3. Akua is a School of Agriculture graduate and consumes 2 goods: Yoghurt and Bread. Akua also earns a typical student income from the parents, GHS 400 a month. She can either spend it all on Yoghurts and get 50, or she can spend it all on Bread and get 200 loaves. a. Given this information, construct the equation for Akua's Budget Line. b. The following are the bundles that Akua can afford with her income: Yoghurt 10 Bread 80 20 Fill the blanks in the table with the quantities that will exhaust Akua's income. c. Akua gets a research grant and her income increases to GHS 800 per month. What is the new equation of her budget line? What if income stays constant at GHS 400 and the price of Yoghurts increase to GHS10? d. Assume that prices are the same as used in part a. If the marginal utility of a Yoghurt is 20, what is the marginal utility of Bread if she is maximizing her utility? e. Now assume that Yoghurt and Bread are compliments for Akua. For her to consume all her income of GHS 400, and the prices used in part a. What if Yoghurt is so SOUR that Akua needs 2 loaves of bread for every Yoghurt that she consumes?

By definition, a budget constraint shows the consumption bundles that a consumer can afford. Assume that a college student spends her income on Mc-cheese and CD's. The price of one box of Mc-cheese is $1.00 and the price of one CD is $10.0 . If she has $90 of income, she could choose to consume : a- 10 boxes and 9 CDs b- 30 boxes and 7 CDs c- 25 boxes and 6 CDs d- 25 boxes and 8CDS
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'.

This question concerns a person in an economy in which they only consumetwo commodities, coffee and cake. This person always consumes thesecommodities together in a fixed ratio; whenever they drink a cup of coffee, theyeat a single cake.This person has a budget of £99 to spend on coffee and cake. a. Price of coffee is £2 and the price of a cake is £1. ii. Price of coffee is £8 and the price of a cake is £1 iii. Price of coffee is £10 and the price of a cake is £1. b.
