Suppose that Graham enjoys painting green people. He has very particular preferences and must have exactly 3 gallons of yellow paint for each 2 gallons of blue paint. Let Y be the number of gallons of yellow paint and B be the number of gallons of blue paint. Also, let PB be the price of blue paint. Suppose Graham has $20 to spend on paint. Also, the price of yellow paint is Py = $1 per gallon. a) Graph Graham's price consumption curve for the prices PB = $1, and PB = 2, PB = $4. Please put the number of gallons of B on the vertical axis and the number of gallons of Y on the horizontal axis. Be sure to label your graph carefully and accurately.

Andrea has a budget of £21 to spend on toothbrushes and tooth paste. He does not receive any utility from owning a toothbrush, but for the consumption of every tube of tooth paste he gains a utility of 2 utils – but only if he owns a tooth brush. Without a tooth brush, Andrea gains no utility from consuming tooth paste. In addition, after consuming 10 tubes of tooth paste, a toothbrush needs to be replaced, i.e., Andrea needs to buy a new one. The current price of tooth brushes on the market is £5 and the current price for tooth paste is £1 per tube. Assume that Andrea aims to maximise consumer surplus. Question：Find Andrea’s income-consumption curve for tooth paste tubes for incomes between £0 and £21, assuming a price of £1 per tube.
Graham brings $20 to his local college hockey game in order to purchase cheeseburgers and seltzer. The following diagram presents his budget constraint: CANS OF SELTZER 10 6 B 5 4 3 r 0 1 2 BC 4 5 6 CHEESEBURGERS 7 According to the diagram, cheeseburgers cost $ 8 9 10 BC each, and seltzer costs $ (?) per can. Adjust the diagram to show how Graham's budget constraint would change if the price of seltzer decreased. (Assume the price of cheeseburgers and Graham's income remain the same.) Note: Select either end of the curve on the graph to make the endpoints appear. Then drag one or both endpoints to the desired position. Points will snap into position, so if you try to move a point and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.

Suppose an individual is currently spending all of their income on a bundle of books and pizza, but they are not sure whether the bundle maximizes their utility. Assume the individual has a strictly diminishing marginal rate of substitution over these two goods. At their current bundle of books and pizza, the individual's marginal utility from consuming books is 6 utils and their marginal utility from consuming pizza is 3 utils. If the current price of a book is $12 and the price of a pizza is $7, which of the following statements must be true: A. The individual can increase their utility by consuming more books and less pizza B. The individual is maximizing their utility C. The individual can increase their utility by consuming more pizza and fewer books
Question 3 (Demand). Carlos really likes pizza. His utility function for Little Caesar's (xi) and Woodstock's (x.) is given by: U(xi, x2) = x;+2x2 The price of x,is $10 and Carlos spends $50 on pizza. a) Graph the demand curve for x1, with pi (the price of x) on the y-axis and x, on the x-axis. (Hint: There will be a range of prices where the demand for x, will be 0). Explain you graph. Page 2

Joe is currently in consumer equilibrium by consuming cheese and crackers, such that the last cracker consumed yielded 8 utils and the last piece of cheese consumed yielded 12 utils. Assume the price of crackers is two cents per cracker and the price of cheese is three cents per piece. If the price of crackers increases to four cents, Joe should his consumption of crackers and his marginal utility from crackers will and also his consumption of cheese and his marginal utility from cheese will (Assume he is in the downward sloping portion of the MU curve.)

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.
