1) Max chooses to purchase movie tickets and restaurant meals every week with his $100. If the price of a movie ticket is $20 and the price of a restaurant meal is $25, then the slope of his budget constraint will be, a) 1/5 b) -1/5 c) 4/5 d) -4/5 2) Marginal rate of substitution(MRS) is the rate at which consumer is willing to trade one good for another. It must be true that: a) MRS is the slope of an indifference curve in reference to a particular bundle of goods. b) MRS is not the same along an indifference curve that is of usual shape. c) MRS is same along an indifference curve that is of usual shape. d) Both a) and b).
What happens to the original budget line if the price of good ? falls to 4$? (i.e., Will there be a change in the slope and/or intercepts of the original budget line? If yes, what are those changes?). Interpret economically how the change in the price of good ? affects the consumption decision of the consumer.

Describe and graph your own example of a budget constraint using two goods (don’t forget to label your axes). In your example, make sure to state what the budget is, the price of the two goods, what the slope of the budget constraint equals (make sure to include the correct sign), and interpret what the slope represents.
A consumer has a budget of £12 to split between two goods: good 1 has a price of 2, good 2 has a price of 3. Write the consumer’s budget constraint algebraically. Convert this budget constraint into the formula for the budget line. Show this line on a suitably labelled graph. The consumer’s budget increases to £24. Show the effect of this change graphically. A consumer dislikes good 1, and dislikes good 2. Show these preferences on a suitably labelled graph with an indifference curve. Label the graph: which areas would be preferred to those on the line?
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.
Suppose a consumer has income of 1000, and buys pizza and coke. The price of pizza is 100 and price of coke is 50. Draw a budget line that represents the set of bundles this individual can afford if they use all their income. (Put movies on the X axis). Label the places where the budget line intercepts each axis and the slope of the line. Suppose that in consumer equilibrium this individual consumes 7 pizza and 6 coke. What rules must hold in consumer equilibrium? Label this bundle in your drawing (call it point “A”). Draw an indifference curve associated with this bundle, and explain how its slope at the equilibrium point relates to the slope of the budget line. Consider the bundle 2 pizza and 8 coke. Label this point. What can you say about the slope of the indifference curve that passes through the point? (For example, is it bigger than, equal to, or smaller than -1?) Now suppose that income goes up to 15oo. Illustrate how the budget constraint will change. If both goods are…
Utility maximization with a budget constraint. A hypothetical consumer spends all tgheir income on ramen noodles (N) and wild rice (W). N is the quantity of noodles; W is the quantity of wild rice. Their income is $1,600 per month. the price of noodles is $2 per package and the price of wild rice is $20 per pound. The utility function is U=sqrt(N*W). the MRS = -N/W. The budget constraint is: 1,600 = 2*N + 20*W Graph Qty of noodles (N) on vertical axis and Qty of wild rice (W) on horizontal axis. SOLVE: a. Graph the budget constraint. label all points. What is the slope of the budget constraint? b. Find the optimal quantities of noodles(# of packages) and the wild rice (# of pounds) given the budget constraint. graph these optimal quantities. draw your indifference curve on the same graph. c. Show on your graph what happens when the price of wild rice increases to $40 per pound. Find your new optimal quantities of noodles and wild rice. label all points on graph. label the…
Suppose Sam has a weekly budget of $48 to spend on juice and yogurt. Juice is priced at $4 per gallon, and yogurt is priced at $2 per container. gallons of juice. If he spends his entire $48 on yogurt, he can buy containers of If Sam spends his entire $48 on juice, he can buy yogurt. Use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Sam's budget constraint on the following graph. Next, use the orange point (square symbol) to shade the area that represents combinations of juice and yogurt that are affordable for Sam. Finally, place the black point (plus symbol) on the point on Sam's budget constraint that corresponds to a scenario in which Sam spends $24 on each good.

Nick has $300 a month to spend on either detailing his sports car or buying bottles of good wine. It costs $100 to have his car detailed and a bottle of wine is $50. He currently buys four bottles of wine each month and has his car detailed once. If the price of car detailing decreases to $75, Nick's budget constraint will:
A consumer has $100 to spend on craft beer and Schweinefleischaft (pork shanks). Suppose craft beercosts $10 per 4-pack if the customer purchases up to five 4-packs. After that, it is $5 per 4-pack. SupposeSchweinefleischaft is $5 per order of pork shanks.(a) Draw the budget constraint for this consumer, with craft beer on the horizontal axis and Schweine-fleischaft on the vertical axis.(b) Will the consumer ever purchase exactly five 4-packs of craft beer? Explain why, using both thegraph in part (a) and words.
