3. Consider a world with only two commodities, burger and hot dog. Assume their prices are PB, PH and income is m. (a) Assuming PB = 3,Pµ = 12 and m = 125, draw Budget Constraint. (b) Brenda buys her commodities from a local shop. Due to its limited storage shop owner does not want to sell high amounts. So, Owner comes up with the following price schedule: If a buyer demands more than 5, for each additional unit price of the commodity x (B or H) becomes Px +1 dollar. Draw Brenda's new budget Constraint. (c) Assume Brenda's utility function is UBrenda (B, H) = -(B-5)² - (H-6)². Now, show her indifference curves and find her optimal bundle(s) for the given budget constraint in (b).

7. Bob receives utility from days spent traveling on vacation domestically (D) and daysspent traveling in a foreign country (F) as given by the utilityU(D; F) = DFThe price of a day spent traveling domestically is 160 pounds and in a foreigncountry 200 pounds. Bobís annual budget for traveling is 8000 pounds. (a) Find Bobís utility maximising choice of days traveling domestically and of daystravelling in a foreign country. Find also his utility level from consuming thatbundle. Suppose that the price of domestic traveling increases to 250 pounds per day.Denoting his budget for traveling x, (suppose by now that it is unknown) findthe demand for D and F under the new prices as a function of x.

(c) Does she exhibit diminishing MRS? (d) If she is indifferent between the bundles A = ( = = The more food she has, does she value food less relative to clothing?

4. Assume that the following graph show the indifference curve and budget line for a consumer who is choosing between "all other items" and "hand sanitizer". All other items A Hand sanitizer We know that the preferences and demand for hand sanitizer increased dramatically starting in mid-March 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. How would you show a change in preferences for hand sanitizer on the graph given above? Would the budget line change, or would the position of the indifference curve change? You may assume that income and prices of all other items and hand sanitizers did not change. Please give an explanation and show the changes on the graph.
A demand schedule A) shows how the demand changes when the supply changes. B) is a list of the quantities demanded at each different price when all other influences on buying plans remain the same. C) shows the quantity demanded at one price. O D) is a graph showing a relationship between the quantity demanded and the price of a good.
