A consumer has two goods in his consumption bundle: bread and coffee. The current price of bread is $3.00 per loaf and the price of coffee is $6.00 per cup. (enter your response round to one or two decimal places as appropriate). What is the relative price of bread to coffee? (bread per unit of coffee)? Suppose that the price of bread increases by 10% and the price of coffee increases by 20% The relative price (bread per unit of coffee) has Based on the substitution effect, we would expect our consumer to buy relatively more bread, relatively more coffee or make no change to this consumption bundle?

7) A consumer has to choose the optimal amount of cheese and crackers to purchase. He or she has drawn his or her budget constraint (BC) and indifference curves on a graph with the amount of cheese (in ounces) on the horizontal axis and the amount of crackers (in packages) on the vertical axis. Which of the following statements is true if the price of crackers declines? The BC shifts to the left (down). The BC shifts to the right (up). The BC rotates such that it intersects the horizontal axis at the same point as before and intersects the vertical axis at a lower point. The BC rotates such that it intersects the horizontal axis at the same point as before and intersects the vertical axis at a higher point.

Charlie eats only pizzas and fruit salads which are discrete goods. Each pizza has 1000kcal, and each fruit salads has 250kcal. The price of one fruit salad is £3, and the price of a pizza is £8. Charlie spends his entire budget on consumption and eats everything that he buys. He consumes no less than 1600 kcal per week and no more than 2500 kcal per week. Which of the following is true? a. His income must be between £16 and £30. b. He always spends at least half of his income on pizzas. c. He eats at least one pizza per week. d. He eats at least 2 fruit salads per week.

Using the midpoint method, if the price of an airline ticket from San Diego to Kansas City changes from $274 to $670, what is the percentage change in price? The price of an airline ticket from San Diego to Kansas City changes by percent. [Enter your answer in percent, rounded to two decimals.)
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'.
Sienna gets a total of 20 utils per week from her consumption of pizza and a total of 40 utils per week from her consumption of yogurt. The price of pizza is $1 per slice, the price of yogurt is $1 per cup, and she consumes 10 slices of pizza and 20 cups of yogurt each week. Which of the following statements is correct regarding Sienna's current consumption of pizza and yogurt? Sienna should eat more yogurt and less pizza, as she is getting more utils from the $20 spent on yogurt than from the $10 spent on pizza. Sienna should eat more pizza and less yogurt, as she is getting more utils from her last dollar spent on pizza than her last dollar spent on yogurt. We cannot determine if Sienna is maximizing her total utility with the information provided. Sienna should eat more yogurt and less pizza, as she is getting more utils from her last dollar spent on yogurt than her last dollar spent on pizza.
Gabriel has a weekly income (N) of $50, which he uses to purchase cupcakes (C) and tea (7). The price of a cupcake is $1, and the price of tea is $2.50. Suppose Gabriel's income increases to $100, and the prices of both cupcakes and tea remain unchanged. Given this income change, one would expect Gabriel's budget line to: O shift to the right. shift to the left. rotate around the tea axis point. not be affected.
