2. Zhoran has a budget of $36 for fruit. Strawberries cost $4 per pound and grapes cost $3 per pound. She likes both type of fruit and she has a diminishing marginal rate of substitution. (a) Draw a diagram illustrating Zhoran's budget constraint. Label both intercepts with their numerical values. What is the slope of her budget line? (b) Illustrate Zhoran's optimal combination of strawberries and grapes on your dia- gram. Any picture that is consistent with the facts described here is acceptable. Explain how your diagram demonstrates that the point you've chosen is the op- timal point for Zhoran.

1. Suppose you are considering to make a decent holiday dinner. In this year, to be creative, you are thinking to put Copper River Salmon from Alaska (fillet) and fresh Atlantic Lobsters from Maine as entrée on the table. Use the information given, to finish the questions below. (1) The table following provides you total utility (U) and marginal (MU) from consuming Salmon and Lobster. Suppose your total utility of Salmon consumption (U1) is a function of the units (Q as pound or lbs.) of salmon consumed, as U1 =. =/400Q. Similarly, your total utility of Lobster (U2) has the form as units (Q as lbs.) of lobster consumed, which is U2 = /36Q + 40. Now fill the empty spots in the table using the information given. Total utility and marginal utility of Salmon and Lobster. Copper River Salmon Atlantic Lobster Q (Ibs.)

Nick has $300 a month to spend on either detailing his sports car or buying bottles of good wine. It costs $100 to have his car detailed and a bottle of wine is $50. He currently buys four bottles of wine each month and has his car detailed once. If the price of car detailing decreases to $75, Nick's budget constraint will:
A consumer has $100 to spend on craft beer and Schweinefleischaft (pork shanks). Suppose craft beercosts $10 per 4-pack if the customer purchases up to five 4-packs. After that, it is $5 per 4-pack. SupposeSchweinefleischaft is $5 per order of pork shanks.(a) Draw the budget constraint for this consumer, with craft beer on the horizontal axis and Schweine-fleischaft on the vertical axis.(b) Will the consumer ever purchase exactly five 4-packs of craft beer? Explain why, using both thegraph in part (a) and words.
