Luke has a monthly income of $80. He spends this money making telephone calls from home (measured in minutes of calls) and on other goods. His mobile phone company offers him two plans:
Plan A: Pay no monthly fee and make calls for $0.50 per minute.
Plan B: Pay a $30 monthly fee and make calls for $0.1 per minute.
If Plan A is better for him, what is the set of baskets he may purchase if his behavior is consistent with utility maximization? Make sure that your answer is exact, using set notations and/or a clearly labeled graph.
Use the following information to answer questions 1 through 8:

The price of DVDs (D) is $20.00 and the price of CDs (C) is $10.00. Phillip has a budget of $100.00 to spend on the two goods. Suppose that he has already bought 1 DVD and 1 CD. In addition, there are 3 more DVDs and 7 more CDs that he would really like to buy.The price of DVDs (D) is $20.00 and the price of CDs (C) is $10.00. Phillip has a budget of $100.00 to spend on the two goods. Suppose that he has already bought 1 DVD and 1 CD. In addition, there are 3 more DVDs and 7 more CDs that he would really like to buy.
1.) Using the line drawing tool, given the above prices and income, draw his budget line in the figure.Label this line 'L'.
2.) Using the point drawing tool, and considering what Phillip has already purchased and what he still wants to purchase, identify the three different bundles of CDs and DVDs that he could choose. Label these points 'bundle 1', 'bundle 2', and 'bundle 3'. (Assume that he cannot purchase fractional units)

If he spends his entire $32 on spinach, he can buy Use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Darnell's budget constraint on the following graph. Next, use the orange point (square symbol) to shade the area that represents combinations of ranch dressing and spinach that are affordable for Darnell. Finally, place the black point (plus symbol) on the point on Darnell's budget constraint that corresponds to a scenario in which Darnell spends $16 on each good.

Usually, he buys 44 pizzas for $180$180 and spends the remaining $60$60 on 44 burgers. However, the price of 11 pizza has increased by $5$5; the price of a burger has not changed. Now, Jayden will buy only 33 pizzas per month.Calculate how many burgers Jayden can afford to buy if he still wants to spend all the money. If necessary, round any intermediate calculations to two decimal places. For your final answer, write the exact value; do not round.arrow_forwardBrenda 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?…arrow_forward
- 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. • Her budget line is given by 4,000*G + [ Select ] *S= [ Select ] • The X-intercept of her budget line is equal to [ Select ] • The Y-intercept of her budget line is equal to [ Select ]arrow_forwardKimiko 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.

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_forwardSuppose you have a budget of 30 to spend on two goods: pizzas and burgers. Each pizza is $5 while each burger is $10.
