They want to spend this income on two goods: books and movies. The price of a book is $10, and the price of a movie ticket is $20. The budget constraint equation represents all the combinations of books (B) and movies (M)that the consumer can purchase with their income. The equation is: 10B + 20M = 200 Where: (10) is the price of one book. (B) is the quantity of books. (20) is the price of one movie ticket. (M) is the quantity of movie tickets. (200) is the total income. What is the slope of the budget line? Question 26Answer a. 2.0 b. 0.75 c. 1.5 d. 0.5arrow_forwardVijaya spends Rs. 150 per month on coffee and buns at the cafeteria.

Label the axes, intercepts, and slope of the budget line. (Note: draw a large graph) b) Suppose there is a gas shortage and the government limits the amount of gas to 30 gallons per consumer per week. Draw this new budget constraint on the graph above (you may use dashed line to reflect ration) c) Alternatively (instead of the ration in part b)), suppose the price of gas increases to $8 per gallon. Draw this new budget constraint on the graph above. d) Does Vince prefer the ration of the increase in prices? Explain why. If his preference cannot be determined, explain why not.arrow_forward
