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).

Juanita is deciding whether to buy a skirt that she wants, as well as where to buy it. Three stores carry the same skirt, but it is more convenient for Juanita to get Disceunted prie to some stores than others.
