Suppose a family (with 1 child) earns $50,000 per year and there is no publicly provided education. Assume the price of other goods is $2,000 and the price for education/ year is $5,000. Show how a school voucher redeemable for $20,000 worth of education changes the family's budget constraint. What happens to the amount of education the family purchases for the child?

Suppose a consumer wants to buy a new house and has a budget of 50 million. The consumer cares only about the size (S) of the house and the quality of construction (Q) of the house. Assume that if the consumer wants one more unit of size, then the builder wants 10 million. If the consumer wants one more unit of quality, then the builder wants 5 million. (a) Draw the consumer's budget line for size and quality. Place size on the horizontal axis. (b) Suppose the consumer's preferences are such that the marginal rate of substitution is equal to (-4S)/Q. What value of each index will the consumer like to have in her house? ( 6 (c) Suppose the consumer's marginal rate of substitution is (-S)/Q. What value of each index will the consumer like to have in her house? (
John works at Frito-Lay distribution center. He is paid $20 per hour and can choose how many hours he can work a week. However, if he works 30 hours per week he is eligible for health insurance and other benefits worth $100 to him. Which of the graphs below show John’s budget constraint in this scenario?
Explain how changes in income (budget constraint) and prices affect consumer consumption choices. Think back to a purchase that you made recently. How did you evaluate whether or not you would be purchasing the item?

Since 1979, low-income recipients have been given food stamps without charge. However, before 1979, people bought food stamps at a subsidized rate. For example, to get $1 worth of food stamps, a household paid about 30¢ (the exact amount varied by household characteristics and other factors). What is the budget constraint facing an individual if that individual may buy up to $100 per month in food stamps at 30¢ per each $1 coupon? Compare this constraint to the original budget constraint with no assistance and the budget constraint if the individual receives $100 of food stamps for free. Assume the individual has income of $110 per month. 1.) Using the multipoint curved line drawing tool, graph the budget constraint facing this food stamp recipient with subsidized food stamps. Label this line 'L₁'. 2.) Using the line drawing tool, graph the budget constraint with no food stamp assistance. Label this line 'L2.'" 3.) Using the multipoint curved line drawing tool, graph the budget…

Explain why individuals make choices that are directly on the budget constraint, rather than inside the budget constraint or outside it.
Since 1979, low-income recipients have been given food stamps without charge. However, before 1979, people bought food stamps at a subsidized rate. For example, to get $1 worth of food stamps, a household paid about 40¢ (the exact amount varied by household characteristics and other factors). What is the budget constraint facing an individual if that individual may buy up to $100 per month in food stamps at 40¢ per each $1 coupon? Compare this constraint to the original budget constraint with no assistance and the budget constraint if the individual receives $100 of food stamps for free. Assume the individual has income of $120 per month. 1.) Using the multipoint curved line drawing tool, graph the budget constraint facing this food stamp recipient with subsidized food stamps. Label this line 'L₁'. 2.) Using the line drawing tool, graph the budget constraint with no food stamp assistance. Label this line 'L₂." 3.)
