A consumer budget is Rs 40 . He is buying good -1 and good-2 . Price of good -1 is Rs 8 per unit and of good -2 is Rs 10 per unit . Draw a budget line on the basis of these figures
Dear Student,
Price of good 1= 8
Price of good 2= 10
Budget of the consumer= 40
If we take good 1 to be x and good 2 to be y,
8x+10y=40
Simplifying the equation, we get
4x+5y=20
When x=0, y= 20/5, which is 4.
When y=0, x=20/4, which is 5.
So we know that the line passes thrpugh two points (0,4) and (5,0).
Hope that this helps.
Regards
