Juan is currently working in a job that pays $25 an hour and he chooses to work 8 hours per day. Assume that Juan can work a maximum of 16 hours a day, and he has complete flexibility in how many hours a day he works. Illustrate Juan’s budget constraint and his optimal choice of consumption and leisure. What is the slope of his budget constraint? What does this slope represent? (As on any graph you draw, make sure that you label the axes, the intercepts and the optimal choice.) Juan begins receiving a government transfer payment of $100 per day. Add his new budget constraint to your graph in (a) and show his new optimal choice. Does he choose more or less consumption? More or less leisure? Explain why for both goods. The government imposes a tax of 25% on Juan’s earnings from work and increases his government transfer to $150 per day (the government transfer payment is not taxed.) Redraw the budget constraint from part (b) (omit the part (a) budget constraint), and add a new budget…
6. Graduate students at University of Massachusetts consume only two goods: rental apartment space (good x) and sandwiches (good y). 2020: I = $3,000 Px = $4 Py = $6 || X 2021: I = $3,300 Px = $5 Py = $6 Assume, in each year, all graduate students have the same income and face the same prices for apartments and sandwiches. However, graduate students have different preferences for apartments and sandwiches, but each student's preferences are consistent from year to year. Assume also that each student chooses his most preferred bundle given his budget set in each year. Denote the bundle in 2020 by (x, Yo) and this year's bundle by (x1» y1). What are the equations for their budget constraints in 2020 and 2021? а. b. What combination (bundle) of apartments and sandwiches is on graduate students' budget constraints in 2020 and 2021? On a carefully labeled graph with square feet on the horizontal axis, draw the с. budget constraints. d. Which students are better off this year, compared to…
A basket of goods for a given consumer includes two goods, X and Z. Consumer income is equal to $1,500 and the prices of these two goods are as follows: Px = $25 Pz = $25 This consumer is consuming10 units of good X. Suppose that over the course of a year, the price of good X changes by 10% and the price of good Z changes by −10%. How much income would be required for the consumer to afford the same quantity of goods X and Z with the new prices? $______
Katie Kwasi's utility function is U(x₁, x₂)=5(In x₁)+x₂. Given her current income and the current relative prices, she consumes 10 units of x₁ and 15 units of x₂. If her income doubles, while prices stay constant, how many units of x₁ will she consume after the change in income? a)10 b)20 c)15 d)5
Suppose Marcus eats nothing but burritos for dinner. He buys 30 burritos each month. During the last couple of weeks, Marcus noticed a decrease in the price of burritos. The price of burritos fell from $6.00 per burrito last month to $5.75 per burrito this month. Assume that Marcus has a fixed income of $180 that he can spend on burritos. How many burritos can Marcus afford to buy at the new price of $5.75?

2. Muhammad's demand for fresh fish is perfectly income inelastic, and his income increases. If Muhammad's preferences for fish are well-behaved, show the effect of this increase in income on the change in his optimal choice of fresh fish, his expenditure on all other goods, and draw his income-consumption curve. Clearly label your graph.

Rodrigo is taking a year between high school and college to work and save up. His utility from consumption each year is U(c) = discounts future utility by B. Rodrigo is going to make $I his year of working, and whatever he doesn't consume from that income will a savings account which will earn return r before he consumes next year. He has to pay for school expenses E in year two, before he consumes (but after return has been realized). 1-o and he go into

The following table shows the quantity D of wheat, in billions of bushels, that wheat consumers are willing to purchase in a year at a price P, in dollars per bushel. D = quantity of wheat P = price 1.0 $2.05 1.5 $1.75 2.0 $1.45 2.5 $1.15 In economics, it is customary to plot D on the horizontal axis and P on the vertical axis, so we will think of D as a variable and of P as a function of D. (a) Show that these data can be modeled by a linear function. For each increase of 0.50 in D there is of in P. Find its formula. (Use P for price and D for quantity.)P = −.6d+265 (b) Add the graph of the linear formula you found in part (a), which is called the market demand curve, to the following graph based on the following table for market supply curve. S = quantity of wheat P = price 1.0 $1.35 1.5 $2.40 2.0 $3.45 2.5 $4.50
