Sue views hot dogs and hot dog buns as perfect complements in her consumption, and the corners of her indifference curves follow
the 45-degree line. Suppose the price of hot dogs is $5 per package (8 hot dogs), the price of buns is $3 per package (8 hot dog buns), and Sue's budget is $48 per month. What is her optimal choice under this scenario?
The indifference curves follow the 45-degree so the ratio for the hot dog:bun will be 1:1. Each package of hot dog gives 8 hot dogs while each package of the bun gives 8 hot dog buns. The ratio of hot dog package: buns package that Sue needs will be:
(number of hot dogs every package)/ (number of buns every package) * (ratio of hot dog : bun)
8/8 * 1/1= 1
The optimal choice package ratio is 1:1, then the amount of food Sue can buy will be: 48$/ (1*$5 + 1*$3)= $48/$8= 6 package.
The optimal choice is 6 packages of hot dogs and 6 packages of buns
Political parties start on the local level, move to state level, and then to national level. Due to progressive reforms, local party organizations are usually weak.
Some people in the Middle East want to learn Western way and others don't. Though most of them are interested in having all the facilities, they are not interested to follow Western ways completely. And this is why in some parts of Middle East heavy resistance against the West can be seen among general population.
