Brandon has been living in the same neighborhood for over 30 years. In recent years, he has seen a surge in population due to new corporate businesses setting up shop in town. The surge in population has also come with a surge in real estate prices. Why would this be the case? As population increases, so does demand. An increase in demand leads to an increase in prices. As population increases, demand decreases. A decrease in demand leads to an increase in prices. As population increases, oil prices decrease, which leads to an increase in prices. As population increases, supply will also increase, which drives up prices.

Answer the following questions. Make sure to number your answers when you upload your response. Suppose Alphonso’s town raised the price of bus tickets to $2.50 per trip (while the price of burgers stayed at $3.50 and his budget remained $11.50 per week.) Draw Alphonso’s new budget constraint. What happens to the opportunity cost of bus tickets? Suppose Alphonso’s town raises the price of bus tickets from $2.50 to $5 and the price of burgers rises from $3.50 to $7. Why is the opportunity cost of bus tickets unchanged? Suppose Alphonso’s weekly spending money increases from $11.50 to $23. How is his budget constraint affected from all three changes? Explain. Use this information to answer the following 4 questions: Marie has a weekly budget of $24, which she likes to spend on magazines and pies.
