Please determine all equations for the three budget constraints, assuming that the individual's total quantity of benefits is such that they are completely reduced to $0 at the point where they have earned $48,600 ▪ Individuals who receive retirement benefits from the Social Security Administration aresubject to something known as the "retirement earnings test." In 2020, this testreduced benefits by one dollar for every two dollars earned between $18,240 and$48,600. The test applies to beneficiaries between ages 62 and the "Normal RetirementAge," currently 67. Although these reduced benefits are eventually restored tobeneficiaries in an actuarially fair manner at a later date, research shows that mostpeople perceive the retirement earnings test to be a pure tax on labor earnings.▪ With these facts in mind, draw three budget constraints in the same diagram:i. The constraint that applies to beneficiaries who choose not to receive benefitsii. The constraint that applies to those who receive benefits between 62 and the NRAiii. The constraint that applies to beneficiaries, older than the NRA, receiving benefits

Please help with the following question
Economics Summer break is approaching! Suppose you derive utility from days spent traveling on vacation domestically, D, and days spent traveling on vacation in a foreign country, F. Your utility function over these two “goods” is: U(D, F) : 4D0.25F 0.75 Let your budget constraint be I(D, F) = pDD + pF F; where I is your income, pD is the price of domestic travel per day, and pF is the price of foreign travel per day. a. Determine the demand functions for domestic travel and foreign travel. Make sure you show your work – show the steps used. b. Suppose that you’ve saved $800 for your summer travel, the price of domestic travel per day is $25 and the price of foreign travel per day is $100. How many days of each type of travel will you embark on? c. Illustrate the indifference curve, budget constraint, and the utility maximizing bundle associated with (b). Make sure you show the level of utility, the budget constraint intercepts, and the optimizing equilibrium. Your answer
Problem 3 (10 points; 5 points for each part): Richard has a total utility function of: TU = 10q₁q₁²+24q2q2² +9192, where q₁ and q2 are goods. Richard is currently consuming at q₁ = 4 and q₂ = 6, which is also his utility maximizing consumption level. (Richard's optimal point is an interior solution). (a) How much additional utility would Richard receive if he were to increase his consumption of q2 from 6 to 7? (5 points). (b) How much q2 is Richard willing to pay (in terms of q2) in order to consume the 5th unit of q₁? (5 points).
Stuck on question for hours. Question in Image attachment. Thanks for your help :)
Suppose Victoria has a budget of $66 that she spends on movies (Q1) and roller skating (Q₂). The price of movie tickets recently increased from $8 per person to $11 per person, and the price of roller skating decreased from $7 to $6 per person. What is Victoria's new budget constraint? Provide your answer below: FEEDBACK $=$×Q₁ + $x Q₂
For a consumer with a utility function u=3x^2y^2 when px=3 and py=4, find the consumption levels that maximize his utility under the $120 budget constraint. What is the maximum benefit?
(a) A consumer with income I=120 facing prices pX = 4 and pY = 8 for two goods X and Y (for each good she prefers more to less, with diminishing MRS) chooses optimally to consume 12 units of X. If the prices change and now pX = 6 and pY = 4, what is the possible range for her new optimal X consumption? (b) Forget about (a). A consumer with I=$240 budget is shopping for apples (x) and oranges (y). Apples cost $1 each up until 60 units; thereafter each apple costs $2. Similarly, oranges cost $1 each up until 60 units, and thereafter $2 each. Draw the graph of feasible set of bundles for the consumer with relevant points and numbers (shade the feasible area), no explanation needed. (c)(HARD!) In (b), calculate the optimal bundle assuming the consumer’s utility function is u(x,y) = x5y.
John has $300 as income and he uses his income only for apples and bananas. If he uses his income only for apples, he can buy 10 pounds. If he uses his income only for bananas, he can buy 15 pounds. Which one is the correct formula for his budget constraint when X=pounds of apples, Y=pounds of bananas and the prices are per pound? a) More information is needed to answer the question. b) 15X + 10Y = 300 c) 10X + 15Y = 300 d) 20X + 30Y = 300 e) 30X + 20Y = 300
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.) Using the multipoint curved line drawing tool, graph the budget…
Mia is a registered nurse. She has 18 hours per day to devote to labor or leisure, and has $20 nonlabor income per day. She is paid $10 per hour for the first 8 hours of work and $15 per hour for overtime (for hours worked over 8 hours). Mia's preferences are represented by U(C, R) = CR utility function, where Cis the amount of dollars she spends on consumer goods and R be the number of hours of leisure that she chooses. Question 1 Part a Assuming she can work as many hours per day as she wishes, draw Mia's indif- ference curves, budget constraints and solve for her optimal consumption and leisure choices. Question 1 Part b Suppose that Mia's wage rate rises to $11 an hour for the first 8 hours. She is still paid $15 per hour for overtime. Again, find her optimal choice. Decompose the total change in demand due to a price change into a substitution effect, ordinary income effect and endowment income effect and graphically demonstrate each effect.
Sean and Yvette Durand live in Detroit and enjoy going out to fancy restaurants for dinner and to diners for breakfast. On the following diagram, the purple curves ₁ and 12 represent two of their indifference curves for fancy dinners and diner breakfasts. They have $1,000 per month available to spend on eating out. The price of a diner breakfast is always $10. Each labeled point represents the tangency between a budget constraint and the corresponding indifference curve.
