How do I graph this? My equilibrium I'm getting P=14 but when I plug that into the equations I'm getting Qs= 21 and Qd= 7.
Suppose you observed that the consumption of organges increased sharply last year, however thet total consumer expenditure on oranges did not change. Did a supply shift, demand shift or both cause this? explain using graphs

Malita has K150 of disposable income to spend each week and cannot borrow money. She buys Milk balls and a composite good. Suppose that Milk balls cost K2.50 per bag and the composite good costs K1 per unit.Sketch Malita’s budget constraint.What is the opportunity cost, in terms of bags of Milk balls, of an additional unit of the composite good?Suppose that in an inflationary period the cost of the composite good increases to K1.50 per unit, but the cost of Milk balls remains the same. Sketch the new budget constraint.What is the opportunity cost of van additional unit of the composite good?Suppose now Malita demands a pay raise to figjht the inflation. Her boss submits and raises her salary so that her disposable income is now K225 per week. Sketch the new budget constraint. Is Malita better off?What is the opportunity cost of an additional unit of the composite good?
In a microeconomic model, how would you differentiate between an 'exogenous' variable and an 'endogenous' variable? O Endogenous variables are those determined within the model, while exogenous variables are given from outside the model. O Exogenous variables are those which economists do not study, while endogenous variables are heavily studied. O Exogenous variables are variables that economists cannot measure, while endogenous variables are measurable. Exogenous variables cannot influence endogenous variables in any economic model. O More than one of the above.

ANSWER ONLY SUBPART 4 Suppose the economy has 100 units of labor (L) and 100 units of capital (K), and it chooses to allocate three times more labor and capital in the production of good X than in good Y. Suppose also that the production of goods X and Y are represented by the following functions: X = LX0.25KX0.25; Y = 2LY0.25KY0.25. Compute for Lx, Ly, Kx and Ky Calculate the MRTSLK of each firm Is this allocation efficient? How so? How many unit of X and Y will be produced?
Recent research by economists David Cutler, Edward Glaeser, and Jesse Shapiro on Americans' increasing obesity points to improved technology in the preparation of tasty and more caloric foods as a possible explanation of weight gain. Before World War II, people rarely prepared French fries at home because of the significant amount of peeling, cutting, and cooking required. Today French fries are prepared in factories using low-cost labor, shipped frozen, and then simply reheated in homes. Paul consumes two goods: potatoes and leisure, N. The number of potatoes Paul consumes does not vary, but their tastiness, T, does. For each extra unit of tastiness, he must spend p hours in the kitchen. Thus, Paul's time constraint is N+pT = 24, and Paul's utility function is U = Paul's marginal rate of substitution (MRS), with T measured on the horizontal axis and N measured on the vertical axis, is N MRS = 2.

We begin by solving the consumer’s problems: (a) What is the US’s budget constraint? (b) Describe the maximisation problem of the US, set up the Lagrangian, andderive the US’s optimal consumption of smartphones and rice as a functionof the price of smartphones ps, the price of rice pr and the profits of thesmartphone producer πs (you do not need to solve for these profits yet).

1. How does a consumer’s optimal choice of goods change if all prices and the consumer’s income double? (Hint: focus on the budget constraint) 2. Output is produced according to a production process given by: Q = 4LK, where L is the quantity of labor input and K is the quantity of capital input. If the price of K is $10 and the price of L is $5, then what is the cost-minimizing combination of K and L capable of producing 32 units of output?
