a. Andre has a salary of $1000. He spends his entire budget on shoes and beers. The cost for a pair of shoes is $15 and the cost for can of beer is $25. i. Construct Andre's budget constraint (place) beers on the y-axis. Suppose Andre's salary rises by 25%. Also suppose that the price of shoes and beers each rise by 40%. Construct Andre's new budget constraint. What is the difference between the new and old budget ii. constraints? Suppose that the price of beers fell from $25 per beer to $15. Construct Andre's new budget constraint. What is the difference between the new and old budget constraints? 111. b. Explain the relationship between the budget constraint and indifference curve at consumer optimum.

Economics Gowri has $6 per day to purchase lunch. She spends all of her lunch money on pizza and iced-tea. The price of pizza is $2.00 per slice and iced-tea costs $1 per bottle. a. Draw Gowri's budget constraint and label it BC0. Put pizza on the horizontal axis and iced-tea on the vertical axis. Be sure to identify the intercept values. b. If the price of iced-tea rises to $1.20 per bottle, show what will happen to her budget constraint in your diagram. Be sure to indicate any new intercept values.
