A consumer has an income of $400 and is deciding between two products: X and Y. Assume that the X product is the horizontal axis product. The price of X is $10 and the price of Y is $2. Assume the consumer currently wants to consume 50 units of product Y to maximize his utility. a) Write out the equation to this consumers budget line. What is the slope to this budget constraint? b) How much of X and Y will the consumer consume to maximize his utility subject to his budget constraint. C) Now assume the price of X changes to $5 and price of Y and Income stays the same. At the new price, the consumer wants to buy 60 units of product X to maximize her utility given her budget. How much X and Y will the consumer consume to maximize utility. g in the before and after the change of the budget constraint and indifference graph on the same graph space.

If the consumer's budget constraint is given by 4P + 2B = 50 where P is Pizza and B is Burgers, the following bundles of Pizza and Burger would be on the budget constraint: P = 5; B = 10 P = 2; B = 21 P = 10; B = 20 %3D P = 2; B = 24
Andre has a salary of $1000. He spends his entire budget on shoes and beers. The cost for a pair of shoes is $15 and the cost for can of beer is $25. 1. Construct Andre’s budget constraint (place) beers on the y-axis 2. Suppose Andre’s salary rises by 25%. Also suppose that the price of shoes and beers each rise by 40%. Construct Andre’s new budget constraint. What is the difference between the new and old budget constraints?

Alice receives an allowance of 500 dollars that she spends on buying snacks (S) and tea (T). The price of each snack is 10 dollars and the price of each tea is 5 dollars. Her utility is given by: U (S, T) = 2S³/4 +T3/4 (a) Find her marginal rate of substitution (MRS) between S and T. (b) Write Alice's budget constraint. (c) Find Alice's optimal consumption and the optimal A. (d) What is her new consumption if the price of tea becomes 10 dollars? Note: numeric solutions for questions (c) and (d) are not integers.
Suppose the price of a donut is $2.50, the price of a cinnamon roll is $3.20, and the budget is $50. Donuts are on the x-axis and cinnamon rolls are on the y-axis. If the price of a donut increases to $3.30, what happens to the Budget Line? The budget line undergoes a parallel shift outward The budget lines undergoes a parallel shift inward The budget lines rotates outward The budget lines rotates inward

Mika earns $235 per week which she spends entirely at the grocery store, purchasing either food or alcohol The price of food is $1/unit, while the price of alcohol is $7/unit. If Mika recnives an additional $76/week in food stamps that can only be used to buy food at the grocery store so, this money could be used to buy food but NOT alcohol), what is the slope of Mka's budget constraint at the point where the constraint intenects the horizontalaxis, were she to graph quantity of food on the horizontal axis and quantity of alcohol on the vertical axis? (Note: The anawer may not be a whole rumber, so round to the nearest hundredth) (Note The numbers may change between questions, so read carefully
8. Fabian consumes X and Y and the following utility function represents his utility: U = 2XY a. With a utility function of U = 2XY, Fabian's MU, = 2Y and his MU, = 2x ,where MU is marginal utility. Write an equation for Fabian's marginal rate of substitution (MRS). b. Suppose Fabian's income is $120 and Px = S6 and Py-$2, where Px is the price of X and Py is the price of Y. Write an equation for Fabian's budget constraint. c. Write the equation that equates the slope of Fabian's budget constraint to the slope of Fabian's indifference curve: d. If Fabian is spending all of his income, how much X and how much Y will he choose? Use the equations you wrote in part's b and c to answer this question. e. What will Fabian's utility be with this combination of X and Y? f. Now suppose the price of X increases to P.=10.

John has $300 as income and he uses his income only for apples and bananas. If he uses his income only for apples, he can buy 10 pounds. If he uses his income only for bananas, he can buy 15 pounds. Which one is the correct formula for his budget constraint when X=pounds of apples, Y=pounds of bananas and the prices are per pound? a) More information is needed to answer the question. b) 15X + 10Y = 300 c) 10X + 15Y = 300 d) 20X + 30Y = 300 e) 30X + 20Y = 300
