A consumer has income of $3,000. Wine costs $3 per glass, and cheese costs $6 per pound. Make a graph. Draw the consumer’s budget constraint with wine on the vertical axis. Make sure to label the axes.
A consumer has income of $3,000. Fresh Juice costs $3 per glass, and cheese costs $6 per pound.
(a) Draw the consumer's budget constraint (put cheese on the horizontal axis). What is the slope of this budget constraint?
(b) The price of cheese rises from $6 to $10 per pound, while the price of Fresh Juice remains $3 per glass. For a consumer with constant income of $3,000, show what happens to consumption of Fresh Juice and cheese (assuming both are normal goods). Decompose the change into income and substitution effects. Be sure to clearly mark all relevant information in your diagram.

Suppose a cup of coffee costs £2.80. a) Calculate the price of an energy drink and Joe's weekly allowance. Write down Joe's budget equation and draw the corresponding budget line. Mark the two consumption bundles 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. b) Discuss how Joe's budget set would change if his allowance was reduced by £5.20 a week. Show the relevant changes graphically. How should the price of coffee change so that Joe could still afford to buy 6 cups of coffee and 2 energy drinks? c) Discuss how Joe's budget constraint would change if the government subsidised consumption of coffee by £0.50 per cup of coffee.arrow_forward
- Question No. 5| Hafidh's income is $200 a month.

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?
