Kenji is buying salad and pizza for a company lunch. Suppose that a bowl of salad costs $3.00, and a slice of pizza costs $4.00. Let E be the amount in dollars that Kenji spends on salad and pizza. If Kenji buys S bowls of salad and P slices of pizza, then the total amount of money he spends (E) can be represented by the equation Now rearrange the equation you wrote above so that P is written in terms of E and S. The quantity of pizza he buys can be represented by the equation Suppose Kenji has $48.00 to spend on salad and pizza; that is, E= $48.00. Complete the following table with the values of S or P that make the equation true. Hint: To complete the first row, determine the number of pizza slices Kenji can purchase with $48.00, when the number of salad bowls he purchases is 0. Pizza Budget Salad (Dollars) (Bowls) (Slices) 48.00 0 48.00 48.00 8 0
Suppose Marcus eats nothing but burritos for dinner. He buys 30 burritos each month. During the last couple of weeks, Marcus noticed a decrease in the price of burritos. The price of burritos fell from $6.00 per burrito last month to $5.75 per burrito this month. Assume that Marcus has a fixed income of $180 that he can spend on burritos. How many burritos can Marcus afford to buy at the new price of $5.75?
Economics,
Congress passed the CARES Act to provide an economic safety net during the Covid-19 pandemic shutdown. The CARES Act included stimulus checks that were sent to some households. Households with individuals making up to $75,000 received a $1,200 check and households with married couples making up to $150,000 received a $2,400 check. Think about how the savings rate varies with household income and the utility of savings versus spending when answering the questions below. Does the particular income limit imposed make sense? Should it be higher, lower, or should there be no limit. Provide an explanation for your answer.
Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAS) allow people to shelter some of their income from taxation. Suppose the maximum annual contribution to such accounts is $5,000 per person. Shift the appropriate curve(s) on the following graph to show how a decrease in the maximum contribution, from $5,000 to $3,000 per year, would affect the market for loanable funds. INTEREST RATE (Percent) pemand Supply QTY OF LOANABLE FUNDS (Billions of dollars) This change in the tax treatment of saving causes the equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds to and the level of investment spending to
The following table shows the quantity D of wheat, in billions of bushels, that wheat consumers are willing to purchase in a year at a price P, in dollars per bushel. D = quantity of wheat P = price 1.0 $2.05 1.5 $1.75 2.0 $1.45 2.5 $1.15 In economics, it is customary to plot D on the horizontal axis and P on the vertical axis, so we will think of D as a variable and of P as a function of D. (a) Show that these data can be modeled by a linear function. For each increase of 0.50 in D there is of in P. Find its formula. (Use P for price and D for quantity.)P = −.6d+265 (b) Add the graph of the linear formula you found in part (a), which is called the market demand curve, to the following graph based on the following table for market supply curve. S = quantity of wheat P = price 1.0 $1.35 1.5 $2.40 2.0 $3.45 2.5 $4.50

Suppose apartments are in four locations: Location A, Location B, Location C, and Location D. Location A is in the city, where your job is. Location B is 10 minutes farther from your job than Location A. Location C is 10 minutes farther from your job than Location B, and Location D is 10 minutes farther than Location C. In turn, similar apartments in Location B rent for $125 less per month than apartments in Location A, apartments in Location C rent for $125 less than in Location B, and apartments in Location D rent for $125 less than in Location C. Suppose the value of your time is $18 per hour and you work 21 days per month, with each day requiring a round-trip commute from your apartment to work. Part 2 For simplicity, assume rent and the opportunity cost of your time commuting to work are the only factors influencing the location in which to rent an apartment.
Columns 1 through 4 of the accompanying table show the marginal utility, measured in utils, that Ricardo would get by purchasing various amounts of products A, B, C, and D. Column 5 shows the marginal utility Ricardo gets from saving. Assume that the prices of A, B, C, and D are $18, $6, $4, and $24, respectively, and that Ricardo has an income of $105. What quantities of A, B, C, and D will Ricardo purchase in maximizing his utility? How many dollars will Ricardo choose to save? Check your answers by substituting them into the algebraic statement of the utility‑maximizing rule. In other words, show it works when using this rule.
Dell Computer makes its suppliers wait 37 days on average to be paid for their goods; however, Dell is paid by its customers immediately. Thus, Dell earns interest on this float, the money that it is implicitly borrowing. If Dell can earn an annual interest rate of 4%, what is this float worth to Dell per dollar spent on inputs?

If, at a given interest rate, the quantity of savings supplied is less than the quantity of investment demanded, what can we conclude? A) B) C) D) There is a shortage of savings and real interest rates will fall. There is a surplus of savings and real interest rates will fall. There is a surplus of savings and real interest rates will rise. There is a shortage of savings and real interest rates will rise.
