Jack and his children went into a restaurant where they sell hamburgers for $6 each and tacos for $2 each. Jack has $30 to spend and must buy at least 8 hamburgers and tacos altogether. If x represents the number of hamburgers purchased and y represents the number of tacos purchased, write and solve a system of inequalities graphically and determine one possible solution. Inequality 1: y> 5x + 8 plot switch shade Inequality 2: y sv plot switch shade

Myrtle has $400 per month to spend on Transit (X) and all other goods (Y). She currently buys a bus pass for $100 and rides 80 times per month.If she didn't buy the pass, bus rides would cost $2/ride and she would take 20 trips. She is indifferent between the $100 bus pass and $2 per ride. Myrtle is offered to join a Transit program that would allow her to pay a registration fee and then could ride the bus for $1 per trip. The most Myrtle would pay for the membership is $30 and then she would ride 40 times a month. If she were given the membership for free, she would ride the bus 45 times per month. Myrtle also reveals that she would be indifferent between a free membership (and $1 per ride) versus simply having the traditional bus pass reduced to $50 per month (flat rate), where she would again choose to ride the bus 80 times a month. Using all the information provided, draw all the relevant budget constraints and indifference curves. Be sure to label all equilibrium points and have…
Suppose Olivia has an income of $800/week for which she can use to consume two goods: entertainment (E) and other (O). Furthermore, suppose the price per unit of entertainment is $40 and the price per unit of other is $25. If Olivia buys 5 units of entertainment, what is the maximum amount of other she could buy? 16 units of other 20 units of other 28 units of other None of the above

Jane is your typical economics student who consumes two goods: economics textbook and coffee. Jane’s income is $40. She can spend it all on books and get 5 or she can spend it all on coffee and get 20 cups.Given this information, construct the equation for Jane’s budget line and plot it (put books on the x–axis and coffee on the y–axis)
Let the following table represents the total utility of a given consumer, in the cardinal utility approach. Q 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 TUX 8 14 18 20 20 18 16 TUY 6 10 13 15 16 16 14 MUX MUY MUX/PX MUY/PY Calculate the MUX and MUY and fill the table in the 4th and 5th rows. If the two products (X&Y) are free goods how many of X and Y should the consumer take to maximize utility? What is the maximum utility of X and Y if they are free? Let now price of X is 4 birr per unit and price of Y is 2 birr per unit. Calculate MUX/PX and MUY/PY and fill the 6th and 7th row. Assuming the consumer has any amount of money (enough budget) how many of X and Y should the consumer buy, to maximize utility? What is the total utility of X and Y? Let now price of X is 4 birr per unit and price of Y is 2 birr per unit and budget of the consumer for consumption of X and Y is 20 birr. Given budget constraint how many of X and Y should the consumer buy to maximize utility?
Henry has $450 to spend on movies and concerts. Suppose the price of a movie ticket is $15 and the price of a concert ticket is $90. Draw Henry's budget line. Your graph should include labels for your axes, and you should note the quantities at which the budget line meets each axis. Label Henry's budget line "BL" Next, suppose that the price of concert tickets drops to $75. Draw Henry's new budget line, and label it 'BL2'.

Mrs. Griffiths earns $5000 a week and spends her entire income on dresses and handbags, since these are the only two items that provide her utility. Furthermore, Mrs. Griffiths insists that for every dress she buys, she must also buy a handbag. What is the algebraic equation for Mrs. Griffiths budget constraint if dresses cost $25 each and handbags cost $14 each? How many of each good will she buy and represent this on a budget line with handbags on the horizontal axis Draw an indifference curve showing the optimum choice. Label the optimum as point A. What would be the marginal rate of substitution at the point that corresponds to the optimal consumption choice? Interpret the marginal rate of substitution
Consider the market for Netflix Subscriptions. Show graphically and explain using economic intuition, what happens to the market price and quantity in each of the following 3. Bruno can spend his income on two different goods: smoothies and energy bars. For each of the following three situations, decide if the given consumption bundle is within Bruno’s consumption possibilities. Then decide if it lies on the budget line or not. a) Smoothies cost $2 each, and energy bars cost $3 each. Bruno has income of $60. He is considering a consumption bundle containing 15 smoothies and 10 energy bars.b) Smoothies cost $2 each, and energy bars cost $5 each. Bruno has income of $110. He is considering a consumption bundle containing 20 smoothies and 10 energy bars. c) Smoothies cost $3 each, and energy bars cost $10 each. Bruno has income of $50. He is considering a consumption bundle containing 10 smoothies and 3 energy bars. 4. In each of the following situations, describe the substitution…
