1 IMMEDIATE 3EFFECT ON EQUILIBRIUM PRICE AND QUANTITY OF BEEF

Slaughtering the cows will result in an increase in the supply of beef to the market,
which will in turn lead to a decrease in the equilibrium price of beef and an increase in the equilibrium

As it happens, the slaughter of beef cattle has coincided with a decrease in consumers' income.

5) Determining if (5,5) is affordable in both cases


when income is 10
$5A+$5B = $10
A=2-B
When income is 20
$5A+$5B = $20
A= 4-B
From Above budget line equation it is affordable at (5,5) for both incomes
