Answer:

A: q1=0     q2= 10  

B: q1=4   q2=8    

C: q1=8  q2=6      

D: q1=12  q2=4

E: q1=16  q2=2

F: q1=20 q2=0

Explanation:

The budget constraint is $15. This is the amount of money to spend either all in candy bars or bags of peanuts or a combination of both.

Each candy bar costs $0,75 and a bag of peanuts costs $1,5. The budget equation is:

Y=0,75*q1+1,5*q2

Y= budget constraint

q1= quantity of candy bars consume

q2= quantity of peanuts bag consume

q1= (Y/0,75)-/1,5/0,75)*q2

q2=(Y/1,5)-(0,75/1,5)*q1

The maximum amount of candy bars= 20 (q1=15/0,75)

The maximum amount of peanuts bags= 10  (q2=15/1,5)

A:

q1=0     q2= 10  

B:

q1=4   q2=8     [q2=(15/1,5)-(0,75/1,5)*4]

C:

q1=8  q2=6      [q2=(15/1,5)-(0,75/1,5)*8]

D:

q1=12  q2=4

E:

q1=16  q2=2

F:

q1=20 q2=0
