Price of cup of coffee = $1 (Given)
Price of records = Income/Quantity of records
When the budget constraint is represented by grey line , then it touches the vertical axis at 48 , which means 48 cups of coffee and we know that price of coffee is $1 , so we can derive income = (48)($1) = $48.
And we can see that grey budget line touches the horizontal axis at 6 , which means 6 records. As a result, we can find that price of records = ($48)/6 = $8.
And blue budget line touches the horizontal axis at 12 , which mans 12 records . As a result , we can find that price of records = ($48)/12 = $4.
So, the grey line (BC1) is Laura's budget constraint when the price of a record is $8 and the blue line (BC2) is her budget constraint when the price of a record is $4.
Based on this we get the demand curve for records points :
When P = $8 , then optimal consumption of records is 4 records (which is represented by IC1 tangent to grey budget line) , so quantity of records = 4.
When P=$4 , then optimal consumption of records is 4 (which is represented by IC2 tangent to blue budget line), so quantity of records = 8.
Price | Quantity demanded |
4 | 8 |
8 | 4 |
By plotting these points we get the Laura's demand curve for records, :

Sean and Yvette Nag live in San Diego and enjoy going out to fancy restaurants for dinner and to diners for breakfast. On the following diagram, the purple curves 11 and 12 represent two of their indifference curves for fancy dinners and diner breakfasts. They have $1,000 per month available to spend on eating out. The price of a diner breakfast is always $10. Each labeled point represents the tangency between a budget constraint and the corresponding indifference curve. DINER...
Question 2: in the figure below you can find two budget constraints and two indifference curves for Dan. Initially, Dan's hourly wage is $10, and he chooses bundle A on IC1, and enjoys 13 hours of leisure. When the wage increases to $12, he prefers bundle B on IC2, and enjoys 11 hours of leisure In a manner similar to Figure 2.7 on page 27 of the textbook, draw the income effect and substitution effect for leisure when the wage...
Assume an income equation, $24 = $6 Meat + $3 Cheese, and an appropriate indifference curve. Solve the intercept points and graph my budget constraint for these two goods. If you did Entry 10, you may use those numbers. Let the price of Meat falls from $6 to $5 and then to $4. Draw the resulting budget constraints (with indifference curves) and derive the Demand Curve for Meat.

The following graph shows three indifference curves and budget constraints for a consumer. The consumer is initially consuming at point A, on the indifference curve Ui and is constrained by the budget constraint BC1 (indicated by the blue line) Bc3 10 Ul BC BC 10 Suppose the government provides this consumer a subsidy on good x, which effectively lowers the price of x. This is represented by a of BC1 out away from the origin. The result is this consumer...
