•You have $400 allocated for your monthly food budget. You can either purchase meals at a restaurant (R) or buy groceries (G) to prepare food at home. • The price of restaurant meals is currently $8/meal (PR= $8). The price of groceries is $2/pound of food (PĠ = $2). for each of the following bundles of groceries and restaurant meals, identify whether the undle is affordable or unaffordable to you, given your budget constraint. Bundle A: (G, R) = (100, 25) Bundle B: (G, R) = (50, 40) Bundle C: (G, R) = (3, 180)

Today, you've decided to treat yourself to some dessert, so you go to the store to buy a doughnut or a cupcake. The utilities of one doughnut and one cupcake are 1212 and 2424, respectively.Given that the price of one doughnut is $6$⁢6, what should be the price of a cupcake to get the same utility per dollar spent? Enter your answer in the box below and round to two decimal places if necessary.
Q1: Zainab has a weekly budget of $48, which she likes to spend on magazines and pies. A. If the price of a magazine is $8 each, what is the maximum number of magazines she could buy in a week? B. If the price of a pie is $24, what is the maximum number of pies she could buy in a week?
Myrtle has $400 per month to spend on Transit (X) and all other goods (Y). She currently buys a bus pass for $100 and rides 80 times per month.If she didn't buy the pass, bus rides would cost $2/ride and she would take 20 trips. She is indifferent between the $100 bus pass and $2 per ride. Myrtle is offered to join a Transit program that would allow her to pay a registration fee and then could ride the bus for $1 per trip. The most Myrtle would pay for the membership is $30 and then she would ride 40 times a month. If she were given the membership for free, she would ride the bus 45 times per month. Myrtle also reveals that she would be indifferent between a free membership (and $1 per ride) versus simply having the traditional bus pass reduced to $50 per month (flat rate), where she would again choose to ride the bus 80 times a month. Using all the information provided, draw all the relevant budget constraints and indifference curves. Be sure to label all equilibrium points and have…
Suppose Olivia has an income of $800/week for which she can use to consume two goods: entertainment (E) and other (O). Furthermore, suppose the price per unit of entertainment is $40 and the price per unit of other is $25. If Olivia buys 5 units of entertainment, what is the maximum amount of other she could buy? 16 units of other 20 units of other 28 units of other None of the above
You have an income of $100,000. You can buy an electric car (which costs $60,000) or an internal- combustion car (which costs $30,000). The electric car has a lower mileage than an internal-combustion car: it costs you $1/km if you drive an electric car, but it costs you $2/km if you drive an internal- combustion car. You enjoy driving (measured in kilometers driven) and spending on other goods ( measured in dollars). Draw your budget line (in a diagram measuring all other goods on the vertical axis) if you buy an electric car. What is its slope and what is the economic meaning of its value?
In the quaint village of Chromaville, all of the residents (including their mayor) are colorblind. The mayor is decorating all the village's lampposts before their annual year-end holiday parade. She has $180 to spend on ribbon. A yard of green ribbon costs $1.50 (per yard). A yard of red ribbon costs $1.25. However, there is a sale on this week: If you buy two yards of green ribbon at the regular price, you get an additional yard of green ribbon for free! a. If yards of red ribbon are measured along the horizontal axis and yards of green ribbon are measured along the vertical axis, what is the slope of the mayor's budget constraint (during the sale)? b. What is the slope of the mayor's indifference curves (if she cannot tell the difference between red and green ribbon)? C. How many yards of red and green ribbon will the mayor purchase (during the sale)?
Lisa consumes only two goods, pizzas and burritos. In equilibrium, her marginal utility per slice of pizza is 10 and her marginal utility per burrito is 8. Instructions: Enter your answer rounded to two decimal places. If a slice of pizza costs $3, then the price of a burrito must be $
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

Concert Tickets You are selling seats at an upcoming concert. The concert hall has a total of 8,500 seats, which will include reserved seats and general admission seats. You're selling reserved seats for $9 each and general admission seats for $5 each and are trying to decide how many of each kind of seat to offer. You want to make money on the concert, but also want people who can't afford the more expensive seats to come. You estimate your expenses for putting on the concert to be $50,000. You are hoping to make a profit, or at least break even. Assuming that you sell out the concert: a. Determine an equation for your revenue and profit as a function of the number of reserved seats you offer. b. Graph your revenue and profit equations on the same graph. What do you notice about the two functions? What does the slope of the lines represent in this situation? c. Determine how many reserved seats you would need to offer in order to break even. d. Determine how many reserved seats must…
