A consumer have budget amounting to $400 which he could spend on two goods such as ice cream at $25 and a slice of bread at $40. Assuming that the ice cream will be located aling the vertical axis, and bread slice along the horizontal axis, what is the opportunity cost of ice cream in terms of the bread? (How many slice of bread will be given up to gain a unit of ice cream?) Answer in absolute value.

1. An individual's budget Suppose Bob has a yearly budget of $120 to spend on oat milk and peanut butter. Oat milk is priced at $2 per quart, and peanut butter is priced at $6 per jar. If Bob spends his entire $120 on oat milk, he can buy jars of peanut butter. Use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Bob's budget constraint on the following graph. Next, use the orange point (square symbol) to shade the area that represents combinations of oat milk and peanut butter that are affordable for Bob. Finally, place the black point (plus symbol) on the point on Bob's budget constraint that corresponds to a scenario in which Bob spends $60 on each good.

1. Suppose you earn $1500 per week and you consume only two types of goods per week- sandwiches and orange juice, which you purchase at a mini mart. Each sandwich cost $150 and an orange juice is $75 per cup. a) Construct a table showing the alternative combinations of the two products that are available. b)Plot the data in your table on a budget line. What is the slope of the budget line? What is the opportunity cost of one more cup of orange juice? And what is opportunity cost of one more sandwich? Do these opportunity cost rise, fall or remain constant as you purchase an additional unit of the product? c)Suppose the price of a cup of orange juice increased to $150. Construct a new table showing alternative combinations of sandwiches and orange juice. Construct the new budget line.

Suppose you won $15 on a lotto ticket at the local 7-Eleven and decided to spend all the winnings on candy bars and bags of peanuts. Candy bars cost $0.75 each while bags of peanuts cost $1.50 each. a. Construct a table showing the alternative combinations of the two products that are available. b. Plot the data in your table as a budget line in a graph. What is the slope of the budget line? What is the opportunity cost of one more candy bar? Of one more bag of peanuts? Do these opportunity costs rise, fall, or remain constant as additional units are purchased? c. Does the budget line tell you which of the available combinations of candy bars and bags of peanuts to buy? d. Suppose that you had won $30 on your ticket, not $15. Show the $30 budget line in your diagram. Has the number of available combinations increased or decreased?
Suppose Megan has a yearly budget of $240 to spend on juice and cereal. Juice is priced at $4 per gallon, and cereal is priced at $6 per box. If Megan spends her entire $240 on juice, she can buy 60 gallons of juice. If she spends her entire $240 on cereal, she can buy 40 boxes of cereal. Use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Megan's budget constraint on the following graph. Next, use the orange point (square symbol) to shade the area that represents combinations of juice and cereal that are affordable for Megan.
