Mary buys cell-phone services from a company that charges a minimum of $25 per month. For
that $25, she is allowed 100 minutes of free calls. For any calls above 100 minutes, she pays 50
cents per additional minute. Draw graph that describes Mary's monthly bill as a function of total
time.
Brenda wants to buy new car and has a budget of $25,000. She has just found a
magazine that assigns each car an index for styling and an index for gas mileage.
Each index runs from 1 to 10, with 10 representing either the most styling or best
gas mileage. While looking at the list of cars, Brenda observes that on average, as
the style index increases by one unit, the price of the car increases by $6,250. She
also observed that as the gas-mileage index rises by one unit, the price of the car
increases by $5,000.
Illustrate the various combinations of style (S) and gas mileage (G) that Brenda
could select with her $25,000 budget.
Using the line drawing tool, illustrate Brenda's budget line. Label this line 'Budget
Line'.
Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required object.
Suppose Brenda's preferences are such that she always receives two times as
much satisfaction from an extra unit of styling as she does from gas mileage. What
type of car will Brenda choose?…
Brenda wants to buy a new car and has a budget of $24,000. She has just
found a magazine that assigns each car an index for styling and an index for gas
mileage. Each index runs from 0 to 12, with 12 representing either the most
styling or the best gas mileage. While looking at the list of cars, Brenda
observes that on average, as the style index increases by one unit, the price of
the car increases by $2,000. She also observes that as the gas-mileage index
rises by one unit, the price of the car increases by $4,000.
(a) Illustrate (for yourself) the various combinations of gas mileage (G) and style
(S) that Brenda could select with her $24,000 budget. Place gas mileage on the
horizontal axis.

- Kimiko is planning a party to celebrate her birthday. She has decided to serve sushi and yakitori meat skewers. Each serving of sushi is $8 and each yakitori skewer is $2. Kimiko has $240 to spend on the party. Please graph her budget line. Her friend, Barry, thinks there will not be enough food, so he gives Kimiko $80 more to spend on the party (she now has $320). How will this affect the budget line? a. There will be a parallel shift of the budget line away from the origin. b. There will be a parallel shift of the budget line towards the origin. c. There will be an outward shift of point A only. d. There will be an outward shift of point B only.arrow_forwardUse the following information to answer questions 1 through 8: A student has a monthly budget of $120 to spend on either burritos, which cost $6 each, or sodas, which cost $4 each. What is the largest number of burritos that the student could afford to purchase in one month? What is the largest number of sodas the student could afford to purchase in one month?arrow_forwardMegan likes to eat toast with hazelnut spread and drink wine. She enjoys these items in very specific proportions: For every piece of toast with hazelnut spread she eats, she drinks exactly one glass of wine, and vice versa. Megan can purchase the hazelnut spread for her toast in two jar sizes: 20 ounces and 40 ounces. Megan cares only about the total amount of hazelnut spread she has available and not at all about the jar size. In other words, she's just as happy with two 20-ounce jars as she is with one 40-ounce jar. In this scenario, toast with hazelnut spread and glasses of wine are Two possible bundles of toast with hazelnut spread and glasses of wine are shown on the following graph, labeled A and B. Using three purple points (diamond symbol), plot Megan's indifference curve that passes through point A (11). Then, using three orange points (square symbol), plot Megan's indifference curve that passes through point B (I2). Hint: To plot both indifference curves, place one point on…arrow_forward
- Suppose Jane has $100$100 and is going to have a birthday party. She wants to order pizza and sushi. The price of a pizza is $6$6, and the price of one package of sushi is $8$8. Considering that she decided to spend $60$60 on pizza, how many pizzas and packages of sushi can Jane order? Enter your answer in the box below and round down to the nearest whole number if necessary; rounding your answer up may cause Jane to exceed her budget.arrow_forwardYour parents give you $500 per month to spend on college expenses or other personal expenses. Your parents change their mind, and decide to make a matching offer. They will give $0.25 for every $1 you spend on college expenses, but only up to $100 extra. Graph the effect of a matching allowance increase of $0.25 for each dollar you spend on college expenses, with a $100 limit, on your budget constraint.arrow_forwardMika earns $232 per week which she spends entirely at the grocery store, purchasing either food or alcohol. The price of food is $1/unit, while the price of alcohol is $3/unit. If Mika receives an additional $75/week in food stamps that can only be only be used to buy food at the grocery store (so, this money could be used to buy food but NOT alcohol), what is the vertical coordinate of the vertical intercept of Mika's budget constraint if she were to graph quantity of food on the horizontal axis and quantity of alcohol on the vertical axis?
