Brenda wants to buy a new car and has a budget of $24,000. She has just found a magazine that assigns each car an index for styling and an index for gas mileage. Each index runs from 0 to 12, with 12 representing either the most styling or the best gas mileage. While looking at the list of cars, Brenda observes that on average, as the style index increases by one unit, the price of the car increases by $2,000. She also observes that as the gas-mileage index rises by one unit, the price of the car increases by $4,000. (a) Illustrate (for yourself) the various combinations of gas mileage (G) and style (S) that Brenda could select with her $24,000 budget. Place gas mileage on the horizontal axis. • Her budget line is given by 4,000*G + [ Select ] *S= [ Select ] • The X-intercept of her budget line is equal to [ Select ] • The Y-intercept of her budget line is equal to [ Select ]
Megan likes to eat toast with hazelnut spread and drink wine. She enjoys these items in very specific proportions: For every piece of toast with hazelnut spread she eats, she drinks exactly one glass of wine, and vice versa. Megan can purchase the hazelnut spread for her toast in two jar sizes: 20 ounces and 40 ounces. Megan cares only about the total amount of hazelnut spread she has available and not at all about the jar size. In other words, she's just as happy with two 20-ounce jars as she is with one 40-ounce jar. In this scenario, toast with hazelnut spread and glasses of wine are Two possible bundles of toast with hazelnut spread and glasses of wine are shown on the following graph, labeled A and B. Using three purple points (diamond symbol), plot Megan's indifference curve that passes through point A (11). Then, using three orange points (square symbol), plot Megan's indifference curve that passes through point B (I2). Hint: To plot both indifference curves, place one point on…
