5. Assume that a consumer has two goods to consume: medical care services
(M) and all other goods (X). She has monthly income of $4500.
A. Assume that the price of medical care services is $500 per unit and price of
other goods is $100 per unit. Plot the budget constraint of this consumer.
Remember to label the origin, axis, and intercepts on your graph.
B. Plot how the budget constraint would change when the price of other goods
increases to $150 per unit. How did the relative price change? Briefly explain.
C. Did the consumer better off or worse off after the change in price? Please
explain. (Hint: you can use concepts of income effects and substitution effects
to answer this question).
D. From your own experience, how did your budget constraints most recently
change? Was it due to the COVID pandemic?

buy only two goods, apples or bananas. The price of an apple is $3.00 and the
price of a banana is $2.00. What is the slope of the budget line if the quantity of
apples were measured on the horizontal axis and bananas on the vertical axis?
