Assume that a consumer has a given budget or income of $24 and that she can
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?
Louis is trying to decide what combination of cups and plates to buy. His

The graph of the budget line below has dollars on the vertical axis and food on the horizontal axis. Which statement is false?
D
100 Food
The vertical intercept represents all money available for purchasing.
The distance OA shows the amount of money spent on OD amount of food.
If the amount of money available is known in this graph, then the absolute and relative price of food is known also.
The horizontal intercept represents all the food the consumer could purchase with the budget available.

Deriving demand from an indifference map Valerie lives in San Francisco and enjoys drinking lattes and eating scones. The price of a latte is held constant at $4 throughout this problem. On the following diagram, the purple curves (I and I2) represent two of Valerie's indifference curves. The lines BL₁ and BL2 show two budget lines.

- Suppose that with a budget of $100, Deborah spends $60 on sushi and $40 on bagels when sushi costs $2 per piece and bagels cost $2 per bagel. But then, after the price of bagels falls to $1 per bagel, she spends $50 on sushi and $50 on bagels. How many pieces of sushi and how many bagels did Deborah consume before the price change? At the new prices, how much money would it have cost Deborah to buy those same quantities (the ones that she consumed before the price change)? Given that it used to take Deborah’s entire $100 to buy those quantities, how big is the income effect caused by the reduction in the price of bagels?arrow_forwardCathy has $240 to spend on cherry and/or coconuts.

- . Suppose that initially, bread is $2 per loaf,and cake is $2 per slice. Marie Antoinettehas $18 to spend on these items each week.At this income and those prices, Marie consumes 5 loaves of bread and 4 slices of cake.Then, the price of bread DECREASES to$1 per loaf. (The price of cake is still $2.)IF Marie’s budget had also fallen to $13so that she could still just afford her original bundle, she WOULD choose to spendthose $13 on 7 loaves of bread and 3 slicesof cake.But since Marie still has her original $18budget, she actually chooses to buy 4loaves of bread and 7 slices of cake afterthe price change.When the price of bread fell from $2 to $1,what was the substitution effect on Marie’sdemand for bread?arrow_forwardQ1 please help me quickly!! Your budget is $200. The price of good 1 (x1) is $4 per unit, and that of good 2 (x2) is $3 per unit.
