Mr. Chang can buy two goods- cake and juice. If he spends his entire income on cake, he can buy 30 cakes and if he spends his entire income on juice, he can buy 60 liters of juice. If the price of cake is $6/cake: What is the price of 1 liter of juice? Draw a neatly labeled diagram showing Mr. Chang’s possible consumer equilibrium clearly. If his income changes to $240, what would happen to Mr. Chang’s consumer equilibrium? Is he better off or worse off? Why? Indicate using a diagram.

Question 2
Sonia likes cupcakes and tea. She has Rs.100 to spend on cupcakes and tea; cupcakes cost Rs.20 each, and cups of tea cost Rs.10 each. Sketch her budget constraint on a graph with cupcakes on the horizontal axis and cups of tea on the vertical axis. Sonia also has a calorie constraint: she can only consume 800 calories, and each cupcake has 200 calories, while tea has no calories. On your graph, sketch in Sonias calorie constraint and indicate her budget set - the set of feasible combinations of cupcakes and tea given her two constraints. Label all the kinks of Sonias budget set with their coordinates.

Jim has made his best affordable choice of muffins and coffee. He spends all of his income on 10 muffins at $1 each and 20 cups of coffee at $2 each. Muffins and coffee are ordinary goods. Now, the price of a muffin rises to $1.50 and the price of coffee falls to $1.75 a cup. Will Jim now be able and want to buy 10 muffins and 20 coffees? Which situation does Jim prefer: muffins at $1 and coffee at $2 a cup or muffins at $1.50 and coffee at $1.75 a cup? When the price of a muffin rises to $1.50 and the price of coffee falls to $1.75 a cup, Jim able to buy 10 muffins and 20 coffees. Jim O A. is; does not buy this combination because the marginal rate of substitution has changed. B. is; buys this combination because the marginal rate of substitution has not changed. O C. is not; does not buy this combination because with the change in price he can no longer buy 2 cups of coffee to drink with each muffin O D. is not; does not buy this combination because he can't afford it Jim prefers to…
