- Given above are some of the indifference curves for a student who consumes Burritos and Pizzas and the relevant budget line. Equilibrium is defined as the maximum utility or satisfaction given the consumer’s budget. The consumer has more indifference curves above I3, below I1, and between I1 and I2 and between I2 and I3. Out of all the indifference curves the consumer has, only I1, I2, and I3 are shown. The given budget line touches I2 at the point where I2 touches the y-axis (Burritos axis). a) If the price of Pizzas decreased and the price of Burritos remained unchanged, would the quantity of Burritos consumed at equilibrium increase or decrease compared to the equilibrium point A in the graph given above? (b) If the price of Pizzas increased and the price of Burritos remained the same, would the consumer equilibrium point be different from point A or the same as point A in the graph given above?Consider a consumer whose utility function is (screenshot) Assume the consumer has income $120 and initially faces the prices px=$1 and py=$1. How much x and y would they buy? Draw the budget constraint and the demands.True or false. A budget constraint, budget line or budget set is a graphical way to illustrate all possible combinations of two goods that a person can afford.
- A consumer has a budget of £12 to split between two goods: good 1 has a price of 2, good 2 has a price of 3. Write the consumer’s budget constraint algebraically. Convert this budget constraint into the formula for the budget line. Show this line on a suitably labelled graph. The consumer’s budget increases to £24. Show the effect of this change graphically. A consumer dislikes good 1, and dislikes good 2. Show these preferences on a suitably labelled graph with an indifference curve. Label the graph: which areas would be preferred to those on the line?Utility maximization with a budget constraint. A hypothetical consumer spends all tgheir income on ramen noodles (N) and wild rice (W). N is the quantity of noodles; W is the quantity of wild rice. Their income is $1,600 per month. the price of noodles is $2 per package and the price of wild rice is $20 per pound. The utility function is U=sqrt(N*W). the MRS = -N/W. The budget constraint is: 1,600 = 2*N + 20*W Graph Qty of noodles (N) on vertical axis and Qty of wild rice (W) on horizontal axis. SOLVE: a. Graph the budget constraint. label all points. What is the slope of the budget constraint? b. Find the optimal quantities of noodles(# of packages) and the wild rice (# of pounds) given the budget constraint. graph these optimal quantities. draw your indifference curve on the same graph. c. Show on your graph what happens when the price of wild rice increases to $40 per pound. Find your new optimal quantities of noodles and wild rice. label all points on graph. label the…Draw a budget constraint and indifference curves for two goods-cheese and wine. Show what happens to the budget constraint and the consumer's optimum when the there is an increase in income tax by 10 percent.
- Given the following budget constraint: PXQX + PYQY = M, where PX = $2, PY = $1 and M = $10 (M is income) a. What is the slope of the budget constraint in QX/QY space (where QX is on the horizontalaxis and QY is on the vertical axis)?b. What is the relative price of an additional unit of X?c. What is the relative price of an additional unit of YA consumer has $100 to spend on craft beer and Schweinefleischaft (pork shanks). Suppose craft beercosts $10 per 4-pack if the customer purchases up to five 4-packs. After that, it is $5 per 4-pack. SupposeSchweinefleischaft is $5 per order of pork shanks.(a) Draw the budget constraint for this consumer, with craft beer on the horizontal axis and Schweine-fleischaft on the vertical axis.(b) Will the consumer ever purchase exactly five 4-packs of craft beer? Explain why, using both thegraph in part (a) and words.1) The equation that economists use to measure the utility from a bundle of goods is called the budget constraint a) true b) false
- I MUST DRAW THE BUDGET CONSTRAINT AND INDIFFERENCE CURVEA consumer has income of $15,000. Masks costs $35 per mask, and sanitizers costs $70 per bottle. solve questions 4 and 5 Draw the consumer’s budget constraint (put mask on the horizontal axis). What is the slope of this budget constraint? Suppose his income increases from $15,000 to $20,000. Illustrate what happens if both masks and sanitizers are normal goods. Illustrate what happens if a mask is an inferior good. The price of masks rises from $35 to $40 per mask, while the price of sanitizers is unchanged. For a consumer with constant income of $15,000, show what happens to consumption of both goods (assume both goods are normal goods). Decompose the change into income and substitution effects. Under what circumstance(s) if any can an increase in the price of sanitizers induce a consumer to buy more of that good? Explain. Explain how a consumer should allocate expenditure in order to achieve maximum satisfaction and analyse how a rise in income might affect that allocation.
