Consider food stamps where the government gives a person $200 worth of food stamps that provide a 50% discount on food bought. With $200 of these food stamps, the person can used the food stamps to buy $200 of food for $100 cash. After his food stamps are exhausted, the person can continue to buy food but must pay full price in cash. All Other Goods B A Food The blue budget line shows before getting food stamps. The green budget line is after getting food stamps. The red budget line is after getting food stamps. Moving from D to B, the person is using food stamps to buy food. From C to A, the person is using food stamps to buy food. At point A, all the food stamps are used. At point A, the person is consuming 100 units of food and spending the rest of his money on other goods.

2. David gets $3 per week as an allowance to spend any way he pleases. Since he likes only peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, he spends the entire amount on peanut butter (at $0.05 per ounce) and jelly (at $0.1 per ounce). Bread is provided free of charge by a concerned neighbor. David is a picky eater and makes his sandwiches with exactly 1 ounce of jelly and 2 ounces of peanut butter. He is set in his ways and will never change these proportions. a) How much peanut and jelly will David buy with his $3 allowance per week? b) Suppose the price of jelly increases to $0.15 per ounce. How much of each commodity would be bought? c) By how much should David's allowance be increased to compensate for the rise in the price of jelly in part b? d) Graph your results of part a through part c.

In the below figure, a consumer is initially in equilibrium at point C. The consumer's income is $750, and the budget line through point C is given by $750 = $150X + $375Y. When the consumer is given a $ 300 gift certificate that is good only at store X, she moves to a new equilibrium at point D. a. Determine the prices of goods X and Y. Price of X: $ 150 Price of Y: $ 375 b. How many units of product Y could be purchased at point A? rmal or an inferior good? Product Y c Product X F
