1. An individual's budget Suppose Bob has a yearly budget of $120 to spend on oat milk and peanut butter. Oat milk is priced at $2 per quart, and peanut butter is priced at $6 per jar. If Bob spends his entire $120 on oat milk, he can buy jars of peanut butter. Use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Bob's budget constraint on the following graph. Next, use the orange point (square symbol) to shade the area that represents combinations of oat milk and peanut butter that are affordable for Bob. Finally, place the black point (plus symbol) on the point on Bob's budget constraint that corresponds to a scenario in which Bob spends $60 on each good. Note: Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes. PEANUT BUTTER (Jars) 120 110 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 0 10 20 30 + 40 50 60 70 OAT MILK (Quarts) quarts of oat milk.

Luke has a monthly income of $80. He spends this money making telephone calls from home (measured in minutes of calls) and on other goods. His mobile phone company offers him two plans: Plan A: Pay no monthly fee and make calls for $0.50 per minute. Plan B: Pay a $30 monthly fee and make calls for $0.1 per minute. Graph Luke’s budget constraint under each of the two plans.
Antonio buys five new college textbooks during his first year at school at a cost of $80 each. Used books cost only $50 each. When the bookstore announces that there will be a 50 percent increase in the price of new books and a 50 percent increase in the price of used books, Antonio's father offers him $200 extra. What happens to Antonio's budget line? 1.) Using the line drawing tool, graph Antonio's original budget line. Label this line L₁. 2.) Using the line drawing tool, then graph Antonio's new budget line. Label this line L₂. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects.

Ravi has £21 to spend on pastries and biscuits. If he spends all the money on pastries, he can afford 15 pastries. The slope of Ravi’s budget line (assuming his pastries consumption is measured on the horizontal axis and his biscuits consumption is measured on the vertical axis) is -3.5 (3.5 in absolute terms). Calculate the price of a pastry and the price of a biscuit. Write down Ravi’s budget equation and draw the corresponding budget line. Mark the consumption bundle mentioned above. In your graph, clearly label the axes, the budget line, and calculate the coordinates of the points of intersection of the budget line with each axis. Interpret each of those points. Discuss how Ravi’s budget set would change if his budget doubles. Show the relevant changes graphically. How could the price of a pastry increase so that Ravi could still afford to buy 15 pastries? Discuss how Ravi’s budget constraint would change if the government imposed a tax of £0.50 per pastry and £0.50 per biscuit.
7) A consumer has to choose the optimal amount of cheese and crackers to purchase. He or she has drawn his or her budget constraint (BC) and indifference curves on a graph with the amount of cheese (in ounces) on the horizontal axis and the amount of crackers (in packages) on the vertical axis. Which of the following statements is true if the price of crackers declines? The BC shifts to the left (down). The BC shifts to the right (up). The BC rotates such that it intersects the horizontal axis at the same point as before and intersects the vertical axis at a lower point. The BC rotates such that it intersects the horizontal axis at the same point as before and intersects the vertical axis at a higher point.

Suppose that a household has a weekly budget of $200 a week for its weekly shopping trip when it spends its weekly budget on toilet paper priced at $0.50 per roll and other goods. a. Draw a large diagram showing the household's weekly budget constraint for rolls of toilet paper and $ of other goods. Label the axes, the intercepts, the budget constraint and give the diagram a title. b. If the toilet paper and other goods are perfect complements and the household is observed to buy 24 rolls of toilet paper per week, draw an indifference curve that indicates this situation. Label the household's demands for toilet paper rolls and other goods and its indifference curve. C. Suppose a quota is introduced limiting purchases of toilet paper to 12 rolls per weekly shop. On the diagram from a. and b., draw the household's budget constraint and the highest indifference curve the household can reach. Label the household's budget constraint, demand for toilet paper rolls and other goods and the…

Suppose Lorenzo has a weekly budget of $48 to spend on ranch dressing and peanut butter. Ranch dressing is priced at $4 per bottle, and peanut butter is priced at $6 per jar. If Lorenzo spends his entire $48 on ranch dressing, he can buy jars of peanut butter. buy Use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Lorenzo's budget constraint on the following graph. Next, use the orange point (square symbol) to shade the area that represents combinations of ranch dressing and peanut butter that are affordable for Lorenzo.

Describe and graph your own example of a budget constraint using two goods (don’t forget to label your axes). In your example, make sure to state what the budget is, the price of the two goods, what the slope of the budget constraint equals (make sure to include the correct sign), and interpret what the slope represents.
Henry has $450 to spend on movies and concerts. Suppose the price of a movie ticket is $15 and the price of a concert ticket is $90. Draw Henry's budget line. Your graph should include labels for your axes, and you should note the quantities at which the budget line meets each axis. Label Henry's budget line "BL" Next, suppose that the price of concert tickets drops to $75. Draw Henry's new budget line, and label it 'BL2'.
