- Eren’s two main hobbies are taking vacations overseas (V) and eating expensive meals (M). His utility function is given as: U(V,M) = V^2MLast year, the average price of taking a vacation overseas was US$200 and the average price of an expensive meal is $50. However, due to supply problems in Onions, the average price of an expensive meal rose to $75. The average price of a vacation did not change. His income, which is $1500, did not change. Suppose that the Department of Welfare wants to know how much should be given to Eren to offset his change un utility due to the price increase of an expensive meal. Calculate the compensative variation (CV).A person has a 2-period utility consumption function U(c1, c2), with a budget function W = c1+c2/1+ra. Explain with pictures how one should choose c1 and c2 such that MRS(from c1 to c2) equals 1+r.b. Also explain with pictures how when the individual receives income, whileconditions at that time was a crisis.Suppose that, from an initial individual consumer equilibrium position in the indifference curve-budget line diagram, the prices of both goods rise by 10 percent. What happens to the position and slope of the budget line? Why does the consumer’s level of satisfaction from a given money income fall? Illustrate and explain. Would it be acceptable for an economist to say that the level of satisfaction of the consumer fell by exactly 10 percent? Why or why not?
- It is given that the price of goods X and Y are both Rs.10 each, a consumer consumes 10 units of X and 10 units of Y at equilibrium.a. Draw the budget line and indifference curve and show the point of consumer equilibrium. b. If the price of X falls to Rs.5, PY and money income remaining the same, what is the real income increase?c. At the new equilibrium caused by a fall in price of X, the consumer has a combination of 16 units of X and 12 units of Y. Show the price effect of a change in price of X using the PCC.d. Why are more units of Y consumed even though its price has not fallen?A consumer has utility u(x,y) = x^4 y^2 where x is this year’s consumption, and y is next year’s consumption. She makes 600 dollars income this year and 720 dollars income the next year. There is also a bank where she can borrow money at the interest rate r=%50 and lend money (to the bank) at the interest rate r=%20 (of course, she will decide to borrow or lend this year and pay off her debt or receive her savings the next year). a. Should she borrow money from or lend to the bank this year? How much b. If her utility were u(x,y) = xy2 instead, re-solving (a), would she borrow money or lend? How much? c. If her utility were u(x,y) = x^c y^2, what should “c” be so that she ends up neither borrowing nor lending?Consider a consumer that lives only for two periods. He works in period 1 (and gets income Y1) and moves up the corporate ladder in period 2 (and gets income Y1 < Y2). This consumer has the usual preferences over time: u(C1) + βu(C2) 1. Assume this consumer cannot borrow. What is the consumption in period 1 and period 2? Display graphically. Show the corresponding utility curve. 2. Assume that now the consumer is allowed to save or borrow. Write down the new budget constraint. What is the consumption in period 1 and period 2? Display graphically. Could the consumer be worse off? Could the consumer be better off? Draw budget constraints such that for one of them consumer prefers to borrow and for the other - prefers to save. 3. Assume once again that a consumer cannot borrow, but can borrow and immediately sell some MacGuffins, and in the next period, the consumer must buy back the MacGuffins to return to the lender. Assume that MacGuffin t r a d e s a t P1 > 0 in the first period…
- Assume a consumer has a well-behaved utility function (e.g. strictly increasing, diminishing MRS) with an income of $80. Suppose the price of good X is $2 and the price of good Y is $8. Assuming the consumer has chosen the optimal market basket, what is the consumers marginal rate of substitution at that consumption level? Group of answer choices 4 not enough information 40 10 .254. Show how to construct the reference dependent utility function for two friends Kate and Mary whose gains and losses are listed as follows : Kate's net worth is $ 4.5 million ( decreased from $ 5.5 to $ 4.5 million ) Mary's net worth $ 3.2 million ( increased from $ 3 to $ 3.2 million ) ( First determine the reference point ( use a parameter ) and then derive reference utility function for each ) .George has a fixed income and can afford at most 7 units of X if he spends his entire income on X. Alternatively, if he spends all his income on Y, he can afford at most 6 units of Y. Draw George's budget line and an indifference curve such that George chooses to buy 4 pieces of X. Martha has the same income and faces the same prices, yet she chooses to buy 2 pieces of X. In equilibrium, what is George's subjective value of X in terms of Y? What is Martha's?

- 33. Suppose MRSx,y = MUx/MUy = 0.1(a) If the consumer substitutes 10 units of X for one unit of Y, then the utility remainsunchanged(b) Regardless of prices, the consumer will only consume Y(c) If the consumer substitutes 1 unit of Y for 0.1 unit of X, then the utility remainsunchanged(d) Regardless of prices, the consumer will only consume XSuppose a family (with 1 child) earns $50,000 per year and there is no publicly provided education. Assume the price of other goods is $2,000 and the price for education/ year is $5,000. Draw the family's budget constraint. Show how free public education worth $20,000 per student changes the budget constraint. Draw a set of indifference curves to show that the family increases education consumption after b. Show how a school voucher redeemable for $20,000 worth of education changes the family's budget constraint. What happens to the amount of education the family purchases for the child?A consumer has the utility function U = x^2/3 y^1/3 where MUx =2y^1/3 / 3x^1/3 and MUy = X^2/3 / 3Y^ 2/3 . In Los Angeles, the consumer’s net income would equal $90000, and the prices of good X and good Y are $10 and $5, respectively. In San Francisco, consumer’s net income would equal $135000, and the prices of good X and good Y are $18 and $6 respectively. a) Where should the consumer live if his goal is to maximize his utility? b) What would be the lowest income that’d convince the consumer to choose the other city?
