the consumer choice theory, explain
how an individual decides what combinations of
different products to buy.
Quantity
of cola
600
400
300
Quantity
of pizza
200
A consumer has a total budget of $800 to spend on pizza and cola.
1) Find the price of pizza and that of cola at the initial budget line. What is the slope of the initial budget line.
2) If the prices of the two goods remain the same, what is the new budget of the consumer? How does the consumption of the consumer change? What is the new slope of his
budget line?
