Suppose that Tiffany has an income of $20 per week and she spends it on frozen pizza (P) and beer (B).The price of a bottle of beer (PB) is $1 and the price of frozen pizza (Pp) is $5 per pizza.(a) Derive an equation for the budget constraint.(b) Draw the budget constraint with beer on the horizontal axis and pizza on the vertical axis. Clearlyindicate the x and y intercepts.(c) What is the slope of the budget constraint?(d) On a separate graph, draw the budget constraint when the price of beer increases to $2 per bottle.What happens to the slope of the budget constraint compared to your answer in Part (c)?(e) On a separate graph, draw the budget constraint when Tiffany’s income falls to $15 per week (assumethat the price of beer is again $1 per bottle). What happens to the slope of the budget constraint comparedto your answer in Part(c)?

Answer:

First 4 subparts are answered below:

A)

Equation for budget constraint: p1.x1 + p2.x2 = M

Substituting the given information gives: 1B + 5P = 20

B)

The budget constraint is below: See  attachment

C)

Slope of budget constraint: -P(pizza)/P(beer) = -5

D)

New budget constraint: 2B + 5P = 20

New slope: -5/2 = -2.5

New constraint line: See attachment
