- The price of a unit of Good 1 is Tk20. The price of a unit of Good 2 is Tk5. The consumer's income is Tk100. Graph the consumer's budget constraint (with Good 2 on the horizontal axis.) Indicate the intercepts and slope.
Suppose Alice and Drake are doing Physics and Math homework. In one hour, Alice can solve 5 Physics questions or 10 Math questions, or any other combination lying on the line between those two points. In the same amount of time, Drake can solve 10 Physics questions or 15 Math questions, or any other combination lying on the line between those two points.

How long will it take a given sum of money to increase 4 times it's present value when compounded half yearly at 7% rate of interest?
True or False
Evaluate the statement: “Those who receive food stamps would be better off by receiving cash (in the same value).” Use graphs and/or calculations to support your evaluation.
1) the total revenue function in terms of Q
2) the total cost function in terms of Q
3) the profit function in terms of Q
4) the level of output that maximizes profit and the profit level.
5) the value of marginal cost and marginal revenue at this profit.
6) the level of output for which average cost is minimized.
