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…
The graph shows two budget lines and six consumption points (A, B, C, D, E, and F) for Pepsi and Dr Pepper. Note that budget line 1 is before the increase in Fred's income, whereas budget line 2 is after the increase in Fred's income. Assume that the consumer, Fred, attempts to maximize his utility and exhausts his budget on the two goods. If Fred's income increases, the movement from point A to point E is consistent with Pepsi being a normal good and Dr Pepper being an inferior good. If Fred's income increases, the movement from point A to point B is consistent with Dr Pepper being a normal good and Pepsi being an inferior good.
1. Gertrude had a weekly income $9. At that time, a bulla sold for $1 and a drink for $1.50. a) What is Gertrude's real income in terms of bullas? b) What is her real income in terms of drinks? c) What is the relative price of a drink (in terms of bullas)? d) Sketch Gertrude's budget constraint (placing drinks on the vertical axis). e) Suppose she chooses to consume 3 bullas and 4 drinks per week. Is she satisfying her budget constraint? f) Sketch the budget line if the price of bullas rises to $2 and all other values remain unchanged. g) Sketch the budget line if the price of drinks rises to $3 and all other values remain at their original levels. h) i) Sketch the budget line if Gertrude gets a raise to earn $18 a week and prices remain at their original levels. Supposes all changes take place together: the price of bullas rises to $2, the price of drinks rises to $3, and Gertrude gets a raise to earn $18 a week. How does the new budget line compare to the original one?
. Kawther’s income is OMR12 a week. The price of small-sized pizza is OMR3, and the price of a fresh juice is OMR3. Calculate the equation for Kawther’s budget line and illustrate all options on the table. Draw a graph of Kawther’s budget line with the quantity of fresh juice on the x-axis. Kawther’s income is OMR12 a week. The price of small-sized pizza rises from OMR3 to OMR6, and the price of a fresh juice is unchanged at OMR3. Explain how Kawther’s budget line changes with fresh juice on the x-axis.
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.

Alex distributes his monthly income of $600 between two goods, movies and food. By spending his entire income on movies, he can enjoy a maximum of 20 movies. On the other hand, by spending his entire income on food he can consume a total of 60 units of food. Assume that food consumption is measured along the horizontal axis and the consumption of movies is measured on the vertical axis. Calculate the slope of Alex's budget line when the price of food increases to $20 while the price of movie remains unchanged. -2/3 - 1.5 -2 -3/4
