Final answer:
The question lacks specific pricing for the grocery items to determine the remaining budget for Jessica. In the context of typical consumer budget problems, we’ve examined Alphonso’s choices and the concept of opportunity cost within a given budget constraint.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the student's question does not provide the price of each individual item (guacamole, Doritos, cheese, hamburger, and Pepsi) but asks for the remaining budget after such purchase, there is insufficient data to calculate the exact answer. However, we can discuss budgeting. A consumer, like Alphonso, has a limited budget and must choose how to allocate it wisely. If Alphonso spends his $10 on burgers that cost $2 each, he could buy five burgers or 20 bus tickets at 50 cents each.
If we were to represent this graphically through a budget constraint, we would place burgers on one axis and bus tickets on the other, showing all possible combinations that Alphonso could afford. Opportunity cost is the value of the next best alternative given up when making a choice. For Alphonso, the opportunity cost of buying a burger instead of bus tickets is the number of tickets he has to forego, which would be four since each burger costs the same as four bus tickets.
