Explanation / Answer

5. The situation given is depicted by Graph D. As the price of tea falls , its demand will increase without any change in the demand for scones as we do not know weather these are substitutes or complement goods. Thus, with fall in price from 1$ to 0.5 $ , the budget line tilts upwards towards tea as showm in graph D.

6. The opportunity cost of tacos over milkshakes is -

Price of milkshakes/ Price of tacos

= 2/10

= 1/5

Thus, answer is D
