Question
Suppose that students only buy two goods: (i) Textbooks and (ii) Pens. The cost of a Textbook is $80 each. The cost of a pen is $4 each. Suppose that students have $600 to spend. 1. Draw the budget constraint for this problem. For full credit, be sure to label the y-intercept and x-intercept. Draw this with textbooks on the x-axis and pens on the y-axis

- A consumer has an annual budget constraint for two goods: “housing sq. ft." and "$ for everything else". Draw the budget constraint for this consumer if income (v) = $50,000 and price per sq. ft. of housing, ph, is S200. Please be sure to fully label your graph (i.e., slope, intercept, etc.). Note: plot "housing sq. ft." on the x-axis. How would this consumer's budget line change if she received a $5,000 raise and the price of housing increased to $250? Include a graph with your answer. How did the economic rate of substitution (ERS) between housing and $ for everything else change when pa changed? Please interpret the ERS both before and after the price change.arrow_forwardDing Ding is a cat philosopher. He spends his time on two activities. Sleep and thinking. Both activities produce pleasure to Ding Ding. How effective Ding Ding is in each activity varies day by day. But on a given day, if he spend “s” effective hours in sleeping and “t” effective hours in thinking, his utility is u(s,t)=s^2+t. you can assume that time is continuous in answering the following question. (A) Let us first ignore that there are only 24 hours each day. Label “s” on the x-axis and “t” on the y-axis in a diagram. Draw two indifference curves u(s,t)=s^2+t=24^2=576, and u(s,t)= s^2+t=12^2=144. On each indifference curve, you have to mark at least the coordinates of four points to illustrate the shape of it. (B) Describe in words how these two indifference curves in (a) relate to each other.arrow_forwardA decrease in the price of good Y will have what effect on the budget line on a normal X-Y graph? Select one: OA. Parallel outward shift of the line OB. Parallel inward shift of the line OC. Decrease the horizontal intercept COD. Increase the vertical interceptarrow_forward
- Lucas has $40 per week that he can spend on lemon soda (X) and chips (Y). The price of the lemon soda (PX) is $2 per bottle, and the price of the chips (PY) is $4 price Write down Lucas’s budget constraint. Draw the budget constraint on the graph below. Make sure to indicate the intercepts and the slope of budget constraint. Label it as BC1. Provide an economic interpretation of the slope of the budget constraint BC1 Suppose Lucas’s income decreases to $12 per week, and the price of lemon soda and chips remain the same. Write down Lucas’s new budget constraint. Then draw his new budget constraint on the same graph above. Make sure to indicate the intercepts and the slope. Label it as BC2. Suppose Lucas’s income remains to be $40 per week and the price of chips remains the same, but the price of lemon soda (PX) increases to $5. Write down Lucas’s new budget constraint. Then draw his new budget constraint on the same graph above. Make sure to indicate the intercepts and the…arrow_forwardQ8. Jacob's favorite activities are going to baseball games and going to the theater. Jacob's budget for these activities is $600. A ticket to a baseball game costs $15 and a ticket to the theater costs $60. a. Graph Jacob's budget constraint. b. Calculate the slope of Jacob's budget constraint c. How many t total baseball games can Jacob attend if he visits the theater six times? d. Suppose Jacob receives $300 in cash for his birthday and he decides to put all of this money toward his entertainment budget. Draw Jacob's new budget constraint. e. If Jacob now decides to visit the theater ten times, how many baseball games can he attend?arrow_forwardLinda loves buying shoes and going out to dance. It costs Linda $50 to buy a new pair of shoes or to spend an evening out dancing. Assume that she has $500 to spend on shoes and dancing. 1. What is the equation for her budget line?
