The diagram below shows one of Popeye's indifference curves (relating bottles of pure olive oil to cans of spinach) and his (annual) budget line. a. Olive Oil 30 20 18 35 Spinach If the price of olive oil is $18 per bottle, what then must be the price per can of spinach? Please express your answer to the nearest penny (one-hundredth of a dollar). b. Where does the budget line intersect the spinach axis? That is, to the nearest whole number, what is the maximum number of cans of spinach Popeye could purchase? C. If the marginal utility of that 35th can of spinach is 40 (utils), what then is the marginal utility of the 20th bottle of olive oil?

Paul loves hot drinks, and he has a part of his weekly budget earmarked for buying them. In the diagram below, you can find three examples IC1, IC2 and IC3 for indifference curves that represent Paul's preferences for tea and coffee, and three examples X, Y and Z for specific bundles of weekly tea and coffee consumption.
Ravi has £21 to spend on pastries and biscuits. If he spends all the money on pastries, he can afford 15 pastries. The slope of Ravi’s budget line (assuming his pastries consumption is measured on the horizontal axis and his biscuits consumption is measured on the vertical axis) is -3.5 (3.5 in absolute terms). Calculate the price of a pastry and the price of a biscuit. Write down Ravi’s budget equation and draw the corresponding budget line. Mark the consumption bundle mentioned above. In your graph, clearly label the axes, the budget line, and calculate the coordinates of the points of intersection of the budget line with each axis. Interpret each of those points. Discuss how Ravi’s budget set would change if his budget doubles. Show the relevant changes graphically. How could the price of a pastry increase so that Ravi could still afford to buy 15 pastries? Discuss how Ravi’s budget constraint would change if the government imposed a tax of £0.50 per pastry and £0.50 per biscuit.
Yungin always gets twice as much satisfaction from an extra burger as he does from an extra Boost juice. Draw (for yourself) three indifference curves for him on a graph - passing through the bundles (2 juices, O burgers), (4 juices, O burgers) and (5 juices, O burgers) respectively. Qburgers 3 2 5 Qjuice The graph above includes two budget lines with different slopes to help you answer the following question. Which conclusions can you draw about Yunqin's utility maximising choices? Select all that applies. 01 2 3 Yungin would never consume both burgers and juice at the same time Yungin always consumes only juice if Yungin' budget line is flatter than his indifference curves, then he consumes only juice if the ratio of the price of burger to the price of juice is smaller than 2, then Yunqin consumes only burgers
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.
In the following budget constraint- indifference curve graph, Nikki has $170 to spend on tops and pants. a. What is the price of a top? $ What is the price of a pair of pants? $ b. Is Nikki making the optimum choice if she buys 4 tops and 2 pants? OA. Yes, this point is on the budget constraint. OB. No, the indifference curve going through this point is not tangent to Nikki's budget constraint. OC. No, the other point of intersection of the indifference curve and the budget constraint is the optimal choice. OD. Yes, the indifference curve going through this point is tangent to Nikki's budget constraint. L Tops 10- 6 9- 8- G 7- 6- 3- 2- 1- 13 5 Pants 7 8 9 10 11 12
