How many units of the two products will the consumer buy?
Suppose one have a budget of $1000. The price of one unit of X is $20 and the price of one Unit of Y Is $10 If X provides one utility and Y gives one disutility, what is the equilibrium amount of X and Y for the consumer! Explain your answer with graph!
A consumer sets themselves a weekly budget of $15 for vegetables. They only eat carrots and peas. Peas cost $1.50 per pound and carrots cost $1.00 per pound.
2. Draw a budget line for the consumer showing his possible weekly consumption of peas and carrots. Label both axes with numbers and an axis title. Add a second line that shows what happens when carrots go on sale for $0.75 per pound. Upload your diagram.
Please give typed answer ASAP with proper explanation of it. Will give you thumbs up only for the correct answer. Thank you .

Draw the consumer’s budget constraint (put mask on the horizontal axis). What is the slope of this budget constraint? Suppose his income increases from $15,000 to $20,000. Illustrate what happens if both masks and sanitizers are normal goods. Illustrate what happens if a mask is an inferior good. The price of masks rises from $35 to $40 per mask, while the price of sanitizers is unchanged. For a consumer with constant income of $15,000, show what happens to consumption of both goods (assume both goods are normal goods). Decompose the change into income and substitution effects. Under what circumstance(s) if any can an increase in the price of sanitizers induce a consumer to buy more of that good? Explain. Explain how a consumer should allocate expenditure in order to achieve maximum satisfaction and analyse how a rise in income might affect that allocation.
