  • Plotting a Budget Constraint from Tabulated Data

Analyzing a Plotted Budget Constraint

Based on the data in the table and the accompanying description, evaluate the student's conclusion. Is their claim that Combination B lies below the budget constraint correct? Justify your answer by explaining the relationship between the data points and the properties of a budget constraint line.

  • A student has a fixed weekly budget for two goods: cups of coffee and sandwiches. The table below shows several combinations of these two goods that the student can purchase, exhausting their entire budget. Assuming sandwiches are plotted on the horizontal axis and coffee on the vertical axis, which of the following graphs correctly represents the student's budget constraint based on this data?

  • Evaluating a Consumption Choice

  • You are given a table showing different combinations of two goods, 'Good X' and 'Good Y', that a consumer can afford by spending their entire budget. To visualize their budget constraint, you need to plot this data on a graph with 'Good Y' on the vertical axis and 'Good X' on the horizontal axis. Arrange the following steps in the correct logical order to construct the budget constraint line.

  • A consumer is analyzing a table that lists various combinations of two products, 'Streaming Subscriptions' and 'Concert Tickets', that they can purchase with their fixed entertainment budget. They observe that for every additional concert ticket they consider buying, the number of streaming subscriptions they can afford decreases by exactly two. If this data were plotted on a graph, the resulting budget constraint would be a curve that bows outwards.

  • A consumer's budget constraint for two goods, 'Good A' and 'Good B', is represented by a straight line on a graph. 'Good A' is plotted on the vertical axis and 'Good B' is on the horizontal axis. The line shows that the consumer can afford a maximum of 20 units of Good A (if they buy zero units of Good B) or a maximum of 10 units of Good B (if they buy zero units of Good A).

    The table below shows some combinations of the two goods that lie on this budget constraint. Based on the graphical relationship described, what is the missing value for 'Good B' in the table?

  • Interpreting the Shape of a Budget Constraint

  • A student has a budget to spend on two items: digital albums and movie tickets. The table below shows different combinations of these items they can purchase by using their entire budget. Match each combination from the table with its correct description in the context of plotting a budget constraint graph where 'Digital Albums' are on the vertical axis and 'Movie Tickets' are on the horizontal axis.
