Raymond consumes meatloaves and pineapples. He has decided that his monthly budget will be $1500. Suppose that one meatloaf costs $375, while one pineapple costs $150. i. What is the expression for Raymond’s budget constraint? ii. Draw a graph of Raymond’s budget line (meatloaf on the y axis). iii. Show how Raymond’s budget line changes if the price of pineapples increases to $370. iv. Suppose Raymond decides to cut his monthly budget in half. Coincidentally, the next time he shops, he learns that meatloaves and pineapples are on sale for half price. Show what happens to Raymond’s budget line?

Express the price of Texas Pete, in terms relative to the price of Laoganma. b) Given this set up, would Peter ever consume at the following points of (#bottles of Laoganma, #bottles of Texas Pete)? Why/why not?
