EXERCISE 3 If Joe decides to allocate his entire weekly allowance between energy drinks and coffee, he could afford 9 energy drinks and 3 cups of coffee, or 6 cups of coffee and 2 energy drinks. Suppose a cup of coffee costs £2.80. Calculate the price of an energy drink and Joe’s weekly allowance. Write down Joe’s budget equation and draw the corresponding budget line. Mark the two consumption bundles mentioned above. In your graph, clearly label the axes, the budget line, and calculate the coordinates of the points of intersection of the budget line with each axis. Interpret each of those points. Discuss how Joe’s budget set would change if his allowance was reduced by £5.20 a week. Show the relevant changes graphically. How should the price of coffee change so that Joe could still afford to buy 6 cups of coffee and 2 energy drinks? Discuss how Joe’s budget constraint would change if the government subsidised consumption of coffee by £0.50 per cup of coffee.
